Unlocked: The Witcher, but it's the Books
January 07, 2020 17:57 - 20 minutes - 18.3 MBMiss us? The ROA Remix episodes will keep coming, but regular listeners might like to hear new discussion from the three of us? And we're not even arguing in this one. Before watching the new Witcher show on Netflix that everyone else is talking about we talk about the book series by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. Patrons can hear us on the regular, talking about a variety of subjects at https://patreon.com/kickersofelves. Dropped this week are two other conversations, about Rick...
Battle Lines (DS9 S1E12)
December 20, 2019 07:00 - 59 minutes - 48 MBStick around to the end when Hugh goes all in on Opaka, IMDB scores, and more. Jonathan Banks! Plays a pissed off alien. Which he can pull off pretty well as you might imagine. Kai Alpaca, the Space Pope from the premiere comes back and sets things into motion... But mostly we're excited to see Jonathan Banks. That's Mike from Breaking Bad if you don't know who that is. Why don't you know who Jonathan Banks is?
Vortex (DS9 S1E11)
December 18, 2019 18:29 - 51 minutes - 41.5 MBHugh guides you through the vortex, and reflects on NYPD Blue, Nana Visitor's career, and his cohosts beer consumption. This week a couple of Gene Simmons steal a faberge egg, are double crossed by a space junkie, who turns out to actually be a space Mormon -who wears Odo's cousin around his neck- and everyone takes a trip to the least turbulent "vortex" in the galaxy. Does that make sense? No? Listen and figure out just what the heck I'm going on about. Plus: "Candy Man Caveman" and Wade's...
The Nagus (DS9 S1E10)
December 09, 2019 05:41 - 1 hour - 59.2 MBUh oh. Hope you like the Ferengi. Our dang podcast title and artwork feature them so we can't throw stones. Wallace Shawn guest stars as a wrinkly talking "coin purse." Ferengi Juggalos!? Wade gets off topic and weird about Andrea Martin. Manservant Punk Rock Ronald Reagan. Education and racism are discussed, among other things. OH, and hope you like My Dinner with Andre, cuz Wade finally watched it for the remix, and he's insufferable. 917 408 3898 https://patreon.com/kickersofelves htt...
Move Along Home (DS9 S1E09)
December 01, 2019 23:12 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBIn this very special "remix" episode James provides the long hidden secret behind Move Along Home and its writers. Then later he shares some of his thoughts on why it works in ways that later "bad" episodes of Deep Space Nine don't.
The Passenger (DS9 S1E08)
November 22, 2019 21:18 - 44 minutes - 35.6 MBJulian gets possessed by the ghost of Hannibal Lector doing a bad Bela Lugosi impersonation. Maybe? Hugh tries to do a voice in this episode, and regrets it four years later in the "remix" portion of this episode. Also: Some background on Technobabble There's gotta be a reason for what happened in the episode we talk about. Just how are we supposed to feel about that character, anyway? And we introduce "Angry Nerd Corner" (Wait, that's this whole show, right?) Go check out Hello Cruel Wor...
Dax (DS9 S1E07)
November 15, 2019 05:29 - 51 minutes - 47.6 MBDax is on trial. Or rather, a deposition or something. Stick around til the end, when Wade reflects back on this early episode and where the pod goes. Plus what other podcasts that might be coming up. How do you fix a character like Maria?? Well, you make her a good character but don't make her try to impress anybody. But OH WAIT. We're talking Dax here. Not West Side Story. This is actually a good episode. LISTEN! (Was somebody drunk when they posted this description?)
Q-Less (DS9 S1E06)
November 08, 2019 03:58 - 51 minutes - 47 MBIt's a Q episode! Stick around for the end when James looks back at his feelings on the episode, DS9, and podcasting in 2015. Everyone's favorite (or least favorite) Trickster Space God boards the station with Picard's ex girlfriend to help remind you this is a spin off of that Star Trek show you really liked. Remember? Nudge nudge. Wink. Come for the TNG characters, stay to hear us talk about Ferengi sex practices, and vent our transporter frustrations. [Editors note: Oh, and yes we were w...
