It's Bank Holiday Monday, so let's take it easy and talk about some comics. After promising it early in the show's history, Charlie's finally read the first arc of IDW's Star Trek comic by Lanzig & Kelly. Look, we're Casual Trek, this is the level of service you get from us.The first arc, “Godshock” features that classic Star Trek concept: thumbing your teeth at god, only this time it's a bad thing as someone's killing gigantic cosmic entities! Who did this and how can it be stopped? Well, Ben Sisko's back from his time as a cosmic entity to find out, with an almost all-star cast of people from throughout Star Trek History. There's Data and Dr Crusher from TNG, Paris from Voyager, Scotty from TOS and Jake Sisko is also there. Worf guest stars for long enough to be a bad parent and back door pilot for another series, and there are a couple of new characters who are a lot of fun.Join us on the USS Theseus and prepare for a lot of tangents, as we both love talking comics.References: The Super Stalag of Space, Harry 20 on the High Rock, Dan Dare, Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation Squared, Quatermass and the Pit, The Legion of Super-Heroes, The Legion Clubhouse, comic collection sizes, YES Charlie has put rolled-up Walking Dead volumes in his back pocket, the Bendis New Avengers approach to team-building, Billy Pilgrim, The Krakoan Age of X-Men, Marvel Swimsuit Specials (which are coming back), release a Star Trek Swimsuit Special you cowards!, Data pages vs data pages, Gilmore Girls spoiled Anna Karenina for me, Charlie's Super Mario Quest 2025, the Summers family tree, the Dark Horse Buffy Series, Marvel's Star Wars, Dr Who comics, the Energon Universe, the CLZ collector's app, Malibu Comics' Star Trek… Oh, and sometimes IDW's Star Trek.

6. Mai 1996: Für Kasidy Yates und Ben Sisko hängt der Himmel voller Geigen, doch ein Geheimdienstreport schiebt dunkle Wolken davor – die patente Frachterkapitänin und Geliebte des DS9-Chefs könnte mit den Maquis unter einer Decke stecken, als Spediteurin für die Abtrünnigen arbeiten. Unterdessen macht sich Garak große Sorgen, weil Ziyal, die Tochter seines Erzfeindes Dukat, mit ihm Zeit verbringen möchte. In Deutschland: In eigener Sache, ausgestrahlt am 7. November 1996.

This week we have to focus on The Next Generation (and not Ben Sisko) as we discuss TNG's The Emissary. It isn't so bad - a cool new lady and her million costumes have shown up! So strap into a space coffin with us as we discuss diplomatic dead ends, poker, and getting sky married.

OUTSIDE CONTEXT PROBLEMS. Ben Sisko just wants to hang out with his son in the Gamma Quadrant, but Quark wants to advertise his bar on the station monitors. Something's gotta give and it turns out the entire Star Trek format gets sacrificed to tell this story as the DS9 writers looked to differentiate their show from TNG -- and boy do they! Is the destruction of a Galaxy-class starship a traumatic moment in Bryan's life? Does the introduction of The Dominion equal Strange New Worlds' take on the Gorn? Listen and find out. The grades begin at (22:09).

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Series 6, Episode 13. First broadcast on Monday 2 November 1998. Some time in 2374, Ben Sisko, tired of helming Deep Space Nine in wartime, considers handing the job over to someone else. At the same time but in 1953, Benny Russell dreams of a version of himself living beyond the daily indignities of existing as a Black man in America. And meanwhile in 1998, people tuning in for this week's episode of White People Living on the Moon find themselves watching something far better than they had a right to expect.

[Discovery 503 review starts at 23:00] Anthony gives an update on the Star Trek prequel movie, then he and Laurie dig in to the latest on the Paramount/Skydance talks, talking about why shareholders aren’t thrilled about Shari Redstone’s plans and what that could mean. They discuss the new offerings from the Roddenberry Archive and new Star Trek-branded coffee, then turn their attention to Star Trek: Discovery. They talk about showrunner Michelle Paradise’s reasons for using TNG’s “The Chase” as an inspiration for the season, plus Mary Wiseman’s (not-so) cryptic comments about the Starfleet Academy show, and play some audio from Laurie’s recent interview with Wilson Cruz on the same topic. They briefly chat about the “This season on…” trailer and then dive into their review of Discovery episode 503, “Jinaal,” talking about Wilson Cruz’s strong performance, Trill mythology, the challenges of juggling multiple stories where some are less compelling than others, and more. Then it’s time for their bits of the week: Ernie Hudson’s description of auditioning to play Deep Space Nine‘s Ben Sisko and a podcast about Leonard Nimoy and the early days of Star Trek fandom with Bonnie Moss.

