Podcasts about bajorans

Peldar joi, everyone! It's time for a festival celebration at TrekRanks as we take on the “Top 5 Bajoran Episodes” with our expert panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Brooke Horton and Duncan Barrett. Since their debut on The Next Generation, Bajorans have provided some of the most layered and contextualized storytelling in all of Star Trek, and this episode gets deep into the cultural, religious and historical context Bajorans have provided throughout Deep Space Nine and beyond. This one includes quite a few hot takes, just like your favorite hasperat, made with the most tongue-searing, spicy brine! Episode Rundown:  Diagnostic Cycle: Where we briefly get into the details of defining the show's specific topic and run through a roll call of previous “species” featured on TrekRanks. Prime Directive: Each guest on this week's panel reveals exactly how they narrowed down their list and made their final choices. The Order of Things: All the picks are revealed with the TrekRanks' original “Five words and a hashtag” summary. Secondary Systems: For a few extra picks that just missed our final list. Regeneration Cycle: The panel recaps their picks and we dissect some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion. Temporal Inversion: We flashback to a previous episode of TrekRanks and relay some of the feedback received from listeners. If you have your own picks you would like to relay to us, please hail us at 757-828-RANK (7265) and record your own personal TrekRanks log to let us know your Top 5 Bajoran Episodes.

“The Storyteller” 30th-anniversary reflections An uninvited guest menaces a Bajoran village and only one man can save the day: Miles O'Brien. At least that's what he has been told. There's just one problem, the solution relies on his storytelling skills, and he's nowhere near as talkative as his new buddy, Julian Bashir. Can he engineer a yarn to chase away the cloud creature? Meanwhile, Sisko mediates a territorial dispute between two Bajoran villages and Nog flirts with one of the leaders. But the real action is down on the planet. The Sirah has left the building, the Dal'Rok has arrived, and a bucket of oatmeal ain't gonna chase it away. In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss “The Storyteller,” how a long-dismissed idea finally found a home on DS9, the search for Bajoran identity, and what the story has to say about the importance of fathers and the power of collective belief.

This episode contains: Devon is single dadding it, while Jen is in Buenos Aires. Devon also admits that he didn't "get" Starship Troopers. Steven is about to spend soooooo much money at Disney, again. The duo go on and on about Easter, it's kinda pathetic. But then Devon starts talking about Kafka and a life sized Tinker Bell. Either you get it or you don't.    Robot Overlords: Scientists have decided that robots need to smile and everything is going to end soon, so why not? They built a robot face, then gave it a mirror so it could learn how to make faces like a human. Then it was trained on people smiling and learned to detect when a human is going to smile about 840 milliseconds before they do, so that they can make a co-expression with them.  They named this robot 'Emo'. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240327154854.htm    This Week in Space: Two of the Milky Way's earliest building blocks identified. Astronomers have identified what could be two of the Milky Way's earliest building blocks: Named 'Shakti' and 'Shiva', these appear to be the remnants of two galaxies that merged between 12 and 13 billion years ago with an early version of the Milky Way, contributing to our home galaxy's initial growth. It turns out that the metals in some stars were a dead giveaway that they were much older than the stars around them. As amazing as this is, Steven gets distracted by the name Shakti and immediatly stars talking about the Jedi Shak Ti.  https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240321155515.htm    Book Club: Falling Bodies (The Far Reaches Collection) by Rebecca Roanhorse.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4QJBCFV?ref_=k4w_ss_details_rh  Devon starts us out with a stellar summary of the story. We chat about the Genteel and make allusions to what they mean in the context of the story. Devon slips into some Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes to talk about the Cardassians and the Bajorans...and Nazis.  Next book we will cover is Just Out of Jupiter's Reach (The Far Reaches collection) by Nnedi Okorafor. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C4QR4SX7?ref_=dbs_m_aos_rwt_calw_tkin_4&storeType=ebooks 

The Bajorans give refugees the cold shoulder, the crew is SHOCKED at a matriarchal society, and the Universal Translator has more trouble with a new species than it even did in Darmok.[Episode discussion begins around 1:20ish, along with a lot of hails demanding we not tamper with the length (!)]FYI, if any of our Patreon crew have had problems with stupid Patreon rejecting your membership fees, please let us know.www.patreon.com/startrektnc

We meet a new friend and crewmember! Ensign Ro originates the Bajoran people who will come to be a huge ass part of the Star Trek canon. Michelle Forbes returns, having been the daughter in "Half a Life" and knocks Ro's dangerousness and fierceness right out of the park. We learn the Bajorans are a proud people who are down on their luck and that Ro has got some crosses to bear. Luckily, Guinan comes in to guide Picard to trust Ro against the Cardassians, and then she gets a job on the Enterprise. Done and done!

