    For the Uniform

    I've had an axe to grind with this overrated episode for a long time. I thought a long, hard look at recent news had finally crystallized that, but maybe not. It's about stuff.

    Season Two Supplemental

    Ignore what I say in the supplemental; it's our second season but Deep Space Nine's first.  We talk a little bit about this season past, the future of characters and stories, and how likeable flawed characters have to be. The future of Nine Deeps of Space is currently undecided, but regular episodes of The Beige and The Bold are starting today over there. https://anchor.fm/tbntb

    In the Hands of the Prophets

    We talk about a lot of stuff in this one. I think it's a good episode for the overarching story. It underutilizes Keiko a bit. I just don't think it or we know what it's really about. Better than I remember, but not really 'good.' Nine Deeps of Space is a Trekalong podcast that lets you watch Deep Space Nine along with us on Netflix. It updates every Sunday night at 10 PM CST. NDoS alternates with its partner series, The Beige and The Bold, which is about Star Trek: The Next Generation.

    Duet

    We talk about...war crimes mostly. We crack jokes. About the war crimes, now that I think about it. It sounds bad, but you're going to laugh at those war crimes jokes. It's also worse than "Progress." "Progress" had the moral complexity and messiness that becomes a strength of Deep Space Nine. Despite the twists and turns and great acting, "Duet" has the clean ending of an episodic TV show. It's--and secure your monocles--way closer to Star Trek: The Next Generation's wheelhouse than Deep Space Nine's. The movie I was thinking about was 2016's Denial, which dramatized the events of the Irving v Penguin Books Ltd case.

    Dramatis Personae

    It's not just a contagious, telepathic energy field; it's a contagious, telepathic energy field that's good at improv. It puts the fiction in science fiction. No one is good at improv (except for Star Trek: The Improvised Generation). Odo lords his lack of frail, human feet over us, Kira makes a seduction attempt with martial law, and Commander Sisko buys a 3D printer. It's a good one, actually. Also, Dax would have been great in Odo's place here, but what about Kira? O'Brien? Bashir?! Odo was probably the best choice, but it's such a one versus many episode that it's fun to think about.

    The Forsaken

    The B-Plot outshines the A-Plot again as we study Odo, Lwaxana Troi, and what it is to need other people. That Babylon 5 episode came out a year after this one, but it's still way better. Babylon 5 lacks a lot of DS9's subtlety and nuance, but it f***s around far less.  I can't find a good source for the charges of plagiarism, so here's the highest honor I can confer on this conflict: a grudge-match.com fight from the dawn of the internet: http://www.grudge-match.com/History/ds9-babylon5.shtml Nine Deeps of Space is a Trekalong podcast that lets you watch Deep Space Nine along with us on Netflix.

    If Wishes Were Horses

    To quote a great man, "Nothing good happened here today! None was entertained, nothing was achieved, and no child's life was saved. Everything's going to go on as normal and babies are sometimes going to die and no one f*****g cares!" "If Wishes Were Horses" happened and it only happens again when you want it to.

    Progress

    "Are some main characters a little more main characters than others?" Is a big question, and one I cannot answer in season one. We will have to see together, friends. I usually ask a question here to prompt engagement, but this isn't really a questiony episode. It's what Game of Thrones thinks its being when it's showing us boobs and gore; a survey of hard realities seen through the eyes of our main characters. 'nuff said.
