DS9 S5E09 – "The Ascent"

from Treks and the City

This week, Alice and Skyler are back to discuss DS9 season five, episode nine, "The Ascent." Topics include the types of pastries they're both fans of, period yurts, what day of the week it in fact is, the kinds of people who'll talk to painters painting, off-the-beaten-path workplaces, screwing up Godot, chic survival looks, whether the station is "huge" or "enormous" or a mystery third size, the best spicy Porsche to get, and much, much more!