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) gaze into a “Shattered Mirror” as we return to the Mirror Universe with Jennifer Sisko. We praise Cirroc Lofton's acting in this episode, we analyze all of Ben Sisko's actions that have led to this single episode and we revel in the hilarity of this ridiculous but fun episode of Star Trek. We both wonder if Sisko has the heighest kill count of any Federation Captain and Jo rants about how much she loves tall women. As always, be prepared that spoilers may be lurking around every corner just like Garak on Empok Nor.Subscribe for weekly recaps of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, follow us online at @TerokNoir on Twitter for silly memes and polls and contact us by e-mail at teroknoirpod@gmail.com

9. Januar 1995: Fortsetzung von letzter Woche. Star Trek wird politisch laut wie zuletzt in den 60s – und Ben Sisko wird "Gabriel Bell" beim Versuch, den Lauf der Geschichte an einem kritischen Punkt des 21. Jahrhunderts zu bewahren. Als Geiselnehmer wider Willen bereitet ihm nicht bloß Hitzkopf und Errol-Flynn-Fanboy Biddle Coleridge Probleme, sondern auch einer der Gefangenen, der bärbeißige Dick Miller. In Deutschland: Gefangen in der Vergangenheit, Teil 2, ausgestrahlt am 28. Februar 1996.

1. Mai 1994: Fortsetzung von vorletzter Woche. Es ist leicht, ein Heiliger im Paradies zu sein! Mit dieser Bombshell von einer Ansage erschüttert Ben Sisko die Grundfesten der Roddenberryschen Utopie und regt Simon & Sebastian zu einer ausführlichen, wenn auch ergebnisoffenen Diskussion über den Status quo im Star-Trek-Universum an. Nebenbei geht auch die Gründungsgeschichte des DMZ-Widerstands weiter. In Deutschland: Der Maquis, Teil 2, ausgestrahlt am 26. September 1994.

They talk about the Ben Sisko autobiography on the way, Paramount Plus' affirmation that there's still a Section 31 show in development, Michelle Yeoh's increasing star power, and the possibilities of Enterprise characters finding their way into the new Trek shows, with some input on the idea from new interviews with Scott Bakula and John Billingsley.

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (they/them) are stranded in "Paradise" along with Sisko and Miles while they discuss the technology free colony that Alixus has created and they wonder who is in charge of the station when Sisko/Kira/Dax/O'Brien are all off the station. Also they spend little extra time talking about the deep questions this episode raises around technology, control and how both impact our lives and the world around us. Matthew asks if Miles is a chronic lier and lies his way into various jobs in Starfleet and Jo rants about the retconning of Ben Sisko's father being dead/not dead. As always, be prepared that spoilers may be lurking around every corner just like Garak on Empok Nor.  Subscribe for weekly recaps of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, follow us online at @TerokNoir on Twitter & Hive for silly memes and polls and contact us by e-mail at teroknoirpod@gmail.com

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Series 6, Episode 19. First broadcast on Wednesday, 15 April 1998. This week, we discuss one of Star Trek's most sacred texts — a forty-five minute Ben Sisko soliloquy, in which he saves the galaxy in a trolley problem of Garak's devising, killing in the process a Romulan Senator, an obnoxious blue guy and at least one really hot Romulan bodyguard. Is this a great episode, a truly great episode, or something else altogether?

In this episode, the gang compares how Ben Sisko deals with Cassidy Yates with how Michael Burnham deals with Cleveland Booker. We also discuss the scene with Culber and Stamets and the distress he personally feels over the actions of Book. We spot a Changeling! Is there a backstory between Rillak and Vance? Burnham for the save! The purpose of the DMA is revealed but who could be behind this mystery. We know a couple of things, the Federation has never dealt with them before and they are vastly more superior to Federation known worlds.

