S4E07: Starship Down; S4E08: Little Green Men
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.
S4E10: Sword of Kahless; S4E11: Our Man Bashir
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.
S4E11: Home Front S4E12: Paradise Lost
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!
S4E13: Crossfire S4E14: Return to Grace
We're all 90s kids.
Crossfire: Worf and Odo bond over being neurodivergent and cops. Odo is stuffed into the third wheel.
S4E15: Sons of Mogh; S4E17: Excession (we're coming back to Bar Association)
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.
S04E16: Bar Association
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?
S4E20: Shattered Mirror; S4E21: The Muse
As a holiday treat to ourselves, we are going a bit out of order and temporarily skipping two warcrimes (airhorn) episodes. We'll come back, don't worry!
Shattered Mirror: Time for some mirror universe shenanigans! Mom?!
S4E18: Rules of Engagement S4E19: Hard Time
CW: Self-Harm
Rules of Engagement: Watch this episode, it's a really good Star Trek Legal Drama. The Klingons want to extradite Worf for... murder? What is Worf's holosuite history?
S4E22: For the Cause; S4E23: To the Death
Instead of a hard-hitting question we dive into food porn for a bit.
For the Cause: What are industrial replicators? Uh oh, Ben. This is point where the Maquis jump the shark. Cardassian saunas.
S4E24: The Quickening; S4E25: Body Parts
CW: Pandemic/Bioweapon
The Quickening: The most annoying Quark has been, and the most angry Worf has been, so far. Kira, Bashir, and Dax road trip time! Bashir grapples with Big Emotions.
