Soap Operas, Starships, and the Paris/Locarno Thing The Sistas got to sit down with the one and only Robert Duncan McNeill.

This week on Trek Geeks, Bill and Dan are donning their tuxedos (metaphorically, of course) and ordering their martinis "shaken, not stirred" as they dive into the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine classic, Our Man Bashir! Join us for a lively discussion of this holosuite caper that combines Star Trek's charm with a healthy dose of spy genre flair. But wait—there's more! The guys simply can't help themselves, so prepare for an avalanche of references to James Bond, Austin Powers, Our Man Flint, and even Matt Helm. From Sean Connery's suave moves to Mike Myers' groovy antics, nothing is off-limits as they connect the dots between 1960s spy kitsch and the future of Starfleet. You'll laugh, you'll groan (at Dan, mostly), and you might even be inspired to watch a Bond flick or two after this episode. Is this their most over-the-top discussion yet? Possibly. Is it a blast? Absolutely. Don't miss it! Grab your gadgets, geeks—this mission is about to self-destruct in 3… 2… 1…
Bill and Dan return to the mic and take on the classic DS9 episode, "Little Green Men!" On a trip to deliver Nog to Starfleet Acadamy in Quark's brand new shuttle, Quark, Rom, and Nog time travel and crash land in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 becoming the first extra terrestrials to visit Earth--and possibly to negotiate a deal for profit! Will Quark take over the planet? How will they get home? Plus, don't forget about the premiere of "Thursday Night Geeks," the livestream from Trek Geeks premiering on Thursday, January 30th at 8pm ET! Are you ready for some Star Trek? ;)
