S4E35 - The Hosts of Daxmas Past

S3E25: Facets; S3E26: The Adversary; Season Wrap-up

Episode Notes

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.

S4E34 - All Vulcans are Bitches

S3E24: Shakaar

Episode Notes

It's still a provisional government?! A lot happens in this episode to move the Bajor plot forward. Disability and injury in storytelling. 20th century comparisons. Kai Winn is charismatic, unfortunately.

S4E33 - USS Hōkūleʻa

S3E22: Explorers; S3E23: Family Business

Episode Notes

Jude bucks for a promotion again (they all forgot he got one at the beginning of season 2).

Explorers: Sisko advances to "project sailboat in the garage" dad status.

S4E32 - Cardassian Deep Throat

S3E20: Improbable Cause; S3E21: The Die is Cast

Episode Notes

Improbable Cause: Directed by Avery Brooks! It's weird how major diplomatic incidents frequently get explained away by "they're Romulan". [GENERIC CAVE SET]. This episode is like "Coming of Shadows" from DS9. Garak is so perfectly disinterested in Julius Caesar.

S4E31 - Super Saiyan Avery Brooks

S3E19: Through the Looking Glass

Episode Notes

Mirror Kurzon was definitely into it. Maybe the reason the Mirror Universe is so stupid is because the blood goes down to your junk. Cross-dimensional STIs. Mirror Garak is a pathetic little meow-meow. Sisko is a good action commander.

S4E30 - O'Brien gets Harry Kimmed

S3E17: Visionary; S3E18: Distant Voices

Episode Notes

Visionary: O'Brien Suffers Level--Harry Kim. Klingons, Romulans, and weird radiation, oh my. Klingon spies. Romulans went down a different 4x tech tree. Jude makes a prediction about Morn. O'Brien is so good because he follows regulations and makes good decisions.

S4E29 - Redwall-ass Prophecy

S3E15: Destiny; S3E16: Prophet Motive

Episode Notes

Destiny: We stuff each other in lockers. No vole fights. Sisko's struggles with the role of Emissary. The Stressed Cardassian, the Horny Cardassian, and the Angry Cardassian. We like Galora better than Lochley. Dax has been allll over.

S4E27 - Past Oof

S3E11 and 12 Past Tense part 1 and 2

Episode Notes

Jude is not well during the first half of this episode so it's a little rough. Also, Jude and Justen have some Dune Thoughts. Worm.

Past Tense Part 1: This meeting could have been an email. 2024??

S4E26 - Lwaxana's Google Alerts

S3E9: Defiant; S3E10: Fascination

Episode Notes

Defiant: You know this is a utopia when the doctor can order vacations. Dax clearly thinks that Kira banged Riker. Because Dax also clearly banged Riker. You know something's wrong when someone is mean to O'Brien. Villainous Goatee!
