In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges," a trip to Romulus to give a talk is not at all what it seems when Dr. Bashir is recruited to do some spy work for Section 31. When nobody around him can be trusted, he gains the confidence of a Senator which endangers both of them.

• Recap the story and analyze key moments.
• Discuss the moral dilemmas presented.
• Debate whether the episode holds up and if the messages are still relevant.

Happy Life Day, one and all! We come not to bash The Star Wars Holiday Special (aired on this day in 1978) but rather to put it in the proper context among variety shows of the 1970s. Even though those had fewer wookies.
