This week we are joined by our good friend Wayne Badie for a discussion analyzing the different command styles we see in Star Trek, primarily of the various ship and station captains that our favorite shows focus on. How different would it be to serve under Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, Burnham, or any of the others? What are some of the strengths and weaknesses of each? Earth Station Trek is a part of the ESO Podcast Network, Executive Producer Mike Faber. #startrek #commandstyles #military #kirk #picard #sisco #janeway #jellico #burnham #cwbadie

Stranded together, Sisko confronts Dukat's obsession with Bajor and descent into madness. We unpack the episode's intensity, character depth, and how it shapes one of Trek's greatest villains.
Hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton debate whether or not risk really is their business while citing their picks for the best five-minute sequence in Trek history. From Kirk's iconic Return to Tomorrow speech, to Sisko's lingering baseball and the destructive fate of the USS Kelvin, the duo break down why each of these legendary moments continue to endure.

And now, the conclusion… of our deep dive into Star Trek's first three-part episode arc ever, wrapping up with DS9's “The Siege.”This week, Kira and Dax get their Top Gun on while Sisko, O'Brien and Odo play Die Hard on the station. Does this 32-year-old episode still hold up? You'll have to listen to find out.We also recap New York Comic Con and the new, cool toys coming from Nacelle. And yes, we have a Red Shirt. So snack on a palukoo and listen now!
Indiana could be the top team in college football with a win and an Ohio st loss plus Sisko wants a marvel legends apocalypse
Sisko is out of commission, Kira finally learns how to treat him like a regular friend and not with all the reverence due the Emissary (had she been doing that?), Worf plays out the ol' "person suddenly in command who needs to learn how to be command" trope, and Bashir and Dax get cracking on retconning Bashir. But don't forget about Odo! Actually, you probably can except for one scene.[Episode discussion begins around 1:23 - for a whopping 2:45 for a regular episode! Mostly nonsense.]
Hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton wax poetic about homegrown corn while delving into the fascinating three episode arc of DS9's Maquis fugitive Eddington. From Kassidy Yates' betrayal smokescreen, to Sisko's relentless pursuit and a final blaze of glory, the duo highlight why this underrated character deserves more fanfare.

Dax, Sisko & Garak landen in einem finsteren Traum, dessen Dreh- und Angelpunkt Odo zu sein scheint, der damals noch nicht Polizist auf der Promenade war. Oder doch?

Después nos perderemos en cuadrantes alejados de esta infinita galaxia, como tripulantes de la VOYAGER, a las órdenes de la capitana Janeway. Acabando la primera parte del especial con esa precuela donde el capitán Archer nos presentará la primera de las naves con el nombre más mítico que podamos encontrar en cualquier universo: ENTERPRISE.

Time is up! the Dominion figured out how to deactivate the minefield, and they are bringing it down. Sisko and the Federation have to strike without reinforcements, before it is too late! What will happen?!?!?

Sisko convinces Starfleet and the Klingons to try and retake DS9, since it is the key to holding the Alpha Quadrat, but as usual the politics and bureaucracy get in his way, a little.

Everyone is dealing with the consequences of parenthood this week as we review "The Abandoned". So the A plot with Odo uncovering the horror of his people is great and all, but we need to have an immediate conversation about Jake 'Pool Shark' Sisko. This young lad is out here pulling Alpha Quadrant Eights!
Episode Notes In Purgatory's Shadow: Odo's newly re-gooey lifestyle. Garak on a... rescue mission? Garak, played by Jason Mantzoukas. Martok's on the prison! Wait... and Julian??? Goolian brings the lunch order. By Inferno's Light: Dukat (that asshole) has sold Cardassia to the Dominion. Worf does the prison fight ring trope. Gowron and Sisko re-establish the Khitomer Accords. Real Martok is the actual best. Romulans to the rescue. Goodbye Goolian. Dukat is that overly clingy ex. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