It's finale week here at A Strange New Pod as we celebrate the endings of some of our favorite shows.If you were to ask Ben Sisko how Star Trek has done when it comes to ending a franchise, he'd say it's batting around .300. What makes finales like "All Good Things" and "Endgame" so good, and what feels a bit off about "What You Leave Behind?"Also, why did The Original Series never get a proper finale, and why are we ignoring Enterprise? All that on episode 35 of ASNP.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/astrangenewpod)

Our man Ben is going to abuse his power this week to force everyone to do stuff they'd really rather not. First up, in "Afterimage", Ezri really should be taking some time to get her head straight but Sisko decides it would better if she try and counsel a deeply distressed Garak. After that, the Emissary decides everyone needs to be involved in an old grudge of his and drags them onto the baseball diamond in "Take Me Out to the Holosuite"! Also this week: classy songs for a classy intro, f***ing around and finding out, and way too much baseball chat. [Timestamps: Afterimage: 04:22; Holosuite: 35:51]

A father sees his son give his whole life up to save his. Jimmy, Dom, and Fr. Cory discuss this DS9 story that explores the love of father and son and son for father and the limits of what Jake will do to save Ben Sisko, including killing himself.

Everyone's got troubles this week on DS9, and everyone decides to talk to a computer to fix them. First up: Ben Sisko uses his personal log to try and sort through the ethics of a decision he made in "In The Pale Moonlight". After that, Odo learns to chill with the help of a holographic 1960s crooner for some reason in "His Way". Also this week: the social media of Starfleet, Captainly morality, and for once a B plot might've been nice. [Timestamps: "Moonlight": 01:31; "His Way": 52:13]

This DS9 episode could have used a second pass... Hugh gives the podcast a second pass and has to mention Kanye, Colm with John Huston, and ... Dune? What starts with a great father/son scene about that time Picard blew up Ben Sisko's wife devolves into mooning over a woman with no personality and a penchant for disappearing. A man reignites a dead sun with science we are dubious about. But the episode is almost worth watching just for Chief O'Brien's eye rolls alone. https://www.patreon.com/kickersofelves?filters[tag]=Dune https://kickersofelves.com https://twitter.com/kickerspodcasts  

Season 4 of DS9 gets off to a shiny bang with "The Way of the Warrior", a double-length season premier that sees everything change in the Alpha Quadrant! When Gowron goes on the warpath Ben Sisko calls on TNG's Mr. Worf to come try and smooth the situation over. Before long the Klingons are reigniting every old conflict they can think of and DS9 becomes the epicenter of a massive battle! Also this week: root beer, "Lower Decks", and shoehorning.

When Captain Sisko begins to take the losses personally in the war against the Dominion, he questions whether or not he's up to the task. But when he's transported to a world where somehow things are worse, he'll discover whether he's “tuff enuff” for future challenges. Can you just take any lemon you can reach? What's the worst thing you can get away with saying after inhaling helium? Is there a secret ingredient to Ben Sisko's jambalaya? It's the episode that's a real student of the game!

In times of war, choices are made. Some are bold choices. Some are decisions of cowardice. Some decisions exist in a moral void, leaving an aftermath that will haunt the person forever. This applies to starfleet captains, who can make morally ambiguous moves in the name of the greater good, as Ben Sisko is about to learn in an intense episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

This applies to starfleet captains, who can make morally ambiguous moves in the name of the greater good, as Ben Sisko is about to learn in an intense episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. And, as always, Dr Bill, David, Paul, and introducing Sir Andrew Leyland as Saavik will be watching and discussing the episode for your entertainment.Feedback for this show can be sent to: listentotheprophets@gmail.comListen to the Prophets is a proud member of the Two True Freaks!

When the Maquis throw one last Hail Mary, it might be Klingon footballs they've flung toward Cardassia. But when Ben Sisko gets an old enemy out of jail to stop them, it's not Alcatraz they'll have to break into. Did it really take this long to think of cloaked missiles? Why does Morn want to die nude? What's Nog's suit size? It's the episode where we are not feeling okay. Get a "The Warrior, The Legends" T-shirt! Follow The Game of Buttholes: The Will of the Prophets!

