Star Trek The Next Conversation - a semi funny trashfire of a Star Trek podcast currently about TV's Deep Space Nine DS9 (or TNG)

Kai Winn continues to be one of the most duplicitous, unpalatable, self-serving, hypocritical leaders in Trek history - whew! Thank goodness it's just sci-fi.

[Episode discussion begins around  1:12]

We're goin' to Feringinar! Quark and Rom hit the Ferengi homeworld to SETTLE SOME BUSINESS! Is this a second downbeat episode in a row? Is the next one gonna be Bashir and Dax go to a thrift shop? Anyhoo, Matt tallies up the Andy-points but can the episode go latinum?

[Episode discussion begins around 1:07]

Ben and Jake sail through the universe powered by the ultimate B plot! Or is it just a plot? Meanwhile, Matt hasn't been feeling well and Andy's got a Thomas Riker-sized existential crisis, but so what else is new?

[Episode discussion begins around 1:21, also trigger warning in the first 20 min for those sensitive to hearing about, um...tummy issues]

Garak goes full Obsidian Order, Odo needs a moisturizing routine, Eddington secures his place as Cmdr. F This Guy, and Andy fights an even greater threat to a podcaster than the Dominion...a sneezing fit!

[Episode discussion begins around 1:16. And this is a HIDE YOUR NUTS ALERT! Due to a scheduling...mm, issue? The next drop will be middle of the month.] 

It's a road trip with Garak and Odo (who we probably shouldn't forget about)! Will they solve the mysteries of what's happening on DS9? Or is Garak too much of a lazybones?

[Episode discussion begins around 1:30. 45ish - Disco Spoiler, 2:33 - possible later DS9 spoilers, although it’s mostly Andy musing]

Bashir grapples with aspects of himself...like his professionalism! And his great love of tennis! It kinda doesn't really go beyond that.

[Episode discussion begins around 1:23]

O'Brien goes all Back to the Future 2, Bashir kills him and doesn't seem to care, and Matt and Andy ask who's the real MVC? O'Brien...or O'Brien??

[Episode discussion begins around 1:14]

The sparks fly between O'Brien and a filthy Cardie, while Andy asks how long we'll be watching Kira's new haircut, and Matt continues his lobbying for the Dominion.

[Episode discussion begins around 1:05ish]

Kira faces becoming a permanently encased-in-resin collectible as Odo reveals a hidden - or possibly already pretty obvious - truth! Meanwhile Sisko performs a one man intervention scene on Nog in Nog's best ep so far. [Episode discussion begins around 1:07. And you know what they say about the winter and nuts...it's a great time to eat heated ones!]

Kai Winn returns to DS9 with an evil...nothing? And Bareil sings his swansong as only he can...tediously.

[Episode discussion begins around 1:17]

The second part of DS9's eerie vision of the "past" (aka 2024) as Sisko continues to masquerade as "Bell, Gabriel Bell" (Bond theme) while Frank Military continues to be an intimidating criminal to no one.

[Episode discussion begins around 1:10]

In tense times, TNC is there to talk about episodes of Star Trek that throw back to exactly the same year with different tense times, but is that what they meant by the title? Also we ask the eternal question, "Is Frank Military a made-up name?"

[Episode discussion begins around 1:01]

Everybody's in love with everybody! Just like Naked Now, except crappy and with less sense! And also the return of the oozing non-sexuality of Bareil!

[Episode discussion begins around 1:30ish]

The crew of DS9 get a visit...from an old friend. OR IS IT?

[Episode discussion begins around 1:37ish]

Jadzia is hot for a bland douchebag, Quark tries to pull some Barclay creepology with Kira, and Andy has a new theory about Sisko.

[Episode discussion begins around 1:05ish]
