A digital daemon pulls a fast one on Odo and Kira. Join your overly-festive hosts as they discuss groovy tunes, 1960’s dating advice filtered through a 1990’s lens, and the creepy undercurrents of an ostensibly sweet episode. Also some Star Trek Christmas silliness since this episode was released on Christmas day.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!
