In this episode 2 of your favorite crew members discuss and debate the merits of DS9 episode Penumbra. Also, schlocky 90’s intros. And of course Worf hate.

Dr. Bashir becomes very much involved in a Section 31 plot against their “Allies”… the Romulans.
That’s right, it is time once again for another thought-provoking and challenging Section 31 episode.

A murderous sniper is loose on the station. Who can stop the crime?
That is right folks, another Ezri episode! I think it is fair to say this one is a bit more favorable than the last. That is our opinion at least.
Also, could this be subtly one of the more anti-Roddenberry DS9 episodes?
Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to let us know your thoughts in feedback.

We say goodbye to the Mirror Universe (as far as DS9 is concerned at least). Perhaps it slightly overstayed it’s welcome. Do you agree?
Also, what the hell was the deal with Vic?
Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to let us know your thoughts in feedback.

Ezri goes home this week and we get one hell of a mixed bag of an episode. There is some good here. There is (definitely) some bad here. Agree?
Oh, and I forgot… the title doesn’t make any sense.

This week on UP2, Hansen, Chis, and Blair take on the (sneaky good?) Kira and Dukat religious showdown episode, “Covenant.”
Kira is kidnapped away to Empok Nor by Dukat, who has become the leader of a Bajoran Pah-Wraith cult. But is this one of Dukat’s schemes to gain admiration, or is his faith of the Pah-Wraiths genuine?
Tune in to find out, and as always, be sure to leave us your feedback!

During a supply run to AR-558, Sisko finds the defending Starfleet unit with over two-thirds of the troops dead and the remaining soldiers’ morale extremely low.

Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to let us know your thoughts in feedback.