Captive Pursuit (DS9 S1E05)
November 02, 2019 03:06 - 54 minutes - 49.9 MBRun! It's the most dangerous game, and the most dangerous way to re-listen to a pod from four years ago. Wade podcasts stuffed inside a box. Hugh looks back on the episode.
Babel (DS9 S1E04)
October 25, 2019 03:37 - 53 minutes - 49.1 MBThe crew of DS9 gets infected with an aphasia virus, and we can't quite find the words... Wade finds plenty to talk about after listening to this episode. TV Pre and Post the time of Difficult Men. Sex positive Dax is back, and Odo is embarrassed, but we don't buy it. How do you fix episode? James has some good ideas. Hey, don't bother with the tumblr, why not check out https://kickersofelves.com or better yet https://patreon.com/kickersofelves Or just https://twitter.com/kickerspodcasts ...
Past Prologue (DS9 S1E03)
October 17, 2019 10:24 - 53 minutes - 49.1 MBGarak is actually introduced. Things get turned around. Terrorists and Spock are discussed. Hugh reflects.
A Man Alone (DS9 S1E02)
October 10, 2019 21:34 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBGarak is introduced. Lets revisit the second episode and cringe at what doesn't work and think about what does. Future-James reflects some on DS9 and what kind of stories we might want for future generations.
Emmisary (DS9 S1E01)
October 03, 2019 04:34 - 1 hour - 69.5 MBDon't trust linear time! It's all just one eternal moment to the prophets, and here we are back at the beginning. Welcome to the Rules of Acquisition remix. It's the same ROA that you may know, but this time we're giving you some additional commentary on how it feels to travel back in time and listen to versions of ourselves from those before-times, back when our innocence was still intact. In this episode Hugh will fill you in on how this works. Welcome to The Rules of Acquisition! A p...
Kickers of Elves Roundtable: TNG's Sub Rosa

Catching You Up on Voicemails
September 18, 2019 04:30 - 53 minutes - 48.8 MBVoicemails?! Remember those? So do we! What has happened since last we updated? How have our lives changed forever since we finished watching every episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine? What else is in store from Kickers of Elves on the RoA feed? Hugh has some deets. What is The RoA Remix? What is this about these TNG roundtables? Is this the end voicemails? No! First Ben from the UK has a bone to pick with us on the episode “Valiant.” Jeffrey from Virginia (The Guy Who Hates W...

Themes and Stories: A Look Back on DS9 and The Rules of Acquisition
August 07, 2019 05:35 - 1 hour - 71.9 MBWe’ve gone through every. single. episode. of Deep Space Nine. Now what? Where’s the White Album for Season 7? We go into details and reflect on the thesis of the podcast and where we ended up with that. Wade did a White(ish) Album, and tried to pull a “How would we fix it,” all the way from the begining of the pod to fix the ending. What is Star Trek DS9 actually about? TNG vs DS9: What is the “best” Star Trek that holds up overall? Would we have different conclusions if we went t...
What You Leave Behind (DS9 S7E25)
July 31, 2019 06:54 - 1 hour - 94.6 MBThe Last DS9! Buckle up for a long ride and prepare to say goodbye to your space friends. Does the finale hit all its marks? Half? Enough to be effective and make you a little emotional at least? What great shows is this finale closer to than we are now? Flight of the Concords for instance came out closer to the DS9 finale than we are to FotCs. The Sopranos is just starting up. Where were we when DS9 concluded? Are we sad to see our space friends go? Julian breaks up with his boyfrie...
The Dogs of War (DS9 S7E24)
July 24, 2019 05:43 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBThe end is nigh upon us! The Ferengi are getting a new Nagus! The Cardassian rebellion has been crushed! Or has it? The Alliance Fleet has to make a decision. What was Peter Allan Fields contribution? Nobody’s saying! How do we feel about where this leaves some of our characters? Rom, go on Chapo! Quark, Sam Malone, and Making Ferengenar Great Again, and Jim from the Office. Is the Ferengi story of DS9 topical to our current time? Does Quark want to roll back Obamacare? But wh...
