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?!
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
S4E05: Indiscretion S4E06: Rejoined
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?
S4E03: The Visitor; S4E04: Hippocratic Oath
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.
S4E01-02: The Way of the Warrior
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.
