Kickers of Elves
272 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 82 ratingsDeep dives into art and media. We did five years dissecting Deep Space Nine with The Rules of Acquisition. Star Trek is overrated. We went in on David Lynch. That was fun. Now? Biding our time. It happens when it happens.

Bloody Cardies: More Voicemails
April 13, 2017 09:48 - 32 minutes - 30 MBMore of your responses! An ASMR intro makes Wade uncomfortable. Is “realistic” acting good acting? Have we exhausted our thoughts on Past Tense? Bloody Cardies! Should three middle class white dudes relish fake racial slurs? When do we hear the "spoonheads" slur, anyway? Plus, Kate leads us into a whole discussion of colonialism on Bajor and what we've gotten wrong. She's right, but really: “Space Pope” is a lot of fun to say. Waiting to be called SJW cucks… AND What we look for in calls. We...
59. Destiny
April 10, 2017 11:46 - 48 minutes - 45 MBVipers and swords! Just how should the folks on Deep Space Nine interpret Bajoran Nostradamus? Why does Sisko need to come to terms with being the Emissary? Three scripts, including the one from a bitter writer, a Star Trek veteran, and the one we ended up with. O'Brien experiences sexism. All Cardassians know: Men Suck at Math. Because we and the writers of Star Trek agree, rigid gender roles are antiquated, even if the Cardassians haven’t learned as such yet. MRAs? Come at us. 917 408 3898
Voicemail Extravaganza
April 07, 2017 09:44 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MBProximity Alert. Unidentified podcast approaching. We vent the warp core and release an extra episode with a few voicemails we couldn't fit into the regular podcast Dryvetyme's first call: We talk goofiness, “camp” and what can be found to redeem otherwise awful Star Trek episodes? Austin from Chicago from Brooklyn comments on our language, among a few other things, and we discuss how we feel about potentially offending anyone and making ourselves uncomfortable. And finally Kristen from Toro...
58. Heart Of Stone
April 03, 2017 10:51 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBKira gets stuck in a rock, and other characters get unstuck! We start off talking about the Amish… but who are they gonna complain to? Aside from the melodrama and Amish romance novel comparisons -or maybe because of all that- we like this one! One of our favorite character arcs of the entire Deep Space Nine series - maybe in all of Star Trek- gets going in the B plot. Nog wants to join Starfleet! Why? Because joining Starfleet is all about dad issues. What leaves a humanoid to take another ...
57. Life Support
March 27, 2017 09:54 - 1 hour - 64.6 MBRobot Pope, we hardly knew ye. And he's all sorts of robot-y in this one. We have the technology! We can rebuild him… to a point. The Bashir Controversy comes to a head! Wade is on the ropes, defending Deep Space Nine's doctor, as James and Hugh rail against the star of the episode. How much of acting is subjective? But Lisa Turtle is in this one! Lets figure out the SBTB timeline… including the College years. We can all lament on the B plot… Conflict of culture, or being an *******? Are we ...
56. Past Tense Part 2
March 20, 2017 09:37 - 1 hour - 66.9 MBDeep Space Nine futures back to the past! 8 years from now! We jump right back into Past Tense, this time right into the Bell Riots themselves with part two! Is this as hollow and facile an investigation of society's problems as James and Hugh say, or do the Ghosts, Gimmes, and Dims of 2024 have a valuable lesson to teach us in 2017? Something that shines through this Very Special Episode about homelessness in 1994? James doesn’t get ghosts. Hugh really hates baby boomers’ fetishization of t...
55. Past Tense Part 1
March 13, 2017 09:38 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBThe episode you’ve been waiting for! Seemingly the most talked about Star Trek episodes of the current administration. Three of the Deep Space Nine crew go back to... Our future? Or is it a remnant from a 90's past? Prelude to the Bell Riots. But actually, instead of telling you what you might expect from a Star Trek podcast in 2017 we spend a lot of time on what we don't like. Very divided opinions on Bashir. Is this Important scifi, or an afterschool special? Time travel and Dan Harmon. Wh...
Spinoff: Lost, part 2 "We Need to Talk About Jacob"
March 11, 2017 23:48 - 55 minutes - 51.4 MBOur explanation of Lost continues! We've made it through the first few seasons, but what have we forgot to mention? What is the deal with the ending? Wade provides his own, more rewarding (to him) explanation of the show's mysteries! The gnostic secrets of Lost revealed!
