The Shaved Head Era (DS9 S4 : E1 " The Way of the Warrior" Part 1 of 3)
V'Ger Please!
The time has come at last to begin THE PEAK as your heroes begin their epic, three part review of the best Trek movie you have forgotten about "The Way of the Warrior"! To be honest we only get 15 minutes into the episode because there is so much to talk about. The director, the costume changes, the immediacy of the tension, the Klingons, Martok...it's going to take several hours to get through it all, so enjoy this first part!

Enter the KlingRons (Worf Homework Episode)
V'Ger Please!
As we prepare ourselves to delve into the rich peaks of Star Trek's finest run - DS9 Season's 4-7, we decide to take the time to do our homework! With Worf joining the show, we review four key Worf/Klingon lore entries from TNG - "Sins of the Father", "Reunion", and "Redemption Pts 1 and 2" - and discuss the layered politics, Worf's evolution as a man, and a name on all four of the scripts - one Ronald D. Moore.

Weakness Invites Challenge (JTVFX - "The Battle of Wolf 359")
V'Ger Please!
As we prepare to shift gears into DS9's delve into the Federation at war, please enjoy our Patreon episode on the excellent fan film creation "The Battle of Wolf 359" by JTVFX. A work of art and continuity only a true fan could make, we get a striking portriat of the apocolyptic trauma that lopsided fight at Wolf 359 would have produced on Starfleet. Risk might be our business, but what business creates 11,000 dead?

The DS9 Season 3 RIP!
V'Ger Please!
Gather round friends as Joseph and Peter take a rare opportunity to do an in person episode (sorry about the echo) to deliver on their judgements for Deep Space Nine, Season3! After a often thrilling, deep, and overall fantastic ride - what o we rank at the top? The bottom? What was weak? And who was able to hold their own with Sisko?

Among Us : 2371 Edition (DS9 S3 : E26 "The Adversary")
V'Ger Please!
As we reach the end of Season 3 at long last, DS9 previews the horrors to come for the Alpha Quadrant as we review "The Adversary". Our heroes get to play at their own version of "The Thing" as they deal with the haunting reality of an enemy who is a total sociopath and could be anyone or anything on the ship. But hey, at least Sisko is confronting these problems with a full four pips!

The Days of Our Past Lives (DS9 S3 : E25 "Facets")
V'Ger Please!
Our girl Dax goes 0-3 on the season as we review the dissapointing "Facets"! A fun theater kid idea of 'have the cast play all of the Dax hosts' meanders around for around 30 minutes before figuring out what the plot actually is. Can this episode be saved by Rom dropping a fantastic WWE promo on Quark in defense of his son? Probably not!

The Coldest Warriors (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
V'Ger Please!
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.

Swords to Plowshares (DS9 S3 : E24 "Shakaar")
V'Ger Please!
When the government of Bajor has another case of the yips, Kira meets up with her old murderin' friends with great hair as we review "Shakaar"! We get a real mixed bag of an episode as Kai Winn gives a straight up supervillan speech, the surface of Azeroth actually looks a bit messed up for a change, a disposable darts based B plot...all resulting in a jumble that is less then the sum of its parts.

Moogie's Millions (DS9 S3 : E23 "Family Buisness")
V'Ger Please!
Season's Greetings and Good Will Towards Profit as we review "Family Buisness"! When 'ol Jeff of Many Faces shows up as the local Ferengi IRS agent, Quark and Rom deal with the consequences of their mom being a buisness genius. Meanwhile, every member of the DS9 crew is conspiring with Jake to get Sisko hooked up with a local space trucker while comitting some light criminal activity.

The Warp Speed Wood of Azeroth (DS9 S3 : E22 "Explorers")
V'Ger Please!
When the boss grows a beard and gets a fun new hobby, it's going to be a good time for your hosts as we review "Explorers"! After a brief visit to Bajor, Ben comes up with a very suspect new construction project while bonding with Jake, Bashir has a wierd subplot but at least he gets drunk with Miles, and Gul Dukat begins his Friendship Arc.
