Episode Notes

S2E22: The Wire S2E23: Crossover

The Wire:

A painfully accurate example of addiction. Odo's back in wet-fascist mode. Bashir, just kiss him, for god's sake. Cardassians are catty bitches. Julian Bashir, ADHD Twink, and his boyfriend, Anxiety Space Lizard with PTSD.

Crossover:

The Mirror Universe is part of standard officer training. Kira is maybe the only person in Star Trek who does not recognize the name "Kirk". Quark's mix is switched. Garak is "Authoritarian Cutout #5". We're not sure how we feel about the pathway from "Mirror Mirror" to "Crossover" in terms of the political messages. Julian has a learning moment. Justen thinks about the Roman Empire.
