You Got 2 Know

You ever step into a bookstore and find something fun to read and quickly realize it's Reylo fanfiction? Get ready for the TV equivalent as we get into this messy, out of order Doctor Who movie rip-off starring Smart Sexy Dr. Lady and a cardboard cut-out of the idea of man. They have to save the world as the Master and his T-1000 try to stop them with the power of Matrix cosplay. Some days I really miss the old SyFy.

Today's modern recommendation is Bridgerton.

The final episode of our Deep Space Nine retrospective is here. It's Star Trek at it's most bittersweet. Join us to say goodbye to Benjamin Sisko and his crew, along with the enemies we made along the way. From Gul Dukat's cult leader finale to Odo's ultimate soup fate, we're getting into it all.

Featuring Alex Baxter Scott.

Everything happens so much. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is Murphy's Law in motion and so is this episode. We return to Odo's less than solid storyline as the Dominion War wages on and our equipment tries to censor us. Let's try and get through the torrid love affair of Worf and Jadzia, Julian Bashir's narrative shaking reveal, and get down to the brass tax on Odo's complicity with his previous Cardassian employers.

It's a blast from the past! Today we're talking about the 2007 reboot of The Bionic Woman. Jaime Sommers is a 24 year old bartender raising her little sister, Lucy Hale of Pretty Little Liars infamy, while she dates a college professor. When they're in a freak accident, his only option to save her is turn her into a bionic woman. We've got red flags, toxic lesbians, and Katie Sackoff kicking ass.

Today's modern recommendation is First Kill.

We've made it to the halfway point with Deep Space Nine and we're in prime Star Trek territory. We've got Tony Todd breaking out hearts, they've treated us to the most sapphic incarnation of Jadzia Dax there is, and our main man Worf has joined the cast! Get your tissues ready cuz this season isn't pulling punches.

The writers room really took a hit from the god of prophecy this season. Between predicting the problems with inappropriate AI use and the political state of America in 2024 via-a-vis the Bell Riots, it's a little weird. We also get the introduction of the iconic triple threat that is Jeffrey Combs tenure on Deep Space Nine. All that and more as we dive into another season of Star Trek!

Our deepest apologies to those who don't care about 2000's pop and hip hop. We got a *little bit* side tracked after discovering Rat doesn't know the icon that is Ciara. As for Deep Space Nine, though! We have an inconceivable amount of cameos, some sweet, sweet Garashir romance, and the great O'Brien Must Suffer trilogy.

Today's modern recommendation is Bottoms (2023).

It's time for STAR TREK! From the depths of the Gamma Quadrant to a weird amount of Pokemon and Homestuck references, we're getting into the early days of Deep Space Nine. They've got everything; Q, politics, family values, bisexuality, buckets, and... ear touching. A lot of ear touching. Unfortunately, this time an ear isn't just an ear.

Today's modern recommendation is Yellowjackets.