“Those Old Scientists” When the USS Cerritos visits Krulmuth-B to investigate Bradward Boimler's all-time favorite portal, to make sure the portal area is free of any portal problems, the ensign gets sucked into the portal … which is a problem. On the other side he finds himself at the feet of Una Chin-Riley, La'an Noonien-Singh, and Mr. Spock. Stardate: the past. Captain Pike (AKA funny captain) must find a way to return Boimler to his animated future before he can change history—a task that becomes more complicated when Beckett Mariner comes flying through the portal just as Boimler is saying goodbye. With the last bit of known horonium gone, can the crew of the Enterprise find a way to get the two reference-dropping misfits back home? It's down to a coin toss. Do you feel lucky?

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Sacrifice of Angels Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Rebinge Deep Space Nine S6E6: Sacrifice of Angels. In this episode, Sisko and the Federation fleet try to break through the Dominion barrier and re-take Deep Space Nine but some angels must be sacrificed as the drama of this episode unfolds. We wrap up a big story arc with a slew of guest stars in Marc Alaimo (Dukat), Jeffrey Combs (Weyoun), Casey Biggs (Damar), Melanie Smith (Ziyal), Andrew Robinson (Garak) and Salome Jens (evil changeling). Sacrifice of Angels In Sacrifice of Angels, everything appears bleak as the Federation fleet faces a much stronger enemy while trying not to give up hope. Even when Sisko and the Defiant break through enemy lines, hope of success is nearly gone. Meanwhile, Kira and her cohorts have been jailed to thwart any rebellion, leaving some unlikely heroes to emerge. The Federation's only chance now hinges on Quark and Odo! Will Quark find a way to help his friends rather than hide behind the bar? Will Odo finally pull his head out of the Great Link (literally) and take action? What's this rebinge thing? It's a re-watch of a thing you've already seen but love to watch and talk about. We go deep with every episode, walking you through every scene and analyzing all of the characters and story lines.

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: In the Cards Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 5 episode 25 of Rebinge Deep Space Nine: In the Cards where we mix a light-hearted story (Jake and Nog) with one of gloom and doom (Kai Winn's fear of the Dominion). It's always great to have the the character of Kai Winn back in an episode but it comes on the heels of the announcement of Louise Fletcher's death at the age of 88. While we lose another great member of the Star Trek family, her contributions to the franchise will live on forever. In the Cards Sisko (and everyone else) are depressed and weary from the Dominion war. Jake and Nog decide to try and cheer up Sisko by obtaining a very rare baseball card. While they are working on that plan, they get inadvertently tangled in the precarious relationship between Bajor and the Dominion. What's this rebinge thing?

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Empok Nor Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 5 episode 24 of Rebinge Deep Space Nine: Empok Nor. In this episode we visit an abandoned version of our station and end up in the middle of a horror movie. The good news is, Garak is in this episode to bring some of his usual wit and craziness. The bad news is a lot of red (yellow) shirts bite the dust! Empok Nor We raid Empok Nor for equipment compatible with DS9, but even though we know the place is going to be full of traps we are not at all careful and bad things happen. Red shirts die. Garak goes a little nutty. Miles makes some very bad decisions. Bad bad bad. But a fun episode to watch! What's this rebinge thing?

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Blaze of Glory Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 5 episode 23 of Rebinge Deep Space Nine: Blaze of Glory. Ken Marshall is back as Snodgrass/Eddington! And it's like nothing has changed - he's still wearing his over-sized rebel jacket and he's as smug as ever! Sadly...there is still no singing in this episode! Blaze of Glory The Klingons intercept a message about an attack by the Maquis and Sisko leaps into action. He pulls Eddington (aka Snodgrass) out of his tiny jail cell with his giant jacket and takes him on a mission to stop the missiles. Well....Snoddy has some tricks up those over-sized sleeves and Sisko is not amused. What's this rebinge thing? It's a re-watch of a thing you've already seen but love to watch and talk about.

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Children of Time Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 5 episode 22 of Rebinge Deep Space Nine: Children of Time where we have some time travel shenanigans! But really what are the best kind of shenanigans? Time travel shenanigans! There are some truly unexpected things in this episode: first Odo is going to be a hunk in a couple hundred years and second being Klingon is a matter of choice. These are not things I knew prior to watching Children of Time. Children of Time The crew is on its way back from some work in the Gamma Quadrant (no idea why we still go there) when Dax wants to stop off to see some sciencey stuff. Unfortunately that leads us into some serious trouble when we land on a planet full of the crew's descendants. That wouldn't be so bad except these people can't exist unless the Defiant goes back in time, stranding everyone forever. What's this rebinge thing?

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Soldiers of the Empire Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 5 episode 21 of Rebinge Deep Space Nine: Soldiers of the Empire where we bounce from Ferengi nonsense to Klingon honor! This week we spend a lot of time on a smoky, dark Klingon ship with melodrama, drinking and hand-to-hand combat. And in great news, we welcome back recurring character Martok played by J.G. Hertzler who coincidentally just appeared on an episode of Star Trek Lower Decks! Soldiers of the Empire When Martok is called upon by the Klingon empire to locate a missing Klingon ship, he finds himself in an unfamiliar position: he is cautious and afraid! Turns out his time in the Jem'Hadar internment camp had some lasting effects on the grizzled general. But never fear, Worf is here to remind him of his warrior heart!

