An Empire's Lullaby - Episode 19
An Empires Lullaby
In the finale of DS9 Season 1, a Bajoran spiritual leader with lofty political aspirations arrives to shake things up on the station. Matt and Briar compare the issues Vedek Winn brings up to real-world conflicts between faith and secularism to point out what works, and what could have used a little extra time in the writing room.
info_outlineThis episode deals with war crimes, particularly concentration camps, forced labor, and genocide, as well as questions of structural complicity. Our discussion explores these topics further, working from both the episode’s fictional depiction and the real-world parallels to the Holocaust. We will not be going into the graphic details of any genocides, real or in the show, however, Deep Space 9 has scenes where characters go into graphic detail about the conditions in the Gallitep labor camp.
For those of you unfamiliar with this practice, we include content/trigger warnings in our show in order to increase accessibility. These warnings let our listeners who may have trauma and triggers decide whether or not they want to engage with the content, and if they do decide to engage, these warnings let them take whatever preparations they need to in order to engage safely.
A special thanks to Briar's friends: kerys and Tali for helping us write out the content warning. It would not have been nearly as well-written without your assistance.
