    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.

    Bad Vacations

    The Founders! The Jem'Hadar! The show's metaplot! A Camping Trip! Nog desperately wants positive role models, and just shines when Sisko praises him. The Galaxy Class analogue of Worfing. Bad Kira/Odo shipping, good Quodo shipping. Eris is not a name with positive connotations. Season 2 wrap-up!

    Jude's predictions for season three:

    A lot more DominionJake turns to writing, and more Nog plotlinesMore Garak

    S2E24: The CollaboratorS2E25: Tribunal

    O'Brien Suffers Level: Vacation/Unexpected Dental Work, use your judgement as to which is worse

    The Collaborator:An orb! Kai Winn is spectacular in making you hate her (GNU Louise Fletcher). Sisko is literally the only character who isn't a complete mess. Or maybe everyone in Bajoran politics are so thick that Winn's subterfuges are Succession-tier; Jude has a theory. The problems with prophecies.

    Tribunal: Directed by Avery f'ing Brooks. Odo has a rare moment of high empathic quotient. Everything hinges on a molar. Miles knows what happens when you go on vacation. 90's Casual Racism. The logistics of sex in a runabout. Colm Meaney thirst. How did Bashir become a critical intel conduit?

    S2E22: The WireS2E23: Crossover

    The Wire:

    A painfully accurate example of addiction. Odo's back in wet-fascist mode. Bashir, just kiss him, for god's sake. Cardassians are catty bitches. Julian Bashir, ADHD Twink, and his boyfriend, Anxiety Space Lizard with PTSD.

    Crossover:

    The Mirror Universe is part of standard officer training. Kira is maybe the only person in Star Trek who does not recognize the name "Kirk". Quark's mix is switched. Garak is "Authoritarian Cutout #5". We're not sure how we feel about the pathway from "Mirror Mirror" to "Crossover" in terms of the political messages. Julian has a learning moment. Justen thinks about the Roman Empire.

    S2E20-21 The Maquis

    Justen comes by their star trek bullshit honestly.

    The Maquis

    The Maquis are the most fascinating political experiment Star Trek has ever completely whiffed. Quark out-logics a Vulcan, and Dukat is a weird little guy. Quark wants a hot alien lady to step on him, v. 200. The establishment of Dukat as Sisko's dark mirror. DS9 characters are allowed to have duality. The Federation is an HOA. Dax and Kira's weird conversation.

    We are joined by Steve! Steve lives with their partner and their adult cat son in a cave beneath Gre'thor. They often make guest appearances on Graymalkin Lane and can be found on social media @/howdyduda.

  • Episode NotesS2E18: Profit and LossS2E19: Blood Oath

    Profit and Loss: A Cardassian with two names? A Meaty Slap. It's always morally acceptable to steal from fascists UNLESS it breaks trust with your romantic partner. How in the world are there no consequences for this outright murder. Jude questions the Odo Book Club choice. Flirtation via politics and philosophy. The increasing complexity of Garak. The increasing complexity of Quark, altruistic in the most Ferengi way possible. Ferengi running around LA after the Northridge quake.

    Blood Oath: Star Trek says trans rights (the meme). The Klingon makeup change, Doyleist/Watsonian/fan. Michael Ansara's iconic voice. Jadzia the science battle maiden. The increasing complexity of Jadzia Dax. Revenge is not something the Federation teaches--good thing the Trill aren't Federation.

    For this episode we are joined by Trill specialist Velvet. Velvet is an artist, actual play podcaster, and literal actual dragon. You can find her on Twitter and Bluesky @velvetthedragon, as well as on the Clever Corvids Productions podcast network.

  • Episode Notes

    S2E15: ParadiseS2E16: Shadow PlayS2E17: Playing God

    Paradise: (CW: incest vibes discussion at one point). Shrek Energy. Dax's BDSM experience. O'Brien and Sisko's interesting comrades-in-arms relationship. Elixis would have a marble statue-head as a twitter avatar. Dax and Kira Bestie Mode.

    Shadow Play: Sisko is literally the best dad. Otherwise, a Very Horny Episode. Odo surprises Jude by being likeable. Springball has implications.

    Playing God: Cardassian Vole Hunt. Odo does not step on ants. More Trill lore, and we love it. And Terry Ferrel has absolutely found Jadzia. You're in love with a Dabo girl?

  • Episode Notes

    We promise, we get to the episodes EVENTUALLY.

    Armageddon Game: A true "O'Brien Must Suffer" episode. The triumphant return of the warcrimes airhorn. Jude makes Ninja Turtles assumptions. Don't jinx yourself in a room full of bioweapons. RIP The Ganges. These stupid aliens lost to a middle-aged mechanic and "the most fuckable twink in the Alpha quadrant". Does Sisko enjoy making O'Brien Suffer a bit? Nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Hairstyling, just fyi.

    Whispers: Another O'Brien Must Suffer episode, in a new twist! Miles may be the best character for this particular plot. The main plot of the episode is "bad vibes". Children are goblins. Miles drinks a LOT of coffee. Or his replicant does. Or something.

    S2E11: RivalsS2E12: The Alternate

    Rivals: Humperdink! Multiple widows. Bashir turns the twink meter up to 12. O'Brien suffers level: old sports injury. Ketchup shenanigans. Bajoran Orphans Fund! Spinning neutrinos and gambling... And the solution is "explode them". Ma Kent is a Nigerian Prince Scam. Bashir has "grown" since season one. Jude makes a prediction about Bashir/O'Brien. "I didn't beg you, I blackmailed you." New rule of acquisition!

