Star Trek The Next Conversation - a comedy Star Trek podcast currently about TV's Deep Space Nine DS9 (or TNG)

O'Brien gets sick with a highly non-contagious biological weapon virus, Andy still sees no evidence of why Bashir would ever become beloved by fans, and Maurice Hurley is excited about a double homicide investigation which Keiko solves... or doesn't?

Odo meets his daddy - is he a monster or a good daddy?  Meanwhile Matt has some issues with Dax having an itchy transporter finger and Bashir is back in gear as everybody’s favorite Deep Space Incel.

O'Brien is a RIVAL with Bashir in the episode, and Quark has a RIVAL in Chris Sarandon!  And WHAT ELSE happens?? There's some little luck machines.  Odo wanders around in the back of some shots. Kira trips (offscreen). Don't bother buckling up for this one, crew.

[Episode discussion begins around 1:26ish]  

The Bajorans give refugees the cold shoulder, the crew is SHOCKED at a matriarchal society, and the Universal Translator has more trouble with a new species than it even did in Darmok.

[Episode discussion begins around 1:20ish, along with a lot of hails demanding we not tamper with the length (!)]
