The Babylon Podject Presents: PodSpace9

Episode Notes This episode breaks the 4th wall in a fascinating way. Introducing Benny Russell, and some almost-familiar faces. Casual 1950s racism and sexism. Imagining a better future. Armon gets to be the moral backbone of a story for once. In every reality, Odo is a fascist. You never quite expect to hear the hard-R n-word in Trek but here we are.

Episode Notes The Magnificent Ferengi: It's never a good sign when Quark looks overly pleased with himself. Moogie has been captured... by the Dominion? And QUARK has to rescue her? Rom learns what Moogie has been up to. STONKS. All Nog needs is a good job title and he's in. Ferengi are negotiators, not warriors. Emo Vorta. Everything that can go wrong does. IGGY POP??? Nog discovers the Weekend at Bernies gambit. Maybe Ferengi are warriors? This whole episode is a sunday night RPG session (appreciative). Vorta malevolent curiosity. Only in a Ferengi episode would accidentally killing a hostage be ok. The best Trek episodes are ones where the actors are clearly enjoying themselves. Waltz: Sisko and Dukat road trip gone wrong episode. Nebula-class chat. Dukat "saves" Sisko? Dukat is hallucinating a lot, but that's fine, right? Dukat has an interesting memory of his two stints as DS9 commander. Fake Kira might be even better than real Kira. Huh, maybe Dukat just needs to be removed from the Alpha Quadrant. This episode is deliciously uncomfortable. Dr. Cox??? Marc Olaimo put in the labor over the last 5.5 seasons in order for this episode to work. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

Episode Notes Resurrection: The merits of dinner parties. Ughhh it's Bareil again. Or a Mirror Universe Bareil, except not fun or horny. Jude rants about orbs again. Noooo Kira don't do it. Oh good, Mirror Kira. Hopefully there's an actual HR rep for this Bajoran-Starfleet joint op, and that it's not Odo. Justen hates that this is a Mirror Universe episode without the Mirror Universe. Statistical Probabilities: Yes, this is a metaphor for autism. Also the politics of augmentation. Damar gets a promotion. "Uncomplicated" might not be a compliment. Jack suggests doing a treason. There are problems with this episode but it's nice to see Bashir unmask a bit. Jack may be Nate Silver. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

Episode Notes Lots of war episodes... time for a wedding! Sisko has nominated Martok as supreme commander. Quark wants to know if the wedding will be at the bar. Jadzia wants the wedding before Alexander gets killed. Dax is amused by Worf's bridezilla-ing. Worf sells what the boys think is a 4 day bachelor party. You should really read Shakespeare in the original Klingon. Klingon domestic politics. Jadzia has a bachelorette party with basically everyone not at Worf's ascetic fast-fest. O'Brien Suffers [fun?]. What better place to talk about feelings than a loud and noisy party? Kira and Odo 7 hours in heaven. O'Brien and Bashir have some goofs. Klingon mythology kinda rules. We love this episode AND there are some things we wish they'd included. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

Episode Notes Favor the Bold: Odo and the Changeling... ugh. They could not have conveyed Odo's shame and disgust more clearly. Rom's on death row. The fate of the Alpha Quadrant is in... Quark's hands? Damarr is just bad at everything. Morn?! Kira whoops Damarr like he's Worf on TNG. Nog receives a promotion! The heroes so far are Quark, Rom, and Morn. Sisko is tired of running, time to retake DS9. Sacrifice of Angels: The Charge of the not-so-light brigade. Time for a fleet battle. Quark is... not under suspicion? 4D Chess. The comparative morals of exterminatus vs triumphs. Weyoun finally reads Dukat. Costuming choices. The Female Changeling makes some choices. Quark does some shenanigans. Quark does some SHENANIGANS. Odo to a very disappointingly motivated rescue. Space gods to a very dickish rescue. Check out Justen's new project! The Vampire With No Name is a production of Dubious Creatures Press.

