    We recorded this before the election. Sorry.

    Jude gets some managerial advice.

    Home Front: At least there's another Dad in this. Cadet Nog! Sabotage! Babylon 5 I Know That Face! "Ancient Klingons slew our gods a millennia ago." Nog is part of the Sisko family now.

    Paradise Lost: Planetary Emergency! ...what is Red Squad? Lots of stuff happens here. Don't use cadets for a false flag operation, they have zero opsec. This episode represents the death of TNG's idyllic isolationism. The philosophy of Badmirals.

  • Episode Notes

    Sword of Kahless: The only evil telepaths in Star Trek. Cursed or totemic? More Klingon lore and the central conflict of Worf than we've really ever previously gotten. Yeet that artifact into space.

    Our Man Bashir: This gets pretty unhinged, you've been warned. Garak's introduction to the Bond Franchise. Bond Girl Kira? Justen rants about Baccarat. The episode that launched a thousand ships. It's great to see Siddig be something other than Doctor Dweeb. Are holonovels this century's indie game scene?

  • Episode Notes

    Jude gets busted down to acting ensign due to an HR error.

    Starship Down: Justen goes feral. The Ferengi are like a bad cell phone company. Sloppy-style concussy. Worf learns a management lesson from O'Brien, and pulls a TNG move. Quark and Hanok are great, and it's nice to see Quark succeeding.

    Little Green Men: Klingon and Ferengi chew toys. Quark leaves MORN in charge of the bar. 1947 America is not the best time to bloop into existence... nukes blocking the universal translators??? Odo stowed away to bust and/or be with his boyfriend. TOS levels of camp.

    Our guest tonight is James! James is a former Floridian who ran off to the wilds of Australia to do exciting cattle and sheep science for the Australian government. His work combines statistics and biochemistry to better understand how we can recycle food waste and crop leftovers as food for livestock, and is part of the team behind the CLEM decision support software for Australian ranchers. His hobbies include knitting, reading lots of fanfic, and being a huge nerd.

  • Episode Notes

    Indiscretion: A bottle episode with Dukat and Kira? Hilarity ensues. Dukat drops the mask a bit. Kira is surprised by well-read Dukat, and has to deal with Cardassians as something other than the oppressor. Foreign-object-in-butt jokes are funny. The... Breen? Sisko biffs it. Dax channels Curzon for a bit.

    Rejoined: Jadzia has never let Dax's baggage interfere in her job, right? right? Okay, how many gay awakenings came from this episode. The Ferengi apparently don't have close-up magic? Non-sex-related ear stuff. Worf is the anti-vibes and we love him for that.

  • Episode Notes

    The Visitor: In which we traumatize Jude. Captain Dad is the best even when temporally displaced. What else did this writer do? Oh, In the Pale Moonlight. Uh oh. The one mistake they made is getting Alexander Siddig's aging completely wrong. Some tech Trek gets right, some it gets hilariously wrong.

    Hippocratic Oath: O'Brien/Bashir besties. Ketrecel White! Cop Worf does not gel with Wet PI Odo. A lot of characters don't feel right in this episode.

  • Episode Notes

    Be ready for the longest summary in the history of the podcast...

    Jude gets a promotion! The Galaxy Class is the Worf of the Federation ships. Klingon Armadas are disruptive. Worf is also disruptive. Odo shows his affection by spying on you. Certainly nothing could go wrong with a Klingon preemptive strike... Clearly they added Worf to the cast to add a terrible father to the mix. DS9's got guns! Justen makes a comparison that hurts Jude's soul.

  • Episode Notes

    Facets: Nothing can go wrong with everyone embodying Dax's former hosts, right? Dax gives Quark an earjob just to make him be a woman. Kurzodo? Maybe this episode is more about Kurzon and Sisko's relationship? Yikes. Nog is starting on a great journey, and Rom is lovely. The benefits of a strong ensemble cast. Avery Brooks' "creepy voice". Trek episodes where familiar actors play different characters is always fun.