Spinoff: Lost, Explained (Part 1)
March 10, 2017 02:11 - 1 hour - 60.6 MBInstead of covering a groundbreaking show from the 90s, we instead jump to a decade later, when there were whispers of a new "Golden Age of Television"... When The Sopranos was still on the air, Netflix was all dvds, and "binge watching" was a new thing people said to sound quirky. Hugh never watched Lost, and never plans to. James watched it all in a rush recently. Wade was all in when it aired, drew fanfic, and played the online ARG. (dork) We take it upon ourselves to explain the hit prim...
54. Fascination
March 06, 2017 11:13 - 1 hour - 56.4 MBPeldar Joy, listeners. We're so sorry. It's Gratitude Fest on on Deep Space Nine, and it can be hard to find things to be grateful for in this episode. Luxwana Troi shows up! But we don't blame her for this. Sure in the plot all the nonconsentual grabbing and unsolicited amore is her fault, but we blame the writers for this Midsummer Nights Fiasco. Some O'brien marriage drama between Miles and Keiko in the B plot is ... slightly better, but we have some notes there too. Plus, we get back to ...
53. Defiant
February 27, 2017 10:41 - 55 minutes - 51.7 MBBy Riker’s beard! Another guy from Star Trek: The Next Generation on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine! Jonathan Frakes shows up. And talks up Kira. Do Kira and Riker have more chemistry than Kira and robo-Bareil? But then the Defiant gets stolen, the fake mutton chops come off, and the story really gets rolling. The meat of this episode? Some real Dukat and Sisko business, getting into some Cardassian conflicts with Hugh’s favorite subject, the Maquis. We get into some Angry Nerd Corner-ing over, ...
52. Meridian
February 20, 2017 10:22 - 1 hour - 56.9 MBOh, boy, this episode. Enjoy it's many pleasures. We didn't! Brigadoon? More like Briga-doomed... ...Briga-don't? Don't expect the writing of this episode to exceed the hack joke writing of the above. Dax is in love and things quickly escalate to a 90's safe-for-television level of risque. We however, DO NOT keep it safe for TV outside of premium cable. Lots of eating fruit. Suggestively. Picnics! Picnics! Picnics! But all is not lost: There is Jeffrey Combs, in his first Star Trek appearanc...
51. Civil Defense
February 13, 2017 10:25 - 1 hour - 68.8 MBThings are about to explode! Or the station is. An alarm is triggered the Deep Space Nine crew have to solve a bunch of technobabble puzzles to escape. It's another Star Trek episode where they don't actually go anywhere, but it's actually pretty great because Dukat shows up! Wade is really into escape rooms. Not sure what that is? You will by the end of this podcast! What makes this such a great episode? Is it the stakes? The character work. This one has Dukat AND Garak, after all. Plus, in...
50. The Abandoned
February 06, 2017 10:58 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBTwo Aliens, a man, and a baby. Quark buys some salvage and falls into a plot so good that it gets re-used by Rick and Morty two decades later. But first: An extended conversation on the societal roles and sexual mores of Dabo girls. Parental opinions! A load bearing episode! And we end with some viewer responses! Voicemail and email both this time. 917 408 3898 Let us know what you think!
49. Second Skin
January 30, 2017 10:45 - 1 hour - 63.8 MBKira is a Cardie. Or... is she? The Obsidian Order is pulling some shenanigans and Kira Nerys gets stole. Once the mind drugs take effect she's supposed to remember being a Cardassian operative hidden away on Bajor during the occupation, and how much she loves her dad. But hey, you probably saw the episode if you're listening to this podcast! We talk about what could have been with the original pitch, and just how great Garak is when paired with Sisko... Is this episode a thematic sequel to ...
48. Equilibrium
January 23, 2017 09:44 - 58 minutes - 54.2 MB24th century music sucks. Dax plays a song, becomes a moody teenager, and learns that her hormones are all out of whack. So... off to the Trill Homeworld to solve a mystery, learn a totally new explanation of Symbiosis, and take some milky baths with slugs! Acting is discussed. As is master magician Jeff McBride! But mostly slugs! Lots of trying to figure out what the heck the deal with Trills are. Plus we read some emails this week. Can you put us in our place? Feel free to give us your tho...
