The Coldest Warriors (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

V'Ger Please!

Release Date: 01/08/2026

The Man With The Golden Phaser (DS9 S4 : E10 The Man With The Golden Phaser (DS9 S4 : E10 "Our Man Bashir")

V'Ger Please!

Joseph is shaken, but Peter is not stirred as we review the episode made for your wyes only, "Our Man Bashir". While one host is oriented towards letting it live, the other might as well let it die! When Garak gets insight into Bashir's fantasy life, it sure is a a view to a kill, as the good doctor enjoys is Octopussy, but soon a space dilema hits where the crew will infact not live twice...but only once! With one character definitely playing a spy who loves him, our trusty duo may not have a license to kill anyone, but they will definitely will prove that on Deep Space Nine, it's no time to...

Indiana Dax and the Temple of Dumb (DS9 S4 : E9 Indiana Dax and the Temple of Dumb (DS9 S4 : E9 "The Sword of Kahless")

V'Ger Please!

Good news everyone, Dax finally has some agency, it's just in someone else's plot as we review "The Sword of Khaless"! What could have been a very good an interesting idea is utterly wasted by absurdly rushing it as Kor, Worf, and Dax have their little adventure together. Turns out the major cplaint we had with this one is the same complaint the had back in 1995, so some things never change!

The Original Learing Center (DS9 S4 : E8 The Original Learing Center (DS9 S4 : E8 "Little Green Men")

V'Ger Please!

Nothing quite like a below rate Ferengi Nonsense Episode to get your hosts talking about litterally anything else as we do our best to review "Little Green Men". After discussing the true A plot of Ferengi racisim, we don't have much to say about this goofball slop. However, if you want our deep opinions about Star Trek: United, this is absolutly the episode for you!

V'Ger Please!

Once perma-locked behind our Patreon walls, sometimes the ediotr of this podcast needs a break....which means sometimes years old content can make it's debut on the grand stage! Years ago, your hosts followed up on the strangest in-joke our show ever had about a single Season 5 episode of Voyager and bad mid 90's comic book films and reviewed "Tank Girl"! Your hosts really did not enjoy this. We may not have been sober at the time of recording. But it may very well be the funniest things we have ever said on the internet.

Disaster : Part Deux (DS9 S4 : E7 Disaster : Part Deux (DS9 S4 : E7 "Starship Down")

V'Ger Please!

Whats old can be new again as we review the stikingly familiar "Starship Down"! Listen, sometimes immitation can both be flattery and pretty dang good when we hit the replay button on a TNG favorite, switch up what Worf and O'Brien were doing, add in some James Cromwell getting addicted to gambling by Quark, and sprinkle in some "Das Boot" for good measure.

Hot Trill Tongue Action (DS9 S4 : E6 Hot Trill Tongue Action (DS9 S4 : E6 "Rejoined")

V'Ger Please!

Your Intepid-class podcasters are forced to review a Very Special Episode that absolutly does not deliver when we endure "Rejoined"! After we describe the plot in about eight words....uh...well what else is there to do except go over Peter's sketchy search history, rewrite the script about 3098 times, and ultimiatly decide that if you don't build an actual story around it, then the kiss isn't very interesting in the end. Also? The Trill stink.

Oops, I Had A Love Child (DS9 S4 : E5 Oops, I Had A Love Child (DS9 S4 : E5 "Indiscression")

V'Ger Please!

Nothing quite like spicing up your road trip with Cassanova Dukat as we review "Indiscressions". Fresh off his promotional experience, everyone's favorite frenemy gets himself invited along as Kira hunts for survivors of a lost prison ship. While these two chums speed run their way through "The Searchers", Sisko takes on relationship advice from everyone...yes, even Bashir!

MK Ultra Activated (DS9 S4 : E4 MK Ultra Activated (DS9 S4 : E4 "Hippocratic Oath")

V'Ger Please!

Miles and Julian have the worst kind of friendship adventure as we review "Hippocratic Oath"! When Man Who Acts Real Good Through Reptile Makeup takes our bromance pair hostage, we finally get to see the office/enlisted man divide in stark form. More than that, we see that the CHief has lost none of his Space Vietnam edge! As for the B-plot, we get the Detective Worf story we didn't want, yet still somehow needed. 

info_outline
The Warp Core Hungers (DS9 S4 : E3 The Warp Core Hungers (DS9 S4 : E3 "The Visitor")

V'Ger Please!

Strap yourself in to shed that one, big manly tear as we review DS9 going right for the fatherhood feelings as we watch "The Visitor". When the Defiant Warp Core requires another soul to claim, Captian Sisko gets trapped in a space-time waiting room. We get a truly powerful dramatic entry as we watch two actors portray a vision of Jake that cannot move on from his father's dissaperance. Is the plot a bit thin and ram-rodded? Sure, but when the acting is this good...who cares?

Angry Torpedo Noises (DS9 S4: E1 Angry Torpedo Noises (DS9 S4: E1 "The Way of the Warrior" Part 3 of 3)

V'Ger Please!

At long last, Joseph and Peter wrap up their discussion of "Way of the Warrior" as we cover all the big moments. From Worf getting caught up on three seasons worth of Cardassian plot, to Quark and Garak having a conversation about Federation exceptionalisim (even if they resent it), to the big showdown where every main character collects a few notches on the kill count. The big time of DS9 has arrived at last!

More Episodes

We take a quick detour into our Patreon vaults (due to podcaster illness) and share our review of Joseph's favorite piece of Star Trek media - "The Undiscovered Country"! When the Klingons get a bad case of the Space Chernobyls, we get a film that serves as the true entrypoint of 'realpolitik Trek'. We get Shakespeare quoting bad guys, prison breaks, dramatic space battles, and Cold War political struggles that still work to this day.