    The Adversary: Ben gets a promotion! Captain is the highest non-flag rank in Starfleet. We see more of the Defiant. Another infiltration plot. It's weird to not hate Eddington in this episode but we're going with it. On the other hand, Eddington is the one character who does not get weird with aliens.

    It's still a provisional government?! A lot happens in this episode to move the Bajor plot forward. Disability and injury in storytelling. 20th century comparisons. Kai Winn is charismatic, unfortunately.

  • Episode Notes

    Jude bucks for a promotion again (they all forgot he got one at the beginning of season 2).

    Explorers: Sisko advances to "project sailboat in the garage" dad status. Oh yeah, Dax was a dad at one point. Bashir gets lovingly teased by roughly half the principal cast. What a great Bashir and O'Brien scene. Jake's career plans, and Jake's opinions of his dad. The question of maintaining lab cleanliness.

    Family Business: Women earning profit? Time to go to Ferenginar and deal with Moogie. So many river names, so many runabouts blown up. Jake's matchmaking skills. Captain Dad. Ferengi are the anti-hobbits.

  • Episode Notes

    Improbable Cause: Directed by Avery Brooks! It's weird how major diplomatic incidents frequently get explained away by "they're Romulan". [GENERIC CAVE SET]. This episode is like "Coming of Shadows" from DS9. Garak is so perfectly disinterested in Julius Caesar. Jude admits he doesn't hate Odo any more. The principles of not over-using a looming threat. You know Garak's not lying when he actually says he doesn't know.

    The Die is Cast:That fucker Eddington. Honestly, the Dominion's response to this incident seems thoroughly justifiable under the rules of war. Garak and Odo share a unique exile bond. Is the comparison between Wolf 359 and this engagement apt? Sometimes badmirals never reappear.

    We are joined once again by noted Wolf 359 historian Andy! Andy is a life long fan of Sci-fi in all of its forms and creator and co-writers of the Wolf 359 Project, an oral history of the Battle of Wolf 359. He also hosts his own podcast ‘The Great Derelict’ where he talks about anything and everything to do with Sci-Fi.

  • Episode Notes

    Mirror Kurzon was definitely into it. Maybe the reason the Mirror Universe is so stupid is because the blood goes down to your junk. Cross-dimensional STIs. Mirror Garak is a pathetic little meow-meow. Sisko is a good action commander. Mirror Universe episodes are a chaotic, horny delight.

    Visionary: O'Brien Suffers Level--Harry Kim. Klingons, Romulans, and weird radiation, oh my. Klingon spies. Romulans went down a different 4x tech tree. Jude makes a prediction about Morn. O'Brien is so good because he follows regulations and makes good decisions.

    Distant Voices: Bashir is turning 30! Every Trek series needs a dream sequence working through trauma. The problems with age makeup.

  • Episode Notes

    Destiny: We stuff each other in lockers. No vole fights. Sisko's struggles with the role of Emissary. The Stressed Cardassian, the Horny Cardassian, and the Angry Cardassian. We like Galora better than Lochley. Dax has been allll over.

    O'Brien Suffers Level--propositioned in a Jeffries Tube.

    Prophet Motive: Directed by Odo. Jude hates Umak. A revised Rules of Acquisition? Live troll handjobs on television. Jude mixes comedic metaphors. Derailed by the Emmys. We all need a Dax in our lives. The Wormhole Aliens heard about capitalism and decided "well, we need to fix that". And then they realized it would mean visitors, and said "well actually never mind."

  • Episode Notes

    Jude is Calvin's Dad.

    Life Support:

    Odo resolves any problem via incarceration, including friendships. Sisko continues to be Good Dad. The Ferengi misogyny is real bad, and the Nog plot is only redeemed by knowing what it is going to be set in contrast with. Bashir is stuck between a rock and a hard Kai.

    Heart of Stone:

    The Cave Set returns. Odo is suspicious of Nerodo shipping. Odo's wet fascist sisterwife. The start of a very important plotline, which only works because Sisko understands Ferengi so well. Vilix'pran! Maybe the A plot is there to give the B plot more air.