47. House Of Quark
January 16, 2017 10:01 - 1 hour - 58.5 MBMARRIED LIFE Keiko and Miles, Quark and a Klingon lady; this one's all about problems with women. But FINALLY it's not completely ham-fisted in it's understanding. No picnics are had. Also: Bashir, a PUA before The Game was even a thing. Wade butchers the Klingon language. “The WASP” podcast explores various relations to founding fathers and separatists… Ferengi financial acuity and certain times when “fancy book learnin” among certain people groups maybe made some other peoples nervous. Plu...
Spinoff: ROA on The OA
January 14, 2017 12:31 - 54 minutes - 50.4 MBThere has been a change in format from our regular scheduled programming. The OA... Is this really a show worth watching? It depends! Instead of an oldie from the 90s, we take a leap forward to discuss this most controversial of modern TV shows on the Netflix streaming network. Not much Star Trek discussion here! Maybe we're not actually fans ourselves, but we take a break to discuss this risky and ... "interesting" episodic program ***We recorded this a few times unsuccessfully, there is s...
46. The Search Part 2
January 09, 2017 09:55 - 1 hour - 64 MBThe glorious conclusion! ...To the beginning of DS9's third season and the new paradigm. Things have gone poorly for the defiant in the gamma quadrant, and Odo and Kira hang out with Odo's family of melty beige Eric Trumps. Luckily Sisko and the rest of the senior staff have made it back to the station... or have they? STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE IS BETTER THAN LOST! More voice mails! Let us know your thoughts! 917-408-3898
45. The Search Part 1
January 02, 2017 09:10 - 1 hour - 57.7 MBWelcome to Season Three of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine! What happened in between seasons? Ch ch ch changes! The Defiant is finally here! New cast members? Who is and who isn’t here to make friends? Stepping on Odo's ... feelings. This episode is well paced. Again, reflecting on S2 problems. How long until we get Majel Barret's voice on our digital assistant devices? Sisko scenes. Jake scenes Jadzia's hair game. "Let’s not make it a race thing" … how self aware are these writers? Full Emo Odo ...
Appendix E: "A Woman Who Reminds Me of Kira" w/ Courtney Bowen
December 26, 2016 22:28 - 56 minutes - 52.4 MBSpecial Guest episode! Going forward as we have less "things we would change," and fantasies of "fixing" episodes of a 20 year old tv show. Instead, we want to hear more from you, our listeners! 917-408-3898 With that in mind, we welcome DS9 fan (who happens to be married to Wade’s brother), Courtney Bowen to the podcast. Topics discussed: It is a compliment to say you resemble Kira Nerys! Is Picard The Daddy? James wants to get political Bashir… ok he’s sexy… I guess? Sleepy Dax Owning bein...
Season 2 "White Album"
December 19, 2016 13:58 - 47 minutes - 44.1 MBCutting the chaff! We narrow it down to the best episodes of season 2. The three of us each pick out 12 episodes to make our ideal streamlined "modern" season two What works and doesn’t work about what we've seen this season? Is O’Brien the “Kirk” of Star Trek Deep Space Nine now? Just what the heck are they doing with Avery Brooks? Can they figure out the Sisko? [yes] James’ arc of appreciation for Ira Steven Behr A state of the union on all our favorite [and least favorite] characters. Dax...
44. The Jem'Hadar
December 12, 2016 09:11 - 1 hour - 56 MBThings get Real. The show we love really begins! Not that we didn’t love [some] of what came before, but if you’re a long time DS9 fan you know what we’re talking about, and if you’re new to the show or watching along with us… GET EXCITED. What big info about Captain Mike Pence does Wade insist James hold back from the beginning of the podcast? A terribly obscure hint lies in the first episode of this season! We explore how this seemingly typical, pedestrian Star Trek episode pulls the rug o...
43. Tribunal
December 05, 2016 10:31 - 1 hour - 60.7 MBO'brien Must Suffer! Does this one hit too close to home in 2016? We find a lot to talk about in this Kafka-esque Cardassian episode. You want to hear debates about absurdism vs expressionism, right? But also: More James' nipple corner! [Hint: It's O'brien again] Is this at all similar to Picard's Cardassian torture episode from Star Trek: The Next Generation, homoerotically? [Hint: Well, that kinda depends on you, man] Is O'Brien a Maquis agent? [Hint: Of course not] Are he and Keiko going ...