Episode Notes We had a good week. Too bad these episodes are less good. Sons and Daughters: Worf continues to bridezilla. Bet you forgot Alexander existed, because Worf sure did. Worf continues to be a terrible dad. Dukat is a less terrible parent than Worf, somehow. Dukat is able to simultaneously be genuine and try to find every possible advantage. Martok is, on the other hand, a swell dude and a better friend than Worf deserves. Behind the Line: The Defiant is operating out of Starbase 375 and kicking butt. So much that Sisko's skills are being "better used elsewhere". Poor Captain Dad. The Ketracel White situation is getting worse, and Damarr has no opsec. The Female Changeling stops by the station to goo with Odo, and gosh is that bad for the resistance cell. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

Episode Notes Jude gets a promotion! We start the Dominion War in earnest! A Time to Stand: Nearly everyone's on the Defiant, and the war isn't going great. Oh yeah and Jake is still on the Dominion-occupied DS9. Tetracel White is a strategic resource. Dukat is in charge on the station, but not _in charge_ with the Dominion there. Woo censorship! Worf is a bridezila. ROSSSSS! What percentage of Vorta dna is housecat? Dukat is, after all, a giant POS. Kira's maturation from firebrand to leader. Spock-ifying Bashir. Rocks and Shoals: O'Brien couldn't pull a Scotty, so now the Defiant's in trouble! Nog remembers what happened last season. Battles that we only see in DS9. Protests we only see in DS9. Kira realizes she's a collaborator now. The Dominion has never dealt with supply line issues before, apparently. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

Episode Notes Justen's theory of Trek Movies. PICAAAARD has borg-lepathy. The Enterprise does the traditional "ignoring clear orders". Borg geometry. Surfing the time-travel wake of a sphere. Nothing ever goes wrong when redshirts are in a Jefferies Tube. Troi's main contribution to the movie is getting white-girl wasted. Data gets an introduction to HR Giger.

Episode Notes In the Cards: Baseball cards? In my post-capitalist society? Yikes, Jake. Yikes. Soulless minions of orthodoxy is my next band name. NoJ Fetch Quest party. Everyone ends up better than they started, somehow, including Weiyoun. Winn and Sisko have an honest conversation for the first time. A Call to Arms: Jake is a bit of a shit, part two. Leeta and Rom get married! Mine the wormhole! Upping the stakes some more, and more, and more. Jake and Rom are in danger. Martok's suave look. Rom's arc has been epic.

Episode Notes *Except for Garak Star Trek horror episodes have two modes: worse than the cave set, or unbelievably good. Cardassians do not believe in Right to Repair. These redshirts are VERY redshirt. Some board game hot takes. Genre-awareness in redshirts. Super-racism drug? Nog's great. Garak, but turned up to 11. The ethics of improvised space slurs. The qualities of horror and the cast's opinions. 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!

Episode Notes Children of Time: Kira breaks up with yet another boring guy. Welcome to... Gaia? Grandfather Problem Trolley Problem Or Something. Odo's gotten pretty good at shapeshifting in 200 years. Worf gets a cult. This episode wants to do too many things, and doesn't do any of them well. Blaze of Glory: We punish Jude. Wait, we thought we were done with the Maquis. Morn needs to uninstall social media. FINALLY. The Nog B-Plot makes us much happier. Ben's fusion cooking.

Episode Notes Ferengi Love Songs: Rene has found his niche: horny Ferengi. Starfleet pest control is... interesting. Time to visit Moogie! Strangest thing to find in your childhood closet? Wait, how big is this closet?? Brunt is a Sovereign class hater. The one place where the Ferengi>America analogy falls down in the 21st century is that they don't generally shoot people to solve problems. The gang makes Aaron produce a new sound effect. The Ferengi market must be incredible volatile. O'Brien makes other people suffer. Odo turns his inner cop into community work. Soldiers of the Empire: We've been in Nog's shoes. Klingons would love anime. Time for some Klingon weeb bullshit. Dax is a better Klingon than Worf. Martok is acting weird. Worf puts over Martok by taking a knife to the kidney. Martok gets his groove back, and Worf gets a new house. Some more Klingon thoughts. DS9 is the rare show without much rivalry in female friendships. A divergence into Dragonriders of Pern.