Extreme Measures (DS9 S7E23)
July 17, 2019 05:32 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MBMiles and Jule’s excellent adventure. It was the best of Julian, it was the worst of Julian. Sloan gets caught! Via exxxtreme measures. Oh, and Odo is dying. Putting to rest whether Julian is a good physician. O’Brien, reduced to a wingman, or something more? What imaginitve vistas could have been? What do the writers dislike about this episode and what does Wade love? Speaking of love… Forget about the Cardassian plot, this is all Bashir and Obrien. Odo is Scarecrow, or an esse...
Tacking Into the Wind (DS9 S7E22)
July 10, 2019 04:36 - 53 minutes - 49.4 MBOdo is sick. The Klingons and the Alliance have a problem. Empires of all sorts must change or be destroyed. Have you tacked before? Tacking into themes. Bobby Moynihan Cardasssian: What’s his actual name? Oh wait, is this the culmination of the post TNG plot for the Klingons? Worf: Avatar of regime change. Clicking Clocks and ticking tocks. What was Voyager going to do with these characters anyway? Does it make sense to withold information from Sisko or not? Is ...
When It Rains... (DS9 S7E21)
July 03, 2019 05:04 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBDot dot dot. A lot is poured into this episode. Kira joins the faculty at terrorism school, Julian digs up some Section 31 dirt, and more! Did this episode take interesting concepts and make them tedious? We’re divided! Was there a better way to get Kira into a Starfleet uniform? We gotta go back to what we said about non agression pacts. These shows love to get outsider characters into the uniform. Did the writing get backed up in the room again? Does this episode at least s...
The Changing Face of Evil (DS9 S7E20)
June 26, 2019 05:40 - 1 hour - 58 MBThe Dominion War and Books. Ezri and Worf get home. Earth is attacked. Solbor! Nooo! Oh and something happens to the Defiant. The one with all the research. Arrested developement and juvenile culture. Tabletop! Why no Jim and Pam- ing? Superstore can do it, why can’t DS9 Sam and Diane at all? The pepper burning scene? We’ll give ya that one. So everybody still takes the husband’s name in the future, huh? Poor ol’ Solbor. Dukat, Q, and the Great Awakening. Who is Kost Amo...
Strange Bedfellows (DS9 S7E19)
June 19, 2019 04:49 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MBPart Three of the final arc! Ezri/Worf: Still captured. Dukat/Winn: Trouble brewing. Sisko/Kasidy: Marriage is war? Damar's story is getting good. The episodes run together. Kai Ratched becomes a satanist. Who was giggling while writing this? Understanding mature relationships. Who’s getting cocky? Frank Langella, now there’s a man with chemistry. We make some Game of Thrones comparisons. Three plots to tangle. Written by committee? Damar, we love you. How much does t...
Til Death Do Us Part (DS9 S7E18)
June 12, 2019 05:46 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MBSisko's space mom doesn't want him getting married. Kai Winn gets a gentleman caller. Ezri gets a love interest she's barely talked to in any of her featured episodes. All the plots have romance. Yay? Dukat has a plan. What is our least favorite part of this episode? Is this a Dan Brown novel for Wade? Is everyone out of position for the end? So what is going on with Kai Winn? How clear is the writing? I’m sure you nerds can tell us. How can we untangle what we know about this sho...
Penumbra (DS9 S7E17)
June 05, 2019 05:16 - 53 minutes - 49.4 MBIt’s the final countdown y’all. Worf gets lost. Sisko gets some land and also engaged. Plus there's a war on. They’ve dabbled with serialization, how does DS9 kick off the longest arc any Star Trek had attempted? What approach did the writers take to assembling the story? What mandates and rules did they have to adhere to? Setting aside the rewatch meter. What kind of shows have we soured on over the past several years? Why does Star Trek keep screwing up romances? More on that ...
Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges (DS9 S7E16)
May 29, 2019 04:48 - 1 hour - 56.6 MBIn times of war the law falls silent. WE DO NOT. Julian is contacted by Section 31 to run some spy shenanigans at a conference. We end up discussing more than just this episode, and trying to decipher if DS9 overall is portraying a hard moral philosophy or not. This is a Jean le Carre story apparently? What kind of moral position is Deep Space Nine trying to sell us? Three options are posited: Cold War “Dark Pragmatism”, a sacrifice of one's own moral actions in the service of prese...
