The Dominion War is over, but the rhythms of war will never be purged from the Klingon heart! Join us as we return to the decade of Klingon politics as we watch the rise of Gowron, the challenge of the Duras, and the arrival of Martok onto the stage of history. Bat’leth will bleed as we toast to all those who cross Worf and find themselves in Sto-Vo-Kor for their troubles. Join us in a song for the ages, a song of the alien culture that refuses to ever play nice with the rest of Star Trek. It’s time … for Klingons!

We take a break from Star Trek for a duo of media inspired by Trek and taking it on as a sort of meta-parody with one of the best Star Trek movies and a well-regarded Trek-adjacent book! What happens when people comment on Star Trek? Does anyone actually try to critique the world of Star Trek or does it just become about television production? We will never give up and never surrender as we tackle these two views on our favorite sci-fi show, for good or ill. Pleeeeeease, joooooin uuuusssssss.

It's been six months of DS9 relaunch. New friends have been made, tragedies have struck, and through it all Ezri and Bashir are still together. Let's put all of that aside for today as we follow one confused boy and his misadventures as Jake Sisko heads into the wormhole in search to the prophecy of B'Hala and maybe something more!

After a long, long absence we have returned to the world of the Deep Space Nine relaunch, but before we can tackle the final stretch of the first arc, we must step back and read a little book called: The Lives of Dax. Nine short stories for every Dax host, we talk a lot this episode about the weird mess that is The Trill. It's good to be back with Star Trek.