Guest stars Jeffrey Combs as Brunt and Wallace Shawn as the Grand Nagus Zek return but a new actress (Cecily Adams) appears as Ishka (Quark's mom). We've got a whole lot of Ferengi nonsense in this episode, so brace yourselves! Ferengi Love Songs When Quark heads back to his home planet to whine to his mother about his own failings, he learns his mother is having an affair with Zek. He also learns that Zek's mental abilities are declining and his mother has been supporting him! In addition to this news, Quark has to deal with Brunt always on his tail about everything. Meanwhile back on the station, Dax and Miles are not being supportive friends to Rom who is busy making his own bad decisions. What's this rebinge thing?

Lawrence Pressman returns as Tekeny Ghemor a Cardassian father figure to Kira. We also have an unpleasant visit from Gul Dukat (Marc Alaimo) and Weyoun #3 (Jeffrey Combs). Ties of Blood and Water When Tekeny Ghemor returns to the station, Kira is all excited and ready to treat him like a head of state, but he arrives with some bad news. As Kira tries to help Tekeny complete a Cardassian ritual, she flashes back to some difficult moments with her own Bajoran father and is forced to face some regrets. What's this rebinge thing?

In this episode, Quark gets into arms dealing and can't get himself out. We've got guest stars Steven Berkoff, Josh Pais and a brief appearance by Lawrence Tierney. Business as Usual When Quark is down to his last strip of latinum, his cousin Gaila turns up with an offer Quark can't refuse...and that's how Quark ends up as an arms dealer. He pretty quickly regrets getting into this business when he realizes he's selling weapons to very dangerous people (duh)! What's this rebinge thing?

Time for Odo to get a girlfriend and it's played by a very human-looking alien named Arissa played by Dey Young. But, of course, nothing is truly simple because Arissa has a couple of big secrets. A Simple Investigation Odo meets a woman in Quark's bar and after she pays him a compliment, Odo seems to fall head over heels in love with her. After a few missteps, Odo does get the girl, but there are a lot of secrets for him to uncover. Ultimately it's a bit of a tragic love story for Odo but he does finally get to make out someone which seems to make him very (briefly) happy. What's this rebinge thing?

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Doctor Bashir, I Presume Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 5 episode 16 of Rebinge Deep Space Nine: Doctor Bashir, I Presume! We move on from the very serious two-parter involving the Dominion into something less dramatic and certainly narrower in scope! Robert Picardo from Voyager fame joins us as the cantankerous Dr. Lewis Zimmerman intent on turning Julian into a holographic long term medical hologram! Also joining our extremely lively discussion this week is our favorite guest host, local artist Attiba Royster of the Teebs and Kid Phoenix Vs podcast. Check out Attiba's art here, it's pretty awesome! Doctor Bashir, I Presume Dr. Zimmerman has arrived to do an intense study into all things Julian and to do this he must interview everyone who knows Julian, including his parents. When Julian's parents arrive, Julian unravels a bit as we start to find some secrets in the Bashir family closet. There is also a B-story in this episode where Leeta (played by Chase Masterson) tries to get Rom's romantic attention and it does not go well. What's this rebinge thing?

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: By Inferno's Light Hello Star Trek fans! Welcome to Season 5 episode 15 of Rebinge Deep Space Nine: By Inferno's Light! We wrap up our two-part story with lots of guest stars! We have Marc Alaimo as Gul Dukat, Melanie Smith as Ziyal, Andrew Robinson as Garak, JG Heltzler as Martok and Robert O'Reilly as Gowron. Not only do we need to survive the onslaught of Jem'Hadar ships from the end of last week's episode but we need to get Worf back to the Alpha Quadrant! By Inferno's Light We quickly put the death of Garak's dad behind us and try to figure out how to get the heck out of the internment camp. Back on the station we learn that Dukat has been up to no good for a long time and has aligned himself with the Dominion in order to become ruler of all of Cardassia (this seems like a very short-sighted plan). But maybe the biggest secret in this episode is the dark plan that Dukat and the Dominion have to destroy the Bajoran sun. Yikes! What's this rebinge thing?

Last week we had Eddington back, this week it's Garak! Worf and Garak head out on a mission together and really everything goes wrong from there. It's good to have Garak back in an episode but unfortunately we also have to put up with Gul Dukat. Along with some drama, we get several big surprises in this episode! In Purgatory's Shadow When a mysterious Cardassian message is received from deep in the Gamma Quadrant, Garak tries to sneak away in a runabout. Turns out the message is from Enabran Tain (Dad!) and Garak feels obligated to follow the lead. Sisko agrees, but sends Worf along to keep an eye on things. Well nothing good ever happens in the Gamma Quadrant and today is no different. What's this rebinge thing? It's a re-watch of a thing you've already seen but love to watch and talk about.
