Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Cardassians

Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 2 episode 5: Cardassians! This episode focuses on war orphans left behind by the Cardassians when they withdrew from Bajor. Sisko finds himself in the middle of a custody battle that seems to have piqued the interest of Gul Dukat. Dukat seems overly concerned about the plight of a single orphan that he (supposedly) didn't even know existed up until now. Lots of drama and also another recognizable guest star in Robert Mandan.

Cardassians: Garek, Dukat and Rugal...oh my...

An orphaned Cardassian "child" (and I use that term loosely as the actor was in his mid 20s, but playing a 13 year old) turns up at the station. Garek takes a particular interest in him and pays the price when the kid bites him. This sets off a string of events that involves several Dukat phone calls, Sisko in his PJs, some fun banter between Bashir and Garak, a quick trip to a Bajoran orphanage and a weighty custody hearing. Join us as we discuss the development of the Garak-Bashir relationship, the sliminess of Dukat and the purpleness of Sisko's PJs.

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Invasive Procedures

Hello everyone! Welcome to Season 2 episode 4: Invasive Procedures! Hot off the 3-part season opener, we slide into a standalone episode starring none other than Lionel Luthor...well actually it's John Glover who is well known for playing Lionel Luthor on Smallville and most importantly LA slimeball Brice Cummings in Scrooged (his most important role). Because the station has been evacuated (so we ARE capable of evacuating!!) , DS9 is being run by a skeleton crew leaving it vulnerable to an attack. And Lionel attacks! And as always, the crew is unprepared and cannot come up with a useful plan! Argh!!!

What Invasive Procedures?

Lionel Luthor (also known as Verad in this episode) has come to kidnap a member of the crew...well part of a member of the crew. He wants Dax, not Jadzia, just Dax. He's a trill without a symbiont and he's come to rectify that. And let's just say...this does not go well for anyone.

The usual and not so usual

We cover the usual (bad hair) and the not so usual (Kira getting beat up by someone). Something has gone wrong with the hair in season 2 except for some killer bangs back in episode 2. But we are all a bit frizzy or in Lionel Luther's case we've had a very unflattering bowl cut. Questionable hair is a common thing on this show, what's not common is someone getting the better of Kira in a fight! She takes out a big Cardassian in episode 1 of this season, but here she gets taken out by Verad's tough as nails girlfriend. It is alarming!

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: The Siege

Hello everyone! Welcome to Season 2 episode 3: The Siege! This is the action-packed finale of the 3-parter that opened season 2. We continue on with our high-powered guest stars of Louise Fletcher, Frank Langella and Richard Beymer though only 2 of them are coming out of this episode alive! And we finally see some teamwork both on the station and on an away mission and it's quite a ride!

The Siege on the station

Steven Weber, from Wings fame, leads the f-troop in an invasion of DS9. Sisko tries to hold down the fort until Kira and Dax deliver the Cardassian-involvement evidence to the chamber of ministers down on Bajor. So while Sisko is keeping everyone alive on the station (despite the best efforts of Colonel Wings), Kira and Dax are dodging attacks in a sub-impulse bucket of bolts! So much action!

The Hair

Just one more thing...we may mention the hair in this episode a few times.

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: The Circle

Hello everyone! It's time for Season 2 episode 2: The Circle! This is the second episode in a 3-parter and we are digging it so far. We've got all of our high-powered guest stars here in Louise Fletcher, Frank Langella and Richard Beymer. Plus we've got migraine triggers, naked prophecies, the axis of evil and great bangs. Oh yeah and we also debate the greatest scene (so far) of DS9. Kim says yes. James says no. Tune in to find out which scene it is.

Just who is running The Circle?

Minister Jaro, the power behind The Circle, reveals his nefarious plans in this episode and everything is coming together for him. He's got his scary ally in the Sydney Opera House-sporting Evil Vedek Winn and he's got a stockpile of weapons. Odo is searching for the source of the weapons, everyone is sad Kira is leaving and Kira is searching for the meaning of her naked migraine vision.

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: The Homecoming

We are back! And it's time for Season 2 episode 1: The Homecoming! We finished season 1 on a high note with 3 good episodes in a row; so how does season 1 start? Well it starts with the first of a 3-parter and some high-octane guest stars. We meet Minister Jaro played by Tony award winning actor Frank Langella and also Li Nalas played by Golden Globe nominated actor Richard Beymer. And we also get a name for the cafeteria: it's the replimat (this seems like a critical development).

Just whose homecoming is it?