Matt and Andy finally watch the arrival of Worf to DS9, as the MVC song prophesied. And boy, did everybody made a big deal out of Sisko's shaved head and the arrival of Worf being harbingers of awesomeness for the show...... but maybe they didn't make a BIG ENOUGH deal of how awesome it was about to get?[Episode discussion begins around 52 minutes in]
7. Oktober 1996: Just in den Planeten, den ein DS9-Team geologisch erkundet, kracht ein Jem'Hadar-Schiff und bleibt halbwegs intakt. Was für ein Fang! – denkt sich Sisko und will das galaktische Strandgut unbedingt Wissenschaft & Geheimdienst der Föderation zuspielen. Wäre da nicht das Dominion, das eine Vorta nebst Soldaten zur Belagerung entsendet. Beiderseitige Vertrauensprobleme haben tragische Konsequenzen. In Deutschland: Das Schiff, ausgestrahlt am 20. Februar 1998.
We witness the full flowering of the most potent weapon in the Alpha Quad as we finish our discussion of "The Search, pt1." The gang is very much all here as they pile into the new hot rod filled with Explodium. Odo brings his bucket, but its Sisko that brings the PAIN.
SAIL BONDING TIME. Ben takes Jake on a trip aboard an ancient Bajoran spacecraft that utilizes a solar sail. Does this father-son adventure takeoff? Meanwhile, Bashir finds an ally in Chief O'Brien after being seemingly spurned by an impressive woman. DS9's Season Three Leap Forward theme month continues with this crucial episode.The grades begin at (20:34).
LOVE LIES SCREAMING. Garak tortures Odo to get back into Enabran Tain's good graces. Meanwhile, Sisko defies orders to mount a rescue only for he and the Defiant to come across one of Trek's biggest space battles -- to that point! DS9's Season Three Leap Forward theme month continues with the conclusion to an accidental two-parter. The grades begin at (28:41).
30. September 1996: Gowron, glubschäugiger Chef aller Klingonen, ist ein Changeling! Um ihn zu enttarnen und größeres Ungemach vom Alpha-Quadranten fernzuhalten, lassen sich Sisko, Odo und der Milester in diesem fünften DS9-Staffelauftakt zu stolzen Kriegern umoperieren. Gemeinsam mit Worf und chauffiert von Dukat wagen sie sich auf ein irres Himmelfahrtskommando in die Höhle des Löwen (aka Ty'Gokor). In Deutschland: Die Apokalypse droht, ausgestrahlt am 19. Februar 1998.
“Cardassians” 30th-anniversary reflections A biting boy in the replimat presents a mystery that leaves Garak's arm in pain and puts the tailor's suspected spy skills to the test. Teaming up with Bashir, he helps uncover the background behind this young Cardassian wearing a Bajoran earring. The boy turns out to be an orphan, left behind after the Occupation and adopted by a Bajoran family. But there is much more to the story than it first seems, and when it is discovered that the boy is actually the son of one of Gul Dukat's opponents, Sisko's decision to allow him to remain on Bajor or be returned to his father becomes all the more difficult. 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 “Cardassians,”how the story expands the rich world created for the series, the return of Garak, and the difficult questions around culture and identity.

TAILOR MADE CONSPIRACY. Garak's shop explodes and Odo's investigation soon gets the two of them into a situation of galactic importance. Our DS9's Season Three Leap Forward theme month continues with a pivotal episode about Garak, the Dominion, and the clandestine services in the Alpha Quadrant. The grades begin at (29:06).
Grab your tastiest sandwich and try not to spoil Twin Peaks as we return to Deep Space 9 with an all-DS9 extravaganza. We're talking about the opening three-parter of season two of Deep Space Nine which, unlike the Augment three-parter of Enterprise we covered (Episode Title- We Have Wrath of Khan at Home), we're discussing and placing on the Big List as one single entry and not three seperate ones. Watch as in ‘The Homecoming,' Kira goes off to rescue Bajor's greatest resistance fighter and gets no end of grief for it, then we see that Odo has an actual friend while Kira has one of those awkward naked dreams while uncovering Bajoran nationalists in ‘The Circle' and then the simmering Bajoran nonsence ends up in some Die Hard antics on the Station as our heroes must endure ‘The Siege' where this should hopefully wrap up. No Vedek Winn's were harmed during the making of these episodes for which we are deeply sorry.EPISODES DISCUSSED: ‘The Homecoming' (11:25), ‘The Circle' (35:11) and ‘The Siege' (56:11)This used to be a TNG episode, Bajoran nonsense, Twin Peaks references (some spoilers removed) the DS9 novel mentioned last episode, Odo pranking Quark, Miles prefers Sisko with no beard, the Return of Grappler Zorn and a digression into G.I.Joe, Frank Langella aka Skeletor, Sisko's better at the ‘We're with Starfleet, we don't lie' than Wesley, Odo has a friend-an actual friend (cue references to ‘The Inbetweeners', Vedek Winn would unapologetically tweet ‘Thoughts and Prayers', The Prime Directive is poorly written legislation, we do a Die-Hard, Bashir would have a pith helmet, Deep Space Nine still working out what it can do and it feels that the Bajor stuff falls by the wayside with much larger threats, Krim wants to be Sisko's big rival, this is all too neat in resolution.
Sisko and crew board a captured Jem'Hadar fighter to try and destroy the Dominion's supply of white and end the war!

