STRIKE! Quark's bar workers unionize. Unfortunately, this is against Ferengi law, and also anathema to Cop Odo. Maybe that's why they love each other so much. Where did Rom get hold of a copy of Marx translated into Ferengi? Jude gets frustrated with the relentless flirting between Dax and Worf. Odo has been sitting on that datapadd for SO long (and how are Enterprise security reports not classified to some degree?). Jude was physically wounded by this episode. What is the writer-room origin of the Ferengi? The immeasurable depths of Quark. Labor in the 24th century.
For this episode we were delighted to be joined by Aaron (Zathras)'s friend Sabiha Basrai! Sabiha Basrai is a community organizer, educator, and researcher. You can find her work at Basrai.org. She is also co-owner of the worker-owned, unionized shop Design Action Collective.

Some very timely holiday content.
Sons of Mogh: Time for a ritual killing! Worf and Dax. Worf was cucking Ricker. Dax is basically a Klingon for the purposes of this show. Murdering family members is a bridge too far. Klingon Operation would be really complicated. The triumphant return of the warcrimes airhorn. Jude does not like the end of this episode.
Excession: Kira always has to tell people about the occupation. Also she's not a particularly great artist. Imagine if a pope got spat out of the Bermuda triangle... We're not a huge fan of the b-plot; it stinks of 90s.

We're all 90s kids.
Crossfire: Worf and Odo bond over being neurodivergent and cops. Odo is stuffed into the third wheel. Quark is a good dude, in his own way--and possibly the only character that recognizes that Odo has actual emotions. Jude has thoughts about the cuck chair. Major Kira likes Bland Powerful Hot Boys, and Jude curls a monkey's paw.
Return to Grace: Time for another Ducat/Kira episode! Klingons refusing to fight you is deeply embarrassing. Some diversions into mechanical keyboard jokes. Justen makes a very complicated history joke. Damar is introduced.

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.

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?

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 hobbies include knitting, reading lots of fanfic, and being a huge nerd.

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.

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.
37?!

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.

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.
