Newbie Star Trek – Details, episodes & analysis

Babel! It seems like Star Trek loves viral pandemic episodes in their first seasons, and DS9 is no exception! A lot of this seems oddly... familiar, doesn't it?

A Man Alone! A classic murder mystery plot! Except, maybe, it's not so classic... Odo is immediately implicated, but things don't play out as they seem. Also, Bashir remains super into Jadzia. And I guess Keiko is opening a school. But look over there, it's Quark being really cool! What a show!

Schisms! Does it make sense to have an alien abduction story when you're already in space and hanging out with aliens 24/7? Does it make sense to have an episode where there's not much else to it other than the thinly veiled mystery? Does it make sense for an android to compose and recite dank-ass poetry about his cat? The answer to one of these questions is an emphatic yes. The others? Uh...

Shades of Gray! Sara returns just in time for the worst episode of the season! Potentially the worst of the whole series? What better way to cap off a season than a friggin' clip show! Also, there was so little to discuss for this episode that we also made it into a season recap episode as well! Two podcasts for the price of one! Which is more than Riker's fever dreams can offer us! Comes along for the really cheap, budget-saving ride!

Peak Performance! Wiggle your fingers, everyone, as we dive into a wonderfully procedural wargame episode that probably would've served much better as a finale than the actual season 2 finale did! Will Riker and his crew win against Picard by being huge cheaters? Will Data bust up the suspicious doctor from Total Recall in a game of weird finger chess? And will the Ferengi be horrible stereotypes yet again? The answer to all of these questions is yes, but listen along anyway and see what Ricardo thinks!

The Emissary! This week we're joined by Sara, who is, much like Ricardo, also a newbie to Star Trek! She brings her female energy to the podcast as well as some new fresh opinions! What does the NST crew think about Worf and K'Ehleyr's hot and cold romance? Are Picard and Troi being Hitch, starring Will Smith? How easy is it to trick Klingons who woke up from a really long nap? Tune in to find out!

Manhunt! Lwaxana Troi is back and hornier than ever! Mix that up with some Admiral Ackbar terrorists, Dixon Hill holodeck shenanigans, some overtly analytical Data anecdotes, a hard-drinking Lurch, and some Howard Hawks-esque screwball antics, and you've got yourself a silly stew goin'! Ricardo's been silly, this week, you guys! Again!
