#220 – ‘His Way’ DS9 S6E20

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!

#219 – ‘Q Who’ TNG S2E16

Q sets Picard up on a fateful blind date.

#217 – ‘Bem’ & ‘The Practical Joker’ TAS S2E02 & 03

Kirk and crew have their hands full dealing with a couple of jokers.

#216 – ‘Cold Fire’ Voyager S2E10

Commander Riker barges into the Star Trek: Enterprise series finale.