42. The Collaborator
November 28, 2016 10:18 - 56 minutes - 52.2 MBPolitics and Religion: Just what the people want from Star Trek, right? Do they want it from DS9? Kai Ratched has a plot! Robot Pope has a secret! Did he make a dude pull a Judas and hang himself on the promenade of Deep Space Nine? But really, we have bigger things to talk about. Like an exciting new segment: James' Nipple Corner! But even more pressing: Why can’t the dumb Bajorans just be more like the Viet Cong? That’s right, this is the only Star Trek podcast that will give you this much...
41. Crossover
November 21, 2016 10:21 - 1 hour - 58.6 MBWho loves the Mirror Universe? Hugh sure hates the mirror universe. James is not fond of the mirror universe. Wade loves the mirror universe. It’s another long one! We spend some time up front setting up the mirror universe, going back to the original Star Trek series episode, “Mirror Mirror” before going full bore into Kira trying to romance herself and just what the heck is going on. Does it make any sense whatsoever? Does Deep Space Nine’s “Crossover” kill Spock’s Roddenberry vision? Thin...
40. The Wire
November 14, 2016 10:16 - 57 minutes - 53.2 MBShipping Garak & Bashir! Continuing our coverage of back to back "very special episodes!" Finally we learn more of Garak's backstory? Or do we? Garak has a medical issue and Julian just can't quit him! We get discuss 3 different stories Garak tells, Odo's authoritarian leanings, and the logistics of surprise trips to Cardassian territory; Just what kind of bad-assery strains one's credulity of the Obsidian Order? Get ready for some co-host disagreements this week, and to come!
39. The Maquis
November 07, 2016 10:28 - 1 hour - 73 MBA Double sized issue! Federation Terrorists! Instead of one Star Trek episode split into two podcasts, this week we're giving you an extra long podcast with two DS9 episodes crammed in! But hey it's one story. The first 20 minutes or so we cover some backstory and origins back in a few The Next Generation episodes. Where does the term "Maquis" come from? Wade says "metaplot" too many times. Does DS9 make steps here to salvage the "Grand Vision" of Star Trek from Rick Berman's guidance? Some ...
38b. Blood Oath
November 01, 2016 10:01 - 57 minutes - 52.9 MBJean-Claude Van... Dax? The prelude is over, we're finally getting down and dirty with Blood Oath proper. Is this the greatest episode ever, or the Star Trek equivalent of a Cannon film? Are those two descriptors mutually exclusive? Is Jadzia Dax right to uphold the blood oath of Kurzon Dax? Can her fellow officers aboard DS9 ever look her in the eye again after she agrees to straight up murder a dude? Just exactly what race is The Albino? These questions and more answered, or at least ponde...
38a. Klingons! or Prelude To Blood Oath
October 31, 2016 09:57 - 34 minutes - 32.2 MBIt's a Very Special Episode! Instead of jumping straight into the events of the next episode of Deep Space Nine we take a detour and ruminate on Klingons past; from the past of the original Star Trek series, to an older yet "more recent" past of Enterprise, and the past of three Klingons in particular: Kor, Koloth, and Kang. Just how different are these Klingons on DS9 from their portrayals on TOS? How the hell do they explain the head ridges to these old guys who don't want to wear them? Wh...
37. Profit And Loss
October 24, 2016 08:51 - 45 minutes - 42.6 MBQuarksablanca! Quark: The George Clooney of Ferengi. How grossed out are you by Ferengi/Cardassian makeouts? What’s the deal with Natima Lang's students? Are they the weakest terrorist ever? Things get contentious. The most disagreement we’ve had so far on the podcast. Though, we can all agree Garak is great. Listeners, just how murky was this episode? Let us know what you think!
36. Playing God
October 17, 2016 08:30 - 54 minutes - 50.4 MBInitiate Arjin visits DS9 to whine! A baby universe. Voles! Jadzia gets an intern, or a trill up for joining who is surprised by the unorthodox Dax. Finally the "Is Jadzia Kurzon?" question is settled. Wade makes the argument this episode can serve as a meta-commentary on the character herself. OH, and there's a proto universe that gets batted around by muppet skinless cats. Are the moral implications of stepping on a universe of ants more deserving of an A plot than Jadzia's sex wrestling? ...
