S4E5 - The Emily Post of Starfleet

DS9 S1 E10: Move Along Home; DS9 S1 E11: The Nagus

Episode Notes

Spoiler warning: Headphones moment from 46:10 to 47:53, and from 1:00:21 to 1:00:55

Move Along Home: Game time! Also, yes, Nog should probably not be teaching sex ed to a humon. What Trek character would be a good sex educator? Quark makes Odo blow on the dice, the horniest thing we've seen so far. Klon Peags? Dax hits her stride. Does Starfleet Academy turn you into a lunatic?

The Nagus: Porny Giggles. Ferengi corpse NFTs. Side note: how were NFTs not a Ferengi b-plot? O'Brien Suffers level 5.5. Jake is teaching Nog to read? heart-eyes. Ferengi culture is built on middle managers... They should be gross, but they escape it by being ridiculous.

S3E9 - These are actually orbs

Issue 17: Total Party Kill; Issue 18: Lines and Veils

Episode Notes

TPK: The funniest possible Lovecraft explanation--and the only master who appears to be aware of his outside self. Personal horror is to evoke interesting responses, not traumatize the audience. BabPod lore!

Lines and Veils: Wow did Sol get screwed. The Grandmaster gives Mysterio vibes. The d20's origin mirrors the Fair Gold. Different grades of disaster queers.

S4E4 - Kira-Sisko Bureaucratic Tag-Team

S1E08 Dax; S1E09 The Passenger

Episode Notes

Jude would take a bad Trek theme over Picard's theme, but hates ENT. There's some time travel in this episode because we had to re-record it nearly a season later.

Dax: Dax and... Bashir? are in charge of Engineering? How wide is the Trill definition of "you"? Odo works better as a private detective than as an officer of the "law". Bashir is just immature, not full fedora. Is Garak a power bottom? Maybe, but Julian is not a top. Imagine being 200 and being around a hyperactive puppy dog 20 year old. The Dax trans narrative was not explicitly intended but it's amazing how directly it hit the mark. O'Brien Suffers level: Raktajino.

The Passenger: Odo, you must take this intern. No one could have seen this twist. This is a pretty beige episode. It seems too early in a series to do the "this character is acting out of character" trope.

We are joined by Velvet Dragon! Velvet is a trans lesbian and literal actual dragon. Find her on twitter and bluesky @VelvetTheDragon and on the Clever Corvids Podcasting Network.

S3E8 - Well in real life, a dragon...

Issue 15: PVP; Issue 16: THAC0

Episode Notes

Justen tells a Games Workshop story.

PVP: Interesting choices. Silmarillion reference. No one noticed that Sol got bamboozled. Sol would have loved Nobilis. Vampire might have fixed a lot of this group's issues. Sorry Grant. RIP Dour.

THAC0: We're on a boat! Howard Phillip Lovecraft is here. Jude would very much like Gygax not to make an appearance. Call of Cthulhu is not the kind of game where you get attached to your character. Sooner or later we're all spaces.

S4E3 - Correct Horse Battery Staple

S01E05: Babel; S01E06: Captive Pursuit; S01E07: Q-Less

Episode Notes

Babel: O'Brien Must Suffer level Orange. Ominous Blinking Device time! Jude had severe empathy-pain for O'Brien. Sisko knows that Kira will always blame Cardassians first. Quark arguing he's an essential service is so 2023. It's very strange to have a Star Trek show that has currency.

Captive Pursuit: Oh the 1990s, when being a sexual predator was a fun quirky character flaw and not a straight up bad thing... The Worst Predators make an appearance. The Ferengi are a "complex species", aka kinda gross. Odo gets Worfed a few times. The Bucket! It's a Good O'Brien episode.

Q-Less: O'Brien Must Suffer again. Oh look, two of Picard's exes in one episode, must be sweeps week. Q is more fun when he's trying to do something interesting, rather than just getting back with HIS ex. You get real real bored when you're a god. Sisko is the most straight (but not narrow) captain. Bashir didn't show up to the game session.

S3E7 - Simulationist Horseshit

Issue 13: Little Wars, Issue 14: Dual Wield

Little Wars: 20+20. Complicated verb tenses. The origins of the Fair. H.G. Wells is a Prick. The Masters of DIE. Dual Wield: If your kids grew up any time after the 1990s and get Jumanji'd, it's not your fault. According to tiktok dice are a little easier to make than this. If a Protagonist's mom is Bad News, what do you do?

S4E2 - Not a Metaphor at All

S1E03: Past Prologue; S1E04: A Man Alone

Episode Notes

Past Prologue: This episode really gets going as the first post-pilot plot. Bashir is an amazingly dumb twink. Sisco's default setting is "Fuck the Cardassians". Jude loves a sexy lizard.

A Man Alone: A lot of info about writers rooms and credits, sorry. Keiko/Miles trouble! "Take time to be comfortable with your discomfort"--Star Trek repeats Trans Rights. Law vs Justice! Lynch mobs probably came from Cardassians. Poor clones.

S3E6 - Spaghetti Noodle Time Nonsense

Issue 11: Risk, Issue 12: Hidden Role

Risk: Chuck's luck only stretches so far. The daughter reveal is a hammer blow. Neither Justen nor Jude should play poker. Every page in DIE is a piece of art. The joy that comes from a party adopting an NPC.  RIP Fordi la George.

Hidden Role: It's not like Molly can die worse. Human Centipede Orobouros. The False Friend is quite a God.

S4E1 - Orb (Sarcastic Air Quotes)

S1E01-02: Emissary

Episode Notes

Remember Wolf 359? Benjamin Sisko sure does! We meet all the oddballs and non-Federation characters (purportedly to get around various Roddenberry rules). Jude contemplates the non-orb-shaped-orb. Wormhole shenanigans! Religion! Ear Stuff! Sisko is Captain Dad. Star Trek says Trans Rights. Ana loses it completely at one point. Enjoy.
