DS9 s2e25 “Tribunal”
DS9 s2e25 “Tribunal” Matt obsesses over an apparent time traveler from the 1970s, and Andy enjoys a cavalcade of funny characters in this exploration of the Cardassian legal system. Remember folks, winning isn’t everything! As this podcast proves.

DS9 s2e24 “The Collaborator”
Is this episode a nuanced tale of political intrigue or b-b-b-boring? Or both? Andy sings the praises of Louise Fletcher’s villain who makes Nurse Ratched seem palatable, the boys debate Vedek Bareil’s pecs.

DS9 s2e23 “Crossover” - a semi funny Star Trek podcast currently about TV's Deep Space Nine
It's a trip back to Mirror Town, and one of our hosts loves it and one hates it! But will they be replaced by a reverse version of themselves by the end? Also: what does it take to kill a goo man?
[Episode discussion begins 1:05ish] -
DS9 s2e22 “The Wire”
A tour de force from recurring character Garak in bizarrely play-like long scenes hooks Andy and Matt, as Mr. Fasc-tastic (Mr. Fascistastic? Mr. Fascistic?) Odo checks the cameras he's hidden all around DS9.
[Episode discussion begins around 58:00, takes a Letterman detour, then actually begins at 1:06ish] -
DS9 s2e21 “The Maquis, Part II”
The second part of this Maquis de Sade-centric two-parter, one of the few Treks to follow the possible Best of Both Worlds/Godfather II template of 2 being better than 1. To Andy's shock, Odo show the Mr. Fantastic powers he always assumed he was hiding, and Dukat starts to live up to his (future) legend.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:00ish] -
DS9 s2e20 “The Maquis, Part I”
Is Bernie Casey a badmiral or a badactor? Or neither? And Dax is dating a Ferengi offscreen - is it Quark, who we are led to believe is making a turn from creep to charmer? Meanwhile, Matt has HAD it with the Maquis. Even though this is their first episode.
[Episode discussion start 1:08ish]
Customer Reviews
New listener
I’ve started listening and I am loving it! These guys are a veritable font of knowledge not just for Star Trek but for tv production as well. Highly recommend
*Admirals club door swoosh*
Finally stumbled out of the presidents lounge into the admirals club and to my horror, found yesterdays shrimp in here
Future listener ahoy
Hey guys, just found your podcast in 2022! Back to back listening for me. Finally made it to season three! Really enjoying the reviews from a writers perspective. And looking forward to hearing the social commentary on world events as the podcast goes on. Got me watching the Goldbergs now and even considering listening to James Bonding!
P.S. If this review gets read out in the Admirals Club (if it’s still going in season seven) I’d imagine it would feel the same as Marty McFly receiving a letter from Doc from 1885 in Back To The Future.