Ben Sisko suddenly finds himself as a science-fiction writer in the mid-1950s and creates a character named "Benjamin Sisko", a black commander of a space station in the distant future. The rest of the DS9 cast is also here - they're writers, ballplayers, con men and corrupt cops. Far Beyond the Stars deals with racism and the insidious ways that it finds its way into various aspects of life, and it's generally regarded as one of the strongest stand alone episodes that the series ever produced. Listen as Wes and Clay discuss DS9's attempt to re-calibrate the series with an episode that has a lot to say and does so in a very sophisticated way. Plus! The guys discuss the extreme pipe-work of Colm Meaney, what would have gone wrong with the TNG cast, and the unfortunate misery of enduring 3+ hours of make-up for a single shot!

When changelings bomb a diplomatic conference, Ben Sisko heads to Earth to try to prevent a war. But when it turns out his own father looks like Admiral Cartwright, the Khitomer vibes really get out of control. Is Dax prank-flirting with Odo? Is religion a good topic of conversation for the workplace? How did they convince the assholes to leave Earth? It's the episode that can't decide whether it's grieving or doing bits.

A haughty Vulcan challenges the emotional Sisko to a game of baseball and we got us a shenanigans episode, y'all!  But what's this about an ethnoship?  Take me out, please.  Secrets of Rom.  A premise well deployed.  Wait, not the Bad News Bears, but… was this based on an old tv show?  An… ethnoship?   Oh boy we're gonna talk about racism.  USS Vidal Sassoon.  Is it a weird message if the superior  Vulcans end up overpowering the diverse non Vulcans?  Buckle up!    Does this episode show a different approach to the Vulcans than other Trek has embraced up until this point?  Is it presumptuous for the nerds writing this show to suppose that winning a sports game isn't the most important victory?  #SolokCancelled What is the nature of the truth in Kasidy and Ben Sisko's relationship?     How many ways can James talk over, not listen to, or make assumptions about Wade's points? [Hi, Wade wrote these notes]. Now, what does memory alpha say about ethnoships? Is there any merit to a story that shows victory in defeat?    Closing up facts:  Wait. WHO is Cirroc Lofton's uncle?! Black hats.  Padres and Yankees.     Chekhov's Fancy Dan.    Federation anthem?  Manufactured triumph. Here here!  Just when you think you're done… MORE ETHNOSHIP. Even if it's not analogous, is it a problem if someone reinterprets a story to make racist analogies?  Got your own thoughts?  Hit us up! 917 408 3898 And maybe here some more ethnoship talk on the Kickers of Elves patreon, and even better content! patreon.com/kickersofelves

We learn a little something about Ben Sisko's origin. OH, and it's time to spend more time with that "Ezri Dax" that showed up at the end of last episode. Research:  Website coming soon. Ezri: No stumbling out the gate on this one. Would we have still preferred some stunt casting?  What was the thinking behind another Nicole De Boer's casting?  What does Quark actually contribute?  Never apologize, even if you're Worf?  Has Star Trek and DS9 been missing counselors since TNG?  What if they'd actually gender shifted Dax?  Admiral Ham Scully?    An appreciation of techbobabble.  Good ol' desert scenes. James loves ‘em.   How does Brock Peters feel? Damar drinks kanar. Is he unhappy? (yes). What is the environmental impact of destroying part of a solar system? Should there be protests?  Mercury? We got no respect for ya.  Is Admiral Ross not supportive enough of Kira?  Vic gets replaced with a Mike Hammer refence for this episode. Quark hears about gagh whilst in a klingon coffee shop.  Does Sisko's orb vision of Benny Russell cheapen “Far Beyond the Stars”? Last Temptation of the Emissary?  Good pacing and a plan comes together.  Finally figuring out where Sisko's specialness comes from. Is he a god, or just the tool of gods? -Sorry, noncorporeal wormhole aliens.  How did all the plots relate to each other, or did they at all?  Who dies offscreen?  Let us know what you think! 917 408 3898 and support the show at patreon.com/kickersofelves

Ben Sisko and Miles O'Brien are surveying planets for future colonies. They find one that seems to have a colony already. A human colony. But there's no record of it, and they're not responding to hails. Leave well enough alone? That's not the Sisko way.