35. Shadowplay
October 10, 2016 10:25 - 52 minutes - 48.7 MBWelcome to Space Mayberry! It's NOT a next generation rewrite? Go figure. Odo and Dax land on a planet that is NOT a TNG script. Quark is running shenanigans while Odo is gone. Will Kira get her swerve on? Yes she will. We love this writer, we... well, this ain't a bad episode.
34. Paradise
October 03, 2016 10:06 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MBCool Hand Benjamin. Sisko and O’Brien crash land on a planet of space Luddites. More Space Amish? Nope. Space hippy cultists. But did this episode have a point that could have been explored more? Classic trek, where a Captain- er commander- is tortured to see what he is made of. But it’s not Cardassian torture this time- for once! We discuss how other captains might have dealt with the situation. And some O’Brien backstory! RambO’Brien Jason Bour’ien?
33. Whispers
September 26, 2016 09:22 - 46 minutes - 43.2 MBThings aren't what they seem for O'Brien. Is this a M. Night Sham, or is it like that Rick and Morty episode? Maybe Parallax View, or a certain most famous of scifi noirs? Just how would this plot play out as an episode of The Americans? Oh it's a mystery! Or is it? We slide stealthily into a nerd corner conversation on teleporters and cloning. Can Hugh get over his dislike for Colm Meaney's furrowed brow?
32. Armageddon Game
September 19, 2016 09:36 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MBMore O'Brien and Bashir bromancing. Two races with ridiculous hair are the worsts hosts ever. How do they repay a favor? Kill the guys doing you a solid. Not cool, bro. After getting rid of what we're told is the ultimate doomsday weapon -but that appears a run of the mill biological weapon, with a name that doesn't describe what it does at all- Miles and Julian hide out in a bunker. Surprisingly NOT a rehashed TNG script. We talk Seuss, Babylon 5, and some redeeming qualities of this episod...
31. The Alternate
September 12, 2016 08:14 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MBOdo's Dad! (kinda) Is this a horror movie? Father issues, the stuff popular filmed entertainment is made of! What happens when the DS9 crew goes to an abandoned planet, brings back an obelisk, and then tries to give every cast member a defining line while trying to recreate The Thing, or Alien? Does that screw up the third act? Wade does his damnedest to defend this episode.
Appendix D: Evaluation Report, Star Trek: Mission New York
September 07, 2016 11:39 - 33 minutes - 31 MBStardate 47634.44: Wade spent the weekend at Star Trek: Mission New York, and fills in some details for those in Missouri, or other parts remote. We clarify our mispronunciations Panels: The DS9 cast reunion, Robocop and Bruce Greenwood, an Enterprise panel of bros, and Kate Mulgrew giving Brannon Braga the business. Wade's most awkward celebrity encounter. And finally we end with an extended discussion of what might be gleaned relating to Star Trek Discovery.
30. Rivals
September 05, 2016 08:58 - 46 minutes - 43.5 MBPrince Humperdink is a grifter! Wade is embarrassed to like this one. O’Brien and Bashir: Mango Habanero sauce. We do a lot of talking about Julian Bashir as an “unlikeable character” in the pre-Soprano’s era There’s a Bella Union to Quark’s Swearengen’s Saloon… cept no part of this slush pile script is exactly on par with Deadwood, sorry Star Trek Discovery writer Joe Menosky. SPACE RACQUETBALL
29. Sanctuary
August 29, 2016 08:54 - 42 minutes - 39.1 MBOatmeal faced reverse space Mormons! And that's not even meant as a pejorative. Exploration of the universal translator is appreciated, but does it clutter up the rest of this episode where a matriarchal society lands on DS9 and pulls a Battlestar Galactica on Bajor? Just what is Boner from Growing Pains doing? What could have been a great exploration of responses to a refugee crisis turns into a wonky episode of Star Trek. Some "fun" scenes, but unrelated to the central theme of the episode...
28. Second Sight
August 22, 2016 08:30 - 59 minutes - 55.5 MBThis DS9 episode could have used a second pass... What starts with a great father/son scene about that time Picard blew up Ben Sisko's wife devolves into mooning over a woman with no personality and a penchant for disappearing. A man reignites a dead sun with science we are dubious about. But the episode is almost worth watching just for Chief O'Brien's eye rolls alone.