Bada Bing Bada Bang (DS9 S7E15)
May 22, 2019 05:01 - 44 minutes - 40.3 MBWe got holodeck shenanigans. Sisko has good reason to not want to go to not visit the 60s. We revisit the career of beloved actor Mike Starr. Waitaminute. Do people not like Vic? Finally: An episode not based on an old movie, right? What was the reason behind the memorable Sisko scene in this? The “jack in the box” concept is interesting. A TJ Hooker connection! Spencer for Hire! Were the music levels off? How bout that sinister piano? More Mike Starr. Imagine if he were A...
Chimera (DS9 S7E14)
May 15, 2019 04:44 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MBOdo meets one of his people, and their intimate relationship causes some tension with Kira. Sex vibes for days. For all that creators have acknowledged in the DS9 doc and elsewhere that the show could have done better with LGBTQ issues, is this episode an example of exploring those questions? Or more about marginalized identites in general? We may not be the best equipped to talk about it, but we’re gonna try. What favor did the fx guy do for this episode? How much more mileage could...
Field of Fire (DS9 S7E13)
May 08, 2019 04:26 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MBA killer is on the loose, but does it take a killer to catch a - oh this is something we've seen before. What is the bad part of this episode? Is there any part of it that isn’t just a take on Silence of the Lambs? Did Anthony Hopkins ruin 90s villains with creepy slow talking? What does it say when Davey Crocket scenes pop the most? What’s going on with Vulcans this season? What’s going on with the writer of this episode? On the DL at the Alamo. Would Hector Ilario’s late night...
The Emperor's New Cloak (DS9 S7E12)
May 01, 2019 04:57 - 57 minutes - 52.3 MBThe Nagus is Missing in the Alternate Universe and Quark and Rom need a cloaking device for the Regent. It’s the final Mirror Universe episode of Deep Space Nine, and we couldn’t be more upset. Two of our favorite things. The Mirror Universe PLUS Ferengi shenanigans! Get ready to talk about evil bisexual tropes. Hugh was right about problems in the mirror U since season its first reappearance in DS9. Now in Discovery they’re still doing it. How many episodes are going to start wi...
Prodigal Daughter (DS9 S7E11)
April 24, 2019 04:46 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MBO'Brien is missing from Deep Space Nine, and also from most of this episode. To find him Ezri must go home to face her family and the ... the toxic effects of capitalism? The sequel that definitely nobody asked for. Not even the writers apparently. What happened here? Who is owed an apology? Audra Come Home. Where does this episode sit next to other season’s low points? Is this episode actually a nuanced critique of capitalism? Wade, your audio is going in the penalty box for...
It's Only a Paper Moon (DS9 S7E10)
April 17, 2019 04:27 - 53 minutes - 48.5 MBNog has some very understandable issues to deal with. Maybe we do too? Is this the best holodeck episode ever? Is that damning with faint praise? What makes a holodeck episode anyway? Vic Fontaine. Oh Vic. OH MY, how some people hate you. How does this episode’s representation of a hologram character exist within the entire Star Trek franchise? How long til the show smartens up about the swinging 60s? What was the original pitch from David Mack way back in season 2? Even with Vi...
Covenant (DS9 S7E09)
April 10, 2019 05:20 - 58 minutes - 53.4 MBHey remember how cults were all the rage in the 90s? Kira Nerys does. Should she be more ready to disengage from Dukat's tiresome shenanigans at this point? What cult is this? Koresh or Applewhite? Say what you will about this, it has a hard target. Dipping into a warm bath of cults. The Jesus Movement vs more repressive religion of the 80s/90s. Heaven’s Gate Aum Shinrinko and Raelians. Heaven shopping on the promenade. Is Dukat’s arc starting to fray at this point? When...
The Siege of AR-558 (DS9 S7E08)
April 03, 2019 04:49 - 58 minutes - 53.6 MBWar is hell. Sisko and crew get put in the middle of it. What does the end of History and the 90s have to do with this episode? WELL WE’RE GONNA TALK ABOUT IT. Salts vs Boots. Tuco Salamanca! Will Robinson! Neoliberalism! Why was this such a hard episode to get made? Is this a facile argument about war in general? Is the question of whether the war is just or necessary an important one to ask for this story? Contrast this to City on the Edge. Framing alien species against huma...
