Direct from Andy's parents' apartment, here's your delayed ep of DS9 TNC! Bashir and Dax visit a planet of diseased folks - can Bashir save them? Or will he get too mired in his teddy bear story? We canceled our deaths for you, crew! We were really looking forward to it.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:07]
In a plot-packed thrill ride, the crew team up with the Gom Jabbars (or so Jay Leno thinks), Jeffrey Combs continues his unbroken Trek character home run streak, and Matt and Andy pause from asking, "Why isn't Odo using his T-1000 hands?" to ask, "Why did they wait so long to bring Odo in to use his T-1000 hands?"
[Episode discussion begins around 1:25]
An Andy's Theory (or prediction?) finally comes true - SECUNDA!! And is Kasidy Yates up to something? The crew continues to discuss her whether she's onscreen or off.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:38 (!)]

Jake gets an alien writing teacher who wants to teach him how to be a famous writer and Lwaxana is back in town! Lwaxana and Jake-writing-episode fans rejoice!
[Episode discussion begins around 1:20ish (sort of, there are more digressions after that 🖖)]
After a casual hang with Mirror Jennifer Sisko, Jake and Ben take a day trip back to the Mirror Universe to help MirrO'Brien fix up the the MirroDefiant. Meanwhile, is that Mirror Bashir? Or someone who's playing the villain in a childrens' play?
[Episode discussion begins around 56:00]
O'Brien torture porn in full swing! The Chief is put behind bars... and when he gets out Bashir can't wait to box out Keiko for their reunion! [ENDING WAS CLIPPED, DELETE AND RE-UPLOAD IF IT IS]
[Episode discussion begins around 1:09]
Sisko takes time out of running the station to defend Worf from being too Klingon-y. Is it another great Trek legal foray or will this episode be overruled by Matt or Andy?
[Episode discussion begins around 1:12]
The Sisko is joined by another guy who thinks he's the Emmisary (what, can ANYBODY call themselves an emmisary?) and quiet discussion ensues! Oh, and a casual homicide. And the boys asks the question: have Bajorans always been religious kooks?
[Episode discussion begins around 53:00]
Rom becomes a union man! O'Brien reveals just how bored he was on the Enterprise! And Worf...is vaguely disgruntled with living on DS9?
[Episode discussion begins around 1:15]
Tony Todd returns, killing it as Kurn as he demands that Worf kills him! Is Worf's solution honorable or extra weird and messed up?
[Episode discussion begins around 55:00]
It's back-to-back weirdos being weird about Kira, but this time it's Dukat! In an A plot that runs the length of the episode without check-ins back at the station, Kira and the ex-Gul enter a game of cat and mouse (or Bird of Prey and defrocked Cardassian?) and Matt and Andy are along for the ride.
[Episode discussion begins around 45:00]
Kira forgets about Odo in this heart-breaking, difficult-to-watch, but undeniably great episode. And Odo FINALLY doesn't forget to use his T-1000 silver weapon hands to do SOMETHING.
[Episode discussion begins around 51:00]
Is a badmiral trying to Make Earth Great Again? Has Avery Brooks finally found a plot to match the size of his performance? And can he outsmart Not Nick Lacarno from Not Nova Squadron? Either way, Not Leah Brahms may save the day!
Happy Gratitude festival, crew! We are gratitudinal for all of you.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:15]
Dangers abound back in Sector 001 and that means it's time for a Sisko family vay-cay! Ben and his dad perform at the top of their lungs, Odo escapes Dax's merciless bullying to go seagull-to-seagull with the changelings, while Leah Brahms returns in her secret identity!
[Episode discussion begins around 50:00]
Is Bashir the greatest Bond of all? If so, nobody tell Cubby Broccoli's legal department!
[Episode discussion begins around 1:01]
Worf joins Dax and his celebrity crush Kor for the grandest adventure of all until the Klingons go inexplicably insane.
[Episode discussion begins around 58:00]
In this delightful time-travel romp, the Ferengi trio jaunt over to apparently nearby Earth and find themselves Roswelled! And does Odo/James Cromwell eat/murder a dog? Matt and Andy discuss!
[Episode discussion begins around 1:02, MAN OF STEEL and Donner SUPERMAN spoilers around 28:00ish]
Sisko is out of commission, Kira finally learns how to treat him like a regular friend and not with all the reverence due the Emissary (had she been doing that?), Worf plays out the ol' "person suddenly in command who needs to learn how to be command" trope, and Bashir and Dax get cracking on retconning Bashir. But don't forget about Odo! Actually, you probably can except for one scene.
[Episode discussion begins around 1:23 - ...
Dax decides between a hook-up with the Borg Queen (sorta) or exile. Is resistance futile? And Matt and Andy ask (Seinfeld voice) "WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH TRILLS?"
[Episode discussion begins around 49:00]
Can two DS9 characters have a conversation without it being about Kasidy Yates? Not many of these scenes pass the Yates test! And does Dukat have a heart, and if so is it filled with cold blood?
[Episode discussion begins around 1:10]