27. Necessary Evil
August 15, 2016 09:46 - 57 minutes - 53.5 MBTerok Nor? More like Terok NOIRE! How did Odo go from doing the “Cardassian Neck Trick” in parlours to being a constable on board a Bajoran space station? A flashback episode will answer that. Kira is pretty great. We spend a lot of this episode gushing over how we think Peter Allan Field is the best thing to happen to Star Trek Deep Space Nine. But is there something missing from this episode?
26. Rules Of Acquisition
August 08, 2016 19:16 - 55 minutes - 51.5 MB24th Century Buttslap! Check out that new cover art to commemorate our Namesake Episode! Does this Deep Space Nine episode live up to the hype? Maybe not. There are a lot of rules in this episode, and we get the first mention of the Dominion. Plus a lot of rehashed Shakespeare plot from a play two of us performed way back in our high school days. Plus some good old fashioned 90's Gay Panic!
25. Melora
August 01, 2016 08:35 - 51 minutes - 47.8 MBDS9's resident pickup artist, Julian Bashir "falls in love" and has some zero g space sex. We really lay into Julian in this one. We debate some more alien physiology, including turkey wattles and mouth handles in addition to what a lady who grew up flying might look like. How bout that David Foster Wallace reference? Let us know if that alienated you; we love you regardless. Aw, sorry to make it weird again...
Appendix C: Beyond... the Regular Purview of Our Podcast
July 28, 2016 10:49 - 56 minutes - 52.8 MBAn unexpected Podcast Approaches! This isn't DS9! Why, it isn't even Prime! What kind of StarTrek podcast would we be if we didn't have an obligatory review of the new movie? We go beyond our regularly scheduled programing to discuss our feelings on what works, and what we might want to work better in the third movie in the Kelvin timeline, Star Trek: Beyond. We also have some Angry Nerd Corner on some continuity issues involving lore still intact in the Kelvin JJverse For those who haven't ...
24. Cardassians
July 25, 2016 08:24 - 1 hour - 56.6 MBWhilst Julian and Garak flirt at the replimat, a Cardassian boy boards DS9, bites Garak, and sets off a story wherein we actually start to appreciate the character of Julian Bashir. Not nearly as much as we enjoy Garak or Dukat, however. Race issues! Down to a Guess Who's Coming to Dinner scene. This is perhaps the best episode that we've watched since Duet. Also: Why do we love these space nazis so much? Our racist grandpas. Trans-Racialism James has more fodder for his anti Ira Behr libel;...
23. Invasive Procedures
July 18, 2016 08:53 - 49 minutes - 46.3 MBA trill episode! Deep Space Nine has been evacuated, but for completely different reasons than last episode! Jon Glover is a mediocre trill, but he wants a slug of his very own...Dax's slug! He assembles a ragtag team of Western tropes, a confederate and a hooker with a heart of gold, to run a badly planned heist aboard DS9. Stat Trek favorite Tim Russ appears as a pre-Tuvok Klingon! We talk a good deal about the ins and outs and evolution of conjoined races.
22. The Siege
July 11, 2016 10:10 - 58 minutes - 54.4 MBStar Trek goes Star Wars? Blasphemy! But this is an action packed episode where Kira and Dax fly a small X-wing sized ship, and encounter a muppet spider - someone found it at a yard sale (really). Lots to unpack in this one. Wade thinks it's a little weak in the scene transitions; James thinks there's some filler. Oh, and Stephen Weber shows up and blows his chance to portray a bigger character on DS9 later! The grand ending of the the three part beginning of Season 2 of the third Star Trek...
21. The Circle
July 04, 2016 10:58 - 56 minutes - 51.9 MBMake Bajor Great Again! Part Two of the "Li Nalis Trilogy." But rather than figuring out his character, this episode actually focuses more on Kira being kicked off the station. On Bajor, Bareil shows her a homemade porno from the Prophets, but we prefer the sexual energy between the old people because... more Frank Langella! The sexiest of Skeletors. Sisko is a stand up guy to an actor with an interesting Star Trek history. We are yet again mostly complimentary.
20. Homecoming
June 27, 2016 11:35 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MBSeason 2! Resetting from season one. More Bajor politics! Kira sets out to save a war hero. Because an earring. Is he a real hero or looking for a way out? Liberty Valance. Kira and O'Brien take a trip to Star Trek's favorite rock quarry. Is Li Nalas something to hang this three episode arc on or do they forget about him for most of the next episode! But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Oh, and we get into a big conversations about needing legends and symbols. and more.