Once More Unto the Breach (DS9 S7E07)
March 27, 2019 05:05 - 52 minutes - 47.9 MBYou guys, Martok HATES Kor. When Kor shows up at Worf's drunk in the middle of the night and asks him to do a favor so he can die with dignity, what is a bro supposed to do? Progressive Left vs the old liberals: Worf is Peter Daou. This 90s show is all about post Trump politics, right? How many people or characters can we compare the cast of this DS9 episode to? What are the sexual mores of Klingon culture? Klingon military school is like getting into West Point back in olden times...
Treachery, Faith, and the Great River (DS9 S7E06)
March 20, 2019 05:14 - 54 minutes - 25 MBWhat happens in this episode? [See title of episode] The final installment of the Ferengi Pickers Cycle. Kira’s boyfriend also gets an interesting story! Does DS9 actually do faith ok in this episode? “Back massages,” huh? Do the Ferengi’s crony capitalism superpowers have any place in the Federation? Is Sisko being a jerk captain here? The individuality of clones. Do we have trouble waiting for a third act turn that didn’t come? Defect; Defective. Female Changeling, you look ...
Chrysalis (DS9 S7E05)
March 13, 2019 05:28 - 54 minutes - 49.5 MBOne Flew Back to the Cuckoo's Nest. Do Re OH NO. Julian brings a patient out of a catatonic state and what's the first thing he does after? Julian. Your ethics, man. Has he learned anything over the seasons? How toxic is the masculinity? Are we supposed to be rooting for him or not? How does Miles feel about Julian’s situation? Consent. Do they have it? Did Julian seek it hard enough? Was there actually a story about the expectations we put on women and the assumptions men make...
Take Me Out to the Holosuite (DS9 S7E04)
March 06, 2019 06:16 - 1 hour - 62.7 MBA haughty Vulcan challenges the emotional Sisko to a game of baseball and we got us a shenanigans episode, y'all! But what's this about an ethnoship? Take me out, please. Secrets of Rom. A premise well deployed. Wait, not the Bad News Bears, but… was this based on an old tv show? An… ethnoship? Oh boy we’re gonna talk about racism. USS Vidal Sassoon. Is it a weird message if the superior Vulcans end up overpowering the diverse non Vulcans? Buckle up! Does this episode ...
Afterimage (DS9 S7E03)
February 27, 2019 05:07 - 53 minutes - 24.4 MBDoes Ezri Dax even want to be on Deep Space Nine? Well of course she does, but the show needs an episode to integrate a counselor into station life. Garak and Worf especially have some issues to deal with. Is season 7 back on track? James wants more punch from the scripts. Are James and Hugh overly demanding? Bashir: That Staring Guy. For a brief scene it turns into a John Hugh’s movie. How was the script thrown a curveball by the later casting? Is new Dax a manic pixie? Does...
Shadows and Symbols (DS9 S7E02)
February 20, 2019 06:27 - 59 minutes - 54.3 MBWe learn a little something about Ben Sisko's origin. OH, and it's time to spend more time with that "Ezri Dax" that showed up at the end of last episode. Research: Website coming soon. Ezri: No stumbling out the gate on this one. Would we have still preferred some stunt casting? What was the thinking behind another Nicole De Boer’s casting? What does Quark actually contribute? Never apologize, even if you’re Worf? Has Star Trek and DS9 been missing counselors since TNG? What if...
Image in the Sand (DS9 S7E01)
February 13, 2019 05:38 - 55 minutes - 51.4 MBSeason Seven commences! Sisko is off the station again and everyone is trying to deal with the catastrophes of season Six. What will the final season of Deep Space Nine entail? The new status quo. Odo … is fine. Killing who? Film-what? The Go-bots of streaming services. Religion again. How topical! STEMBOLTS. Worf’s grief. What’s a Klingon to do? Not be Liam Neeson, that’s for sure. A compliment for Behr. A Romulan with personality? Obrien with Scocth. Damar! W...
