    DS9 s2e25 “Tribunal”

    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”

    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

    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”

    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]

    • 2 hr 12 min
    DS9 s2e21 “The Maquis, Part II”

    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]

    • 1 hr 59 min
    DS9 s2e20 “The Maquis, Part I”

    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]

Best Star Trek pod in this universe!

Looking for the perfect Star Trek pod? Look no further than this entertaining podcast! Covering TNG and now DS9. “Secunda!!!” Will be coming out of your mouth with small or big victories in life. Hearing “WEEEEEEEE” from Matt will make you smile. Understanding what a Trill is, will be discussed in greater depth than you thought possible. I love James Bonding with Matt and Matt. It’s what got me here, and I couldn’t be happier. They also cover the other Star Trek shows like Voyager and enterprise and more .

Better than you expect

These guys are always hilarious. They give you want you want and so much more. If you have the time, they will kill it. Be kind and be well

Simply the Best

I can’t believe I’m only finding this podcast now. I watched TNG when it was on network TV and I’ve been fondly revisiting the series. Your podcast brings me so much joy. I’m all the way back in season 2 and find myself laughing frequently on the ridiculous banter and the jokes. When I used to watch the show with my Dad, we would riff on the show and hearing you do this on every episode makes me remember him fondly. I see that you’ve gotten into Deep Space 9 now and I look forward to making it to that point. Keep up the good work!
