DS9 S4E22 – "For the Cause" – Teaser

from Treks and the City

This week, Alice and Skyler are back to discuss the worst time to Google Shohei, how Alice's stand-up show (that Skyler MISSED) went, viewing the team you're playing against as your enemy, and much, much more. Behind the paywall, they get into DS9 season four, episode twenty two, "For the Cause." Topics include the wrestling terms Skyler's heard of, getting into geometry, the word of the episode, the awful pillow-tech of the future, where the Maquis rank in Treks' cast of villains, how much fun it must be to talk to Eddington, Garak and Ziyal's bad will-they/won't-they dynamic, making sure a piece of writing passes the Alice test, and much, much more!