It’s all been building to this! The final chapter of this first ten book arc of the DS9 relaunch crashes home as all the threads of story collide in this … ending? Will Bajor enter the Federation? Will the Parasite threat destroy all our heroes have built? Will Quark and Ro Laren ever actually communicate? And most importantly, will Ben Sisko return?

Who is the dreamer, Benjamin Sisko or Benny Russell? Is this the best Star Trek episode ever made? The best Deep Space Nine?  On our most recent rewatch this episode feels more powerful than ever. Instead of being a captain on a space station Ben Sisko finds himself wondering if he's actually a 1950s pulp scifi author. What famous scifi writers are the characters in this episode analogs to? Just how many ways does the system oppress lower class peoples? What was the original pitch and how did ISB fix it? What is the one performance that we sets us of arguing about? Does the solution Albert gives totally undermine Benny's story, or preserve some of the artistry? An argument ensues. What about a proposed end of the series had to do with this episode? That scene. You know the one. I mean, what about that scene, huh? How do the 24th century framing sections of the episode actually fit with the the main 1950s story? How influenced was this influenced by the Feldstein/Orlando EC comic story “Judgement Day”? Down with the Comics Code! Why doesn't DS9 do this kind of show all the time? Should they? Could they? Is this episode as great as we think it is? Disagree? Wow. We need to hear from you then: 917 408 3898 and check out our other endeavors at the Kickers of Elves patreon page patreon.com/kickersofelves

When midlife crisis Ben Sisko rolls up to the station in his brand new ride, he can't wait to show the crew what's so special under the hood. But when he invites them on a trip around the block with him to show it off, the feedback from their neighbors is surprising. Where do we stand on Big Almond? How do we verify if “Scepter is Authentic”? Why can't you go through the wormhole cloaked? It's the episode where we decide where a “yes, and” belongs.

Eddington returns! For the last time? The remaining Maquis have done something stupid and so Ben Sisko takes a runabout to the badlands with his best buddy krull. Does this mean more arguing about the Maquis? How bout an argument about the inevibility of war and whether or not its right to just go ahead and let a one happen in the right circumstances? Why wasn't this episode more about Sisko being able to do something? Is the twist a cheap copout to a more rewarding story or is the twist the rewarding part? Have thoughts on the Maquis? Want to set us off on an argument that might take up an entire bonus episode? Give us a call then! 917 408 3898 Support the show as you see fit!

DUN DUN. This week on Into the Wormhole, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine meets Law & Order as Worf is on trial for the loss of life aboard a civilian transport! OH NO! It's up to Ace Attorney, Ben Sisko, to crack the case and free his man. Can he do it, or is Worf going to get sent to the dilithium mines?! I mean, it's Star Trek, so... you know. You figure it out!  Support us on Patreon at www.patreon.com/wormholepodcast!

When a Cardassian freighter explodes at Deep Space 9, the Cardassians blame Federation colonists in the new Demilitarized Zone. Sisko tries to rescue Gul Dukat, stop the Maquis terrorists, and prevent a new war with the Cardassians. The Maquis is an interesting change of pace for the show: it eschews a sci-fi story to tell a character drama about the ethical failings of the Federation. Ben Sisko is stuck between a rock and a hard place: does he help his longtime friend save the homes of colonists, or does he toe the company line as a uniformed member of Starfleet? Is it a new day for the series, or is this a one-off episode that won't be repeated? Clay joins me to discuss being a saint in paradise, a double mirror, and not making jokes!

Open up your light ship’s solar sails and join us as we explore a truly unique Deep Space Nine episode, season 3‘s Explorers! We’re diving deep to discuss two of our favorite relationships in the whole show; Julian and Bashir’s friendship and Jake and Ben Sisko’s loving familial relationship! We’re also bashing Voyager, trying to figure out who the most annoying Star Trek crew members are, chatting about everyone’s favorite Mortal Kombat character and, as always, so much more! Grab yourself a Fenalian hot toddy and enjoy, because you’ll definitely want to skip the synthale for this one!