    The Alternate: Plegg invented pornographic DVDs. Odo's "dad" visits, accompanied by PATERNALISM. No, I didn't like the science because I was the science. This is a dad-heavy episode.

  • Episode Notes

    Second Sight: Everyone is so supportive of Sisko getting back out there. They want Captain Dad to be happy. The fact that the anniversary of Wolf 359 goes by without notice tells you when this show was. Nog Sex Ed again. The sub-genre of one-episode Trek romances.

    Sanctuary: Kira's no-good-very-bad-day. We're not big fans of this episode or the portrayal of the aliens. The plan is really not good but that doesn't stop everyone from blaming Kira and Bajor for some reason. We use video game logic to give a better explanation. Paramount, hire Justen to write some novels. Quark is right.

    Jude can't do IKEA. Or social situations.

    Rules of Acquisition: Out of all the Starfleet captains, Sisko gets Ferengi. THIS is how The Dominion is introduced? This is accidentally a screwball comedy. The Ferengi work better in this show because they get to breathe. And they're all bottoms.

    Necessary Evil: A plasma storm is a metaphor for a station and its inhabitants. We're doing NOIR. Odo/Quark/Kira backstory! Bajoran fashion. Gul Dukat never stops vamping. Rom Skills!

  • Episode Notes

    Invasive Procedures: The senior staff--and Quark. The lived experiences of Trill washouts. Jude has questions about Trill, and so do the rest of us. Bashir shows some skills. B5 crossover via stunt doubling! What makes Sisko great?

    Cardassians: Secret Agent Garak! Dukat and Garak have a... history. Sisko always looks good. Jude breaks the plot accidentally. Dukat never has an ounce of doubt. Keiko's continual lack of cross-cultural sensitivity. O'Brien never does what you expect a stock character to do. This episode really makes it clear how different DS9 is from all other Trek.

  • Episode Notes

    Yes, it's a three-parter, but all three are GREAT. Welcome to season 2 of DS9.

    The Homecoming: Call your factions one thing and just roll with it. Every character choice for O'Brien is "working class hero". Gul Dukat's statement is basically "we're sorry we got caught." Wait, is this a B5 episode?

    The Circle: Kira's hunka hunka monk. The Bajoran monasteries must constantly be ordering 55 gallon tubs of baja blast lube. "Here is our traditional garb, the banana hammock". Odo deputizes Quark? Nothing says Bajoran independence like Cardassian torture.

    The Siege: Nasty fascist republican sex. Benjamin "Not on my watch, motherfuckers" Sisko isn't having the Federation's limp-dick hands-off approach. Nog and Jake are best boys. Trill are psychic-type and thus weak to bug type. Julian is dramatic. Jadzia gets even more depth. Odo and Quark are the two most married characters in Star Trek.

    O'Brien Suffers level: Ride or die for Kira.

    rejected titles for this episode:

  • Episode Notes

    CW: Discussion of actual not-amusing war crimes, and religious extremism.

    Jude gets a promotion!

    Duet: People with the appelation "The Butcher of..." are always delightful people. This episode is packed with powerful performances, and the actors are up to the task of lifting this very heavy material. Bajor gets a lot of complexity that other species do not.

    In the Hands of the Prophets: Space Karen is back! Bajoran/Federation relations take a hit over education, but to be fair it's hard to teach about religious practices when the deities do in fact appear to exist. Jude twigged to Neela's nature immediately because O'Brien isn't supposed to be a sex symbol. Sisko Dad Mode on religions is an important and well written/acted one.

  • Episode Notes

    Jude bucks for a promotion. Justen is sleepy.

    The Forsaken: Wait, what is that music? It's... it can't be. It's Lwaxana Troi! The most DTF character in Star Trek. The Lwaxana/Odo pairing is spectacular. "The thin beige line between order and chaos" nearly killed Jude. Sisko is in dad mode all day. Has Odo ever had "the talk"? Lots of great one-liners this episode.
    O'Brien Suffers Level: a new puppy.

    Dramatis Personae: Alien fuckery! A new clock for Sisko! Nothing else in this episode matters in the least bit. At least the actors had fun. O'Brien Suffers Level: the audience suffers worse.

  • Episode Notes

    The Storyteller: Get in the minivan, Bashir! Horny teens should not be in charge of negotiations. O No My Bukkit. DS9 learned important lessons from TNG in terms of how to treat teenage characters--specifically, let them be cringe and celebrate it. Ferengi kinks. Justen strays into blasphemy. O'Brien Suffers Level: Dal'Rok

    Progress: Let's talk about eminent domain. What the hell do self-sealing stem bolts do? Invisible seaming techniques. The long-term payoffs of this episode should have been better than they were. Jake gets a lesson in profit. Kira gets a little radicalized.

    If Wishes Were Horses: Turns out that O'Brien CAN tell a good story. Bashir's fantasy is hella problematic, because we all know he's a bottom. Random space phenomenon that appears once and never returns, yaaaay. O'Brien Suffers Level: Rumplestiltskin?

    Also: Baseball.

  • Episode Notes

    Vortex: A... changeling? Odo--authoritarian, utilitarian, or just childfree? Good old ass-forehead trek aliens. Klingon shift! Jude trips over the plot from season 4-7.

    Battle Lines: Kira's "secret" Cardassian file. Artificial purgatories are kinda shitty. The procedural plot is REAL BAD, the plot-plot is kinda hard to watch. Killing off the space-pope after two appearances?

    O'Brien Suffers level: OchreRunabout destruction count: 1
