S4E79 - Catharsis vs. Disappointment

S06E25: The Sound of Her Voice; S06E26: Tears of the Prophets

Episode Notes

Yes we skipped the Quark forcefemm one.

The Sound of Her Voice:

Odo and Quark flirtation. Everyone's in a bad mood. Establishing communications with the stranded officer! Jude is suspicious. Cross-species relationship issues. The engineer's trilemma. Mailbox. Lisa solves problems from beyond the grave. Quark tries to engineer a rom-com so that Odo is busy during his shady business. Quark has to filter normal emotions through the frame of Ferengi horseshit. The end is the saddest but also the least bad.

Tears of the Prophets:

Turning tides of war. The moment you know things are going to go wrong. The bitch is back! Dukat has become an Indiana Jones villain. God stink. Prophecy vs. directive vs Starfleet policy. Dukat meets a Pah Wraith. Dax is saved, but Jadzia is not. We stan Terry Ferrell. If it weren't for the plot we hate, this would be a very good space battle storytelling episode.

S4E80 - Bag of Clam Foley

S07E01: Image in the Sand; S07E02: Signs and Symbols

Episode Notes

Season seven! Jude does some predictions. Justen coins a new word.

Image in the Sand: Three plotlines organized by direness. Kira has been promoted to Colonel!Discussion of ranks. A Pah Wraith cult. It's the 90s, armbands = evil. A Romulan? on OUR station? Damarr is now just drinking in the Fuhrer-bunker. Get used to the evil Dominion command center. Romulans have chronic backstabber syndrome. The return of the warcrimes airhorn. Worf isn't doing so well. He believes that Jadzia did not enter Sto Vo Kor, and because the Defiant is on escort duty he doesn't have the chance to win a great battle. Oh look, a (suicidal) solution! Sisko is stewing. Oh look, a prophecy! Ben's mom... was not his mom? A new ORB. Jake annihilates a pah wraith cultist with a bag of clams. ...Dax?

Shadows and Symbols: Turns out that Ezri was the only Trill on the ship when worm Dax needed emergency joining. We have to reiterate: cutting your palm is really stupid. Kira's standoff with the Romulans. The quest for the orb mommy. A questionable plan. Damarr, do not bring a sex worker to the Fuhrer bunker. The evilest wine mom. Noodle incident. Desert hunt. The return of Benny Russell. A new vision from the Prophets. Kira solves the Cuban Missile Crisis by saying "I have God on my side."

Way too many rejected titles this week.

S4E81 - This is now a sports podcast

S07E03: Afterimage; S07E04: Take Me Out to the Holosuite

Episode Notes

Afterimage: We have to get through this to get to the fun sports one, but it's a good Ezri episode. Jude gets sniped by the word Destiny, for some odd reason. Garak has just a tad of PTSD going on. Bashir and Quark call dibs (gross). Ezri gets a promotion, and then also is put in charge of the crew's mental health, so... yay?

Take Me Out to the Holosuite: Vulcans do shore leave by being racist at humans. Worf is especially unhinged. Chief O'Brien's rotator cuff. Team unity. Goo umpire. Ben's got a chip on his shoulder. Sorry, Justen, I'm not finding the Federation anthem. There's a Ferengi who is good at baseball, and it's not who you expect.

S4E82 - Six Seven Joke (sigh)

S07E05: Chrysalis; S07E06: Treachery, Faith, and the Great River

Episode Notes

Chrysalis

Bashir's genebros are back! Bashir strays super close to a Stephen Franklin Memorial Medical Award. Jack is That Fucking Guy.

Treachery, Faith, and the Great River

This episode definitely shows just how many writers were involved in it. Weyoun wants to defect? Counting the Weyouns taking two hands now. Jude takes 10 minutes to talk through the A-Plot only to drop some Ferengi Nonsense on us. Nog brings Ferengi talents to his Starfleet work. Nog has faith in Adam Smith.

S4E83 - "For me, it was a povjaj"

S07E07: Once More unto the Breach; S07E08: The Siege of AR558

Episode Notes

We take an Odyssey getting to the first episode, sorry. Zathras is a zathras of constant sorrow.

Once More into the Breach:

Holosuite Alamo... (listen to Lions Led by Donkeys to get the real story). Aging Klingons. DS9 takes the time to dig deep on some species. Worf understands the words but not the meaning.

The Siege of AR558

Sisko, Ezri, Bashir, Nog, and Quark. Bill Mumie! Humans, the most dangerous species. Quark's tender side. The butcher's bill.

S4E84 - Empok "Jonestown" Nor

S07E09: Covenant; S07E10: It's Only a Paper Moon

Episode Notes

S07E09: Covenant

S07E10: It's Only a Paper Moon

Justen talks about Hadestown for a surprising amount of time.

Covenant:

Odo is very co-dependent. It's always a weird time at Empok Nor. It's easy to recognize Pah Wraith cultists. Of course it's goddamn Dukat. Dukat is a freshman in philosophy 101. A commune, huh? Two types of cults. Kira hits Dukat between the eyes. Dukat might... actually believe his own spoonshit? This show earned the weird. Justen loses it.

It's Only a Paper Moon:

Nog is returning home finally! Nog has MASSIVE ptsd. Nog moves in with Vic. The nightclub owner is a surprisingly good therapist. And also seems to have more control over his own program than most holos.