  • Episode Notes

    Jude is not well during the first half of this episode so it's a little rough. Also, Jude and Justen have some Dune Thoughts. Worm.

    Past Tense Part 1: This meeting could have been an email. 2024?? Chroniton plot armor. 2024 looks are just rancid 90s looks. Why is Dax so much better than Sisko and Bashir at committing identity fraud? How would YOU cope with getting thrown 350 years into the past? Some Captain chat. Some political chat about how ripped-from-reality this plot is.

    Past Tense Part 2: Previously on BabPod, some timeywimey stuff. It's scarily appropriate that SF is the setting for this episode. Jude feels old because Ana and Justen don't know Airheads. Kira's not great at spycraft. We have lots of thoughts, and not just about millennials.

  • Episode Notes

    Defiant: You know this is a utopia when the doctor can order vacations. Dax clearly thinks that Kira banged Riker. Because Dax also clearly banged Riker. You know something's wrong when someone is mean to O'Brien. Villainous Goatee! What happens if you put aluminum foil in the replicator? Kira being the A-plot main character is very pre-2001. Using the Maqis and the Bajoran rebellion as examples of morally grey terrorism is not ideal. Reading Enterprise logs must be sanity-wrecking.

    Fascination: DS9 does a sex farce. Bashir has significant leeway to diagnose colleagues as "assholes". Lwaxana Troi may be the galaxy's worst seatmate, but it is pretty fun to see her making Odo uncomfortable. What ARE jumja sticks? Oh hey, Xanthi fever. Sisko knows something's wrong when people want to cancel dinner. Jake has rizz. Lwaxana's Google Alerts include Odo, Captain Picard, and sex festivals. On the other hand, the O'Briens' relationship plot feels really grounded and realistic.

  • Episode Notes

    Civil Defense: Who gave Garak root access? Good Quodo content. Redshirt vape. Dukat hoist by his own petard. Garak and Dukat being petty bitches to each other. A good antagonist is a delightful thing. Flirting by threats of mass deaths. Elevating the stakes.

    Meridian: I guess the writers just watched Brigadoon? O'Brien suffers level: Third Wheel. Surprisingly, the Dax plotline is NOT the horniest.

  • Episode Notes

    S3E5: Second SkinS3E6: The Abandoned

    Second Skin:Sisko bullies Garak. Cardassians seem to have very good cosmetic surgery for a lizard species. The Cardassian Sleeper Agent program is weird. Cardassians use unlabeled data crystals. Cardassia has much more depth to it than normal "enemy" cultures, or even most non-Earth cultures.

    The Abandoned:Justen loves a hot pirate lady. Odo now has a room for his bucket. 16-20 is not an age gap that we feel great about but it's... okay for some reasons we lay out. Sisko and Miles dadding is great. The concept of the nature/nurture thing is good, but the end result strays real close to "crack baby". The fact that Odo is willing to throw his entire life away to save one orphan is great, and it's run over by the actual plot.

  • Episode Notes

    S3E3: House of QuarkS3E4: Equilibrium

    House of Quark:

    Possibly the most BabPod episode in the history of Star Trek. It's not Miles and Keiko's fault that they were written in the 90s; it's otherwise a great example of a real marriage. Gowron caught the car and is now suffering. Klingon-Federation Enemies to Lovers Arc. We are in the Ronald Moore era of Trek and it shows.

    Equilibrium:

    w o r m. Jude loves captains cooking for their people. The Trill situation is sketchy as fuck. A long side conversation about Star Trek books. Bashir and Dax finally feel like buddies rather than horny dork. Jude torments Justen about Bashir's underwear. Sisko treats the Prime Directive like he treats Quark.

  • Episode Notes

    Part 1:

    Exploding consoles and fake shakes? We're back! The Defiant is a real Starfleet Warship. We all like to see Quark bullied. There was only one goo bucket. Teen Odo.

    Part 2:

    Wet Racists. Never exclude Romulans, they exclude you. You need friends to reality-check you when you want to be, say, a Starfleet Admiral. Somehow Odo is the least fascist wet fascist.

    We are now a Dragonriders of Pern podcast.