When Sisko, Kira and Bashir take Kai Opaka on a trip to the Gamma Quadrant, they discover a prison planet where the inmates are forced to endlessly fight each other. "Battle Lines" features Jonathan Banks in a stand out guest spot, and it also does a good job of examining some of the DS9 plots that have been on the back burner for a while. Modi joins me to discuss having good actors in your TV series, the nuance of Ben Sisko, and new information about the Bajoran religion! Are you looking for older episodes?

When a reluctant and somewhat recalcitrant Ben Sisko is given command of the worst neighborhood in Starfleet, a tone is set for a very different kind of Trek. But when the locals identify him as potentially playing a major role in their religion, the commander's commitment to his job comes roaring back. Is the space station a metaphor for urban Detroit? Did someone tell Nana Visitor that she was going to be the star of the series? Is Picard looking at Sisko's junk? It's the episode where we trade Picard's Beavis and Butthead for Sisko's Woo!

Welcome to Earth!   After a terrorist attack, Benjamin, Jake, and Odo get recalled to run Earth Security and hang out in a New Orleans restaurant. That's right, Brock Peters as grandpa Joe Sisko!   Changelings have infiltrated the Federation, Starfleet is perhaps comprimised, and President Joe Camel needs convincing.   An episode that is strangely prescient for a tv show before the modern War on Terror.     A lot to cover in this first part of a two episode story. How does a society balance freedom with security?   Does this further dismantle Roddenberry's dream?  Just what living family members does Ben Sisko actually have?   And in Voicemails! (52:30)   It's all about the holodeck.   FAIR WARNING: We earn that explicit tag in this one.   Twiggy and Kristin from Toronto leave messages on Our Man Bashir, and we go into excruciating detail on holosuite hygiene, technology, and sexual ethics of the future.    Have thoughts of your own? Predictions for Star Trek: Discovery? Let us have em!   917 408 3898

After losing his wife in the Borg attack at Wolf 359, Ben Sisko accepts the command of Deep Space 9. A former Cardassian mining station in orbit around Bajor, DS9 is seen as a vital part of allowing Bajor to join the Federation. With son Jake in tow, Sisko arrives to find a station in ruins and his subordinates at each others throats. Does Sisko have what it takes to bring his house in order, or will he decide to leave Starfleet for civilian life? Clay and Zack Handlen join me to break down the pilot episode for DS9, "Emissary"! We discuss the acting choices of Avery Brooks, orbs in the shape of a peanut, and using baseball as a metaphor for life! Are you looking for older episodes?

Do you remember the Bell Riots? Well, maybe that's because they haven't happened yet. Ben Sisko remembers them because they're in his past. So Paul, Andrew and Bill are joined by David Pascarella to take this journey into the future and travel to the past, which is really still their future, but Ben's past from his other future, where he tries not to change history that hasn't happened yet.

This DS9 episode could have used a second pass... What starts with a great father/son scene about that time Picard blew up Ben Sisko's wife devolves into mooning over a woman with no personality and a penchant for disappearing. A man reignites a dead sun with science we are dubious about. But the episode is almost worth watching just for Chief O'Brien's eye rolls alone.

Valentine’s Day is over, so let’s get back to talking about MURDER. The gang gets together to talk, yet again, about the forgotten Dax host, Joran. We also touch briefly upon the newly released trailer for Star Trek Beyond and the J. J. Abrams Star Trek movies in general, John Hodgman and Trill pools and the similarities between Buffy Summers and Ben Sisko. Also, we have the longest, most debate-filled edition of Trek Check YET, so don’t miss it! ReopeningtheWormhole.com

"The Visitor" - L.M. Myles, writer, podcaster, and Dr. Who fan, joins Scott to discuss “The Visitor” (DS9 S4E3), which, despite the name, doesn’t offer much screentime for Nana Visitor. Old Jake, Young Jake, and an unstuck in time Ben Sisko make for an interesting trio in this episode. Things discussed include popping in on your favorite reclusive writer (they love it!), how Jake causes the death of Dax, and whether or not you’d want to serve on a ship captained by Nog. Next on Random Trek: DS9’s The Search Part 1 & 2. Host Scott McNulty with Lizbeth Myles.

It's here: the final season of Deep Space Nine begins. We also discuss last week's episode of Elementary, "The Eternity Injection."