Episode Notes Business as Usual: Quark is broke and up to his ears in debt. Obviously he needs to get into arms dealing. Holosuites are a legal loophole? Quark may be an immoral gremlin, but he has lines. Miles suffers: dadmode. Ties of Blood and Water: Cardassian shenanigans! Dukat always acts with 100% certainty. Cardassian worldbuilding by way of "dumping the laundry hamper as you die". Jeffrey Coombs! Speculations on Kira's situationship. Nana Visitor is amazing in this episode.

Episode Notes S05E16: Doctor Bashir, I Presume S05E17: A Civil Investigation Doctor Bashir, I Presume: Holo-doc? No, real doc. Making a custom GPT in the future is hard work, apparently. Bashir is khaaa--no, just genetically modified. The sins of the father. Gross, Robert Picardo. Finally Rom asks Leeta out! Julian's unplanned but really solid character book changes. The 90s are on full and ugly display in this episode, but it's still pretty darn strong. Jude has theories about human dna. Justen coins M. Bison Syndrome. A Civil Investigation: Justen gets horny for Noir Odo. Lax data security policies. Unlabeled data crystals return. Falcon is happy to see Odo. The whole staff is horny for Odo. Jude is unhappy that he feels sad for Odo. Jude questions whether Renee Echevarria paid for his Molly Millions knockoff. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

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.

Episode Notes For the Uniform: Michael Eddington is a smarmy bastard. Marooning is cruel and unusual punishment. The Maquis. Experimental Holo-Zoom. Jude gets angry about Starfleet's DevOps. Odo reminds them that Eddington is their problem because they didn't trust Odo. The Defiant as submarine. Eddington has freshman philosophy major energy. The wrestling theory of heat.

Episode Notes There's quite a bit of preamble, skip to around 13:20 if you don't want to hear about 85 other TV shows. The Darkness and the Light: Hello, Bryan Fuller! Don't put a fork in the transporter? Someone's taking out Kira's old associates, one by one. Odo needs to learn better data stewardship. Chekov's herbs. The episode tries to be two different things at once and sort of fails at both, which is too bad because they're both good ideas. The Begotten: A baby changeling with radiation sickness? Odo's old "dad" returns. Oh hey another baby! People really need to just follow a birthing plan, jeez. Odo's a sad gooboy again! We're surprised how much this episode makes us like Mora.

Episode Notes Let He Who is Without Sin: Odo is no longer a wet fascist and is now a catty meatbag bitch. Woo spring break on Risa! 90s space fashion. We find out how Curzon died. We're not enjoying incel Worf. Or incel promoter. Bajoran rite of separation, and healthy relationships. Quark and Bashir are blindsided by Leeta. No Ghosting. Worf makes choices. Bashir asks the right questions. What a thoroughly unbalanced episode. We need a Badmiral-adjacent term for scholars who go insanely weird. Ana's thoughts about 24th century academia (and modern academia). Modern connections to this episode. The Ascent: Odo gets to take his boyfriend to a grand jury. Orion Syndicate car bombs. A very long walk. Nog's back! But he's experienced some changes. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

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!

Episode Notes Is the Department of Temporal Investigations the worst job in Starfleet? Probably. Wait, what is that music playing? It's the ORIGINAL Federation Enterprise! Continuity errors repaired. Kirk's 17 temporal violations. The red/gold swap. We're too busy enjoying this work to ask how they did it. Bashir can only lie in the Holosuites. Odo has glands now. Bashir's predestination horniness. Dax, we have no notes, between DeForest Kelly and Karl Urban. This episode says "we know you love Star Trek, and we love it too."
