The Dominion Invasion, Part 6 of 7: Favor the Bold. Sisko quits his desk job, Quark helps his brother, Odo shacks up with the Female Changeling, and Kira takes down Darmar—literally—as we tackle the penultimate episode episode of the arc.

The Circle Trilogy, Part 3 of 3: The Siege. We discuss the character interactions and humor set against a coup d’état (it’s French), along with the resolution of Li Nalas’s arc and how the story ultimately supports the Federation’s mission.

In this special show we share our thoughts on your thoughts and questions about past episodes, including fan ratings of DS9 episodes, a new appreciation for The Circle Trilogy, cherry-picking Orbs, and Dr. Bashir as an instant superman.

The Circle Trilogy, Part 2 of 3: The Circle. Sisko has issues with Bajoran staffing decisions, Vedek Bareil whips out the spiritual pickup lines, and Chakotay makes an appearance (not that one) as we continue our look at Season Two’s opening arc.

The Dominion Invasion, Part 5 of 7: Behind the Lines. Sisko gets a desk job, Quark has a change of heart, Odo commits a sin of omission, and Kira gets angrier than ever as we inch closer to the end of the arc.

The Circle Trilogy, Part 1 of 3: The Homecoming. We begin a new miniseries that will take you through the season two opening arc, beginning with the return of Bajoran legend Li Nalas and the xenophobia that is sweeping Bajor.

DS9 Season One Overview. When you look back at the whole of DS9, the first season feels a bit out-of-place, the tone not matching the overall series. But there are a lot of seeds being planted. We walk through all of Season One’s stories.

The Dominion Invasion, Part 4 of 7: Sons and Daughters. We discuss family as we hit the midpoint of the Season 6 opening arc and delve into the complicated relationships between Worf and Alexander, Martok and Worf, Dukat and Ziyal… and Kira.

In this special show we share our thoughts on your thoughts and questions about past episodes, including Dukat and his daughter Ziyal, at what point the show becomes “DS9 proper,” and whether or not you should skip episodes when doing a rewatch.

Profit and Lace Commentary. The sixth season of DS9 brought us perhaps that best episode of the series; but it also brought us the worst. We take a tongue-in-cheek look at Quark’s day as a woman.