DOUBTING THOMAS RIKER. Kira and the crew of DS9 fall under the charms of a Riker, just not the one they think! Transporter Twin Thomas Riker has his eyes set on the USS Defiant and uses sexcraft to get what he wants. In order to stop him, Sisko must reenact Fail Safe -- or is it the TNG episode "The Wounded"? -- with Gul Dukat on Cardassia. Our theme this month is DS9's Season Three Leap Forward, looking at key episodes that showed Star Trek's middle child taking off and finding its own voice. Joining Bryan to kick things off is actor-producer-comedian Curtis Fortier, star and producer of web series 12 Sided Die, featuring Trek alumni such as Tim Russ and Andrew Robinson.The grades begin at (21:30).
Episode Notes Continuing our tradition of being totally unstuck in time, CONCLAVE DISCUSSION WARNING. And also we're doing some episodes out of order, sorry. Things Past: We go back to Terok Nor. Quark the collaborator. Dukat is so gross. Cardassian justice, the speed thereof. Another changeling? An Odo morality play. Maybe Garak episodes are only funny when Bashir is there. Rapture: Time for some Indiana Jonesing, and MDMA? New uniforms, and more Bajoran religion. Incontrovertible proof that Sisko is the emissary, which is super complicated for Kai Winn. Odo is probably a Master and Commander fan. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network. Connect with the show at @babylonpod.page Help us keep the lights on via our Patreon!

This week on The Omega Particle, we tackle Deep Space Nine's most aggressively fog-based episode: “The Storyteller.” What happens when Miles O'Brien is forced to LARP his way into being a spiritual icon? Absolute confusion, a lot of yelling, and possibly a new career in motivational speaking. Jon breaks it all down: The cloud monster with bad vibes and worse lighting, Bashir being clingier than a Ferengi credit collector, And a village that defeats evil by listening to bedtime stories with life-or-death stakes. Meanwhile, Jake and Nog try their hands at government diplomacy… and accidentally teach a Bajoran teen how to negotiate peace using casino games. Classic. There's trivia, deep dives, bad fog puns, and a full analysis of why Miles O'Brien should never be put in charge of anything spiritual, ever.
Our pal Justin Bolger beams on down once again as we wrap up Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Season 6 opening Dominion War arc with our reviews of "Favor the Bold" and "Sacrifice of Angels."Sisko's finest hour, and Star Trek's biggest space battle at the time, conclude one of sci-fi TV's greatest episodes ever.
A wacky camping adventure turns into a series defining nightmare as we review the close of DS9's second season with "The Jem'Hadar"! The goofy odd couple antics of Sisko and Quark is interrupted when the Actual Plot rolls in. The Gamma Quad Murder Hobos make quite a statement to draw the USS Odyssey, and then things definitely get much worse.
Jake and Nog scurry around the station trying to do enough favors for the crew to get a 1951 Willie Mays baseball card for Sisko.
“Invasive Procedures” 30th-anniversary reflections With the station all but abandoned due to a plasma storm, a skeleton crew of Sisko, Kira, Jadzia, Bashir, Odo, O'Brien, and Quark are easily overpowered by an unjoined Trill hell-bent on sticking the Dax symbiont in his belly. This feeble man named Verad feels that he has been condemned to a life of mediocrity because he wasn't chosen for joining. If he could only have a symbiont of his own, all would be well, and his girlfriend would especially love him. Doing his research, he found that Dax was the ideal match, and so he has come to the station with the help of Klingon mercenaries to take what he thinks is rightfully his. He almost succeeds, but made one fatal mistake: “never call me Benjamin.” 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.

“The Siege” 30th-anniversary reflections With civilians evacuated, Sisko, Li Nalas, and the station's crew prepare for the arrival of the Bajoran militia and their Vidal Sassoon salon-perfect hair. Missing from the gang are Kira and Dax, who have gone to the Bajoran moon Luna V to ask the local palukoo spider-dogs if they can borrow an abandoned raider from the days of the Occupation. They plan to crash the Chamber of Ministers and reveal evidence that the Cardassians are supplying The Circle with weapons. General Krim and his sidekick, Colonel Day, easily succumb to the crew's guerrilla tactics and hand the station back over to Sisko. But things don't turn out so rosy for the Navarch. 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 Siege,”Li Nalas's fate, what the story has to say about family and community, and how Trek's first TV trilogy ends.

It's a Mirror episode, and you know what that means! Andy's gonna like it and Matt's gonna hate it - OR will our opinions be mirror-universed too?? Sisko steps into the Mirror Universe and boy, is he sorta shrugsville about it. And his dead wife Jennifer is back! Oh man, can't wait to see how Sisko's gonna...huh, just sort of chill about it. But at least Bashir/Vantika is back! Which is basically Mirror Alliance Bashir.[Episode discussion begins around 1:01]
