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? All this and more as we close this chapter and open the door to many more ahead.

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.