In this episode, Kira and Miles are on a secret mission to rescue a Bajoran prisoner of war named Li Nalas. Li is revered as a war hero on Bajor and when Kira finds out he's still alive she feels he's the only one who can unite a fractured Bajor. Sisko agrees and this 3-part story is underway.

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Season 1 Wrap Up

Welcome to our wrap up of Season 1 of Star Trek Deep Space Nine! In this episode of the podcast we talk about what we loved and didn't love about season 1. We also go through our mail bag and read some of the emails and messages that we've been getting from you!

Season 1 Wrap Up

To wrap up season 1, we each list our top 5 and bottom 5 episodes. There is a fair amount of overlap, but at least one of Kim's bottom 5 appears in James's top 5...how did this happen? Can you guess what that episode is? We also talk about our favorite guest stars of the season and we call out the worst wig (hint: it's visible in the image attached to that episode of the podcast). Enjoy!

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: In the Hands of the Prophets S1E19

Welcome to S1E19 In the Hands of the Prophets. In this episode of Deep Space Nine, we meet Vedek Winn, also known as Evil Winn on this podcast. She's come to the station to push church into Keiko's school and shout "blasphemy" at every opportunity. She is not nice and she causes lots of chaos.

In the Hands of the Prophets

This is a dense episode and we have a lot to talk about (you won't believe how much we edited OUT of this long episode)! Yes, there is the big topic of the separation of church and state when Evil Winn turns up to accuse Keiko of blasphemy! There is also a murder mystery going on in the background as Miles searches for a lost security tool that has disappeared into a pile of goo that may or may not have been a Starfleet ensign that we've never heard of before. We meet Neela, a misguided zealot who also is a good engineer and Vedek Barile who casts a very dull shadow next to Louise Fletcher's frightening portrayal of Evil Winn.

Rebinging Star Trek DS9 S1E18: Duet

Welcome to S1E18 Duet. In this episode of Deep Space Nine, an unknown Cardassian arrives at the station seeking medical treatment. The trouble is, his condition only exists in survivors or soldiers of a forced labor camp called Gallitep. Kira wants the guy's head on a stick, but Sisko is being cautious. We take a very deep dive into the details of this dialogue-heavy episode.

Duet

No B-story in this exceedingly dramatic and rather shocking classic episode. WHERE'S MY JAKE? On the other hand, mixing in some lighthearted stuff would have been awkward. We get some extremely disturbing stories from the mouth of this guy claiming to be either Marritza, an "innocent" filing clerk, or Gul Darhe'el, the Butcher of Gallitep. Fasten your seat belts for this one.

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Dramatis Personae S1E17

Welcome to S1E17 Dramatis Personae. In this episode of DS9, everyone is acting weird. Kira is on some kind of power trip. Miles has gone into full "protect Sisko" mode and Bashir seems to be playing both sides. Meanwhile, what is Odo to do?

Dramatis Personae

We don't have a B-story in Dramatis Personae. Instead, we ship the kids and Keiko off to Bajor on a school field trip so that we can have a classic "everyone gets taken over by an alien presence" episode! Kira is trying to take over the station. Sisko cares about nothing except something he is secretly drawing on a board. Dax appears to be stoned or is just very old and confused. Bashir is all over the place. That leaves Odo. Poor, Odo. Nobody is acting like themselves and he seems to be the only one who notices. What's a shape-shifter to do in a senseless power struggle for a gas station?

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: The Forsaken S1E16

Welcome to S1E16 The Forsaken. In this episode of DS9, we get a visit from Lwaxana Troi, a well-known and loved Star Trek The Next Generation character. She is up to her usual antics here, chasing after one of our crew members. In a related story, the station is yet again put at risk by some very bad plans, including just downloading files from a rogue probe-like vessel that comes through the wormhole.

The Forsaken

There are a number of inter-related stories going on in this episode. Odo is trapped in a turbolift while fighting off some unwelcome advances. Bashir is trying to keep a bunch of stuffy ambassadors happy. And Miles and Dax are dealing with some dangerous files they've haphazardly downloaded to the station. They somehow equate these files to an abandoned puppy (The Forsaken) and are trying to build a dog house for it. Yes, that's what i said...THEY ARE TRYING TO BUILD A DOGHOUSE FOR THE COMPUTER FILES.

This is primarily an Odo/Lwaxana episode even though the two don't have a lot of screen time. Somehow these two great actors lift this entire episode and we do forgive the puppy computer analogies (for the most part) because of them.

Be sure to listen to our previous episode: S1E15 If Wishes Were Horses (the wackiest of all season 1 episodes).
