DS9+17: 111: The Nagus
Wow, an episode all about Ferengi! Talk about the most interesting thing ever. Not! See what I did there? I went back to the 90s with my verbiage, just like I’m doing with my sci-fi TV! Wee. No,...

In which we encounter a 3rd gamma quadrant species, which is also incredibly douchey, and saves us from having to interact with them again (or the writers having to write them again) by “knowing all...

This one went by pretty quick, probably because I was playing a game while watching it :). So, Kai Opaka, the Bajoran (why do I always want to spell it “Bjoran”?) Pope type deal (but female, and they...

OK, the B-plot here was the dumbest plot so far. I’m not even gonna go into it, other than to say that it was really dumb. The A-plot involved a young Bajoran girl thrust into a leadership position...

Another split-plot episode. A-plot: Kira talking to some old man with lots of stories about relocating him, some kind of like thing with the value of one’s home and relocation and stuff. And Kira...

This was a pretty well done episode in general. We meet another Gamma quadrant lifeform – this one a digital “puppy” that now lives in the computer system. I wonder if they’ll ever come back to that?...

This one was a little annoying to watch as everyone except Odo got mentalized by some alien “telepathic matrix” and started re-enacting some ancient mutiny. Basically, it was an excuse for them all to...

A really strong episode, maybe the strongest so far. This dude (Harris Yulin, some guy I’ve never heard of that looks like a vet single episode actor) gives a great performance as a captured...
View ArticleDS9+17: 120: The Hands of the Prophets
Another strong episode stirring social issues (and Bajor! Suprise!) into the mix. In this case we have some creationism vs. evolution shenanigans (I know, right?) BUT unfortunately they don’t have to...