DS9 Season 6: The White Album
February 06, 2019 06:39 - 40 minutes - 37.7 MBOur White Albums for Season 6! It's that time again, where we each cut a full 26 90's season of television into a concise modern 8 to 12 episode series. Turns out we line up pretty well. What did we keep and what got cut? What happened to Dax in this season? Did we keep any Ferengi episodes? No Half Measures on serialization. [Ok, and a few minor knocks on Discovery]. Hypothetical: If you could get rid of the worst episodes of this season if you also had to get rid of “Far Beyond th...
Tears of the Prophets (DS9 S6E26)
January 30, 2019 07:32 - 1 hour - 57 MBSeason Six is over! Does it die with a bang, or a whimper? The Dominion War reaches a crucial moment. This is not how we want to say goodbye to our space friends. Are the pieces rushed into place? And does this episode wrap things up satisfactorially? How many of the pieces here are nothing we want to watch? [Just a small bit of argumentation] Did the creators overestimate how invested we were in some of these stories? What is the big choice Sisko has to make? The least anemic ...
The Sound of Her Voice (DS9 S6E25)
January 23, 2019 05:13 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MBSisko and the crew become best friends with a voice on the radio. A return to A plot/B plot structures. And some adventures in the beta quadrant. We pretty much liked this episode. The 500th episode of Star Trek across all its series. Who’s that voice? Kasidy Yates, we missed you (but maybe Sisko didn’t?). Star Trek finally highlights the bad parts of socialist countries - with Odo’s over reliance on regulations. How do you know you’re in the Vegan sector? A new Bashir? Again? A c...
Time's Orphan (DS9 S6E24)
January 16, 2019 06:11 - 49 minutes - 46 MBMolly falls down a space-well and comes out ten years older - and pretty damaged. Must O’Brien suffer, or must we? Are the writers taking other meetings at this point in 1998? Is time travel boring? How many of these portals are there just lying around? Is this a typical Star Trek episode or does the family angle make it something else? Does it being a rework of a TNG idea mean anything? The B plot: Written after the fact. What does “uninhabited” mean? Does Molly’s feral-ness m...
Profit and Lace (DS9 S6E23)
January 09, 2019 05:52 - 55 minutes - 51.8 MBFerengi women get to wear clothes and Quark gets a sex change. This episode, for all its faults… they only get worse with age. All the great actors that get dragged into this… Starting off, the episode is bad enough, and the end ain't any better. How easy is it to compartmentalize and quarantine these bad episodes away from the good ones? Comparing ISB to Moffat. How do the showrunners stand by this one? But what can we say nice about this one? Some of the makeup? Addressing a ...
Valiant (DS9 S6E22)
January 03, 2019 20:02 - 1 hour - 114 MBJake and Nog, behind enemy lines with a buncha teens! Cadet Kelly Clarkson? What starts off looking like a NohJay Ferengi Nagus episode takes a wrong turn and detour into a muddled mess. Remember Star Trek The Motion Picture? Oh no, we usually keep that talk of certain horrible things to the Hashish and Superiority pod. Is it the writing or the acting that's the worst culprit in this episode? How many ways could this have been made better? How bout we Rashomon this mofo? Just why is t...
Voicemail Hullaballoo (DS9 Season 6 check in)
December 31, 2018 22:39 - 38 minutes - 72.5 MBSee, we still do voicemails! It's been tumultuous in the back half of season 6. We hear voicemails from Greg, Warren, Adam, and read some emails. Can we get our minds right? Let us know what you think: 917 408 3898 And find additional content at the Kickers of Elves patreon. patreon.com/kickersofelves
The Reckoning (DS9 S6E21)
December 26, 2018 17:39 - 52 minutes - 98.9 MBReckoning with a Bajor episode that goes full Ghostbusters. We get on a Kim Kattrell tangent. Hugh Crawford does the math. But wait, it’ll pay off later in the podcast. Instead of our regular polar opinionsA decidely mixed bag of an episode. Odo reduced to “the good boyfriend.” Is the Nurse Ratched cadence infectious to other actors? Hey, remember those Pah Wraiths? Without Mad Men would we have a John Slattery Admiral? Seems like we’d rather talk things other than this episode. Why d...
