Tough Ship: A DS9 Cast

by Unhinged Excellence

Liz and Meagan are grown-up middle school best friends. They’ve watched all of Star Trek except for Enterprise (2001). They tried to start a podcast about it, but a few episodes in, whoopsie-doodle, they realized were talking about their ACTUAL favorite Trek (DS9) more than the one they were supposed to be recapping. So they said SCREW IT - we're doing Deep Space Nine! And that’s how they learned to let go of the Enterprise and love the USS Defiant. Or whatever. Let's go down to Quark's, grab a Saurian Brandy and hit the mf-ing Dabo tables with some wormhole aliens.

Episodes

  1. "Captive Pursuit" [S1E6]

    What happens when the swolest reptile from the Gamma Quadrant crosses paths with Starfleet’s hardest working everyman? A space bromance, that’s what. Before Project Hail Mary gave us Grace and Rocky, we had Tosk and O’Brien against the world. Competence, it turns out, IS a universal language.…

  2. “Babel” [S1E5]

    Could they have solved the Tower of Babel incident with a round of Charades? Liz and Meagan sort it out as DS9 battles a rapidly-spreading virus that interferes with speech and language. Hilariously, only Quark and Odo are spared. Thus begins (drumroll) our first Quodosode, which writer Liz…

  3. "A Man Alone" [S1E4]

    What’s worse—murder, or the O'Brien’s marriage? This week, Liz and Meagan tackle the first Odo-centered episode of DS9. (An Odosode, if you will.) We also witness the birth of one of television’s best pairings: Quark and Odo. (Quodo, if you will.) Aaaanyway, it’s a murder mystery! CSI: Terok Nor!...

  4. "Past Prologue" [S1E3]

    Lt. Julian Bashir: brilliant doctor or dangerous moron? Elim Garak: A finely tuned dressage horse? The ultimate Slytherin? Tinker, tailor, soldier, maybe-spy? In this week's episode, Bashir tries his hand at espionage—which works out aboooooout as well as Kira tattling to Starfleet Corporate. Yet...

  5. Bonus: Star Trek First CON

    Liz and Meagan finally engage with The Fandom! Join us as we recap friendship’s final frontier: our very first Convention. Our Star Trek First Con, if you will. And it's the mother of all Cons: STLV 2024. (Vibe: Go hard, go boldly, go unhinged.) Fueled by a mix of childlike delight and…

  6. "Emissary" Part Deux [S1E2]

    Meagan & Liz BOLDLY tackle the second half of the pilot and ask ourselves: Has any show portrayed trauma as beautifully and accurately as DS9? Between cracking hole jokes,* we manage to have a heartfelt discussion about how the hell this 90's show managed to so effectively capture what it’s like…

  7. "Emissary" [S1E1]

    It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Deep Space Nine (fmr Terok Nor)! Has a pilot ever come in SO HOT? We don't think so. Meagan and Liz tackle the first half of the fabulous DS9 pilot, "Emissary," in which the Trek franchise finally shows hole. Listen in as we yell about DS9's excellent writing, then...

  8. Basically a Trailer!

    We pieced together a bunch of voice memos and VOILA! A quick and dirty lil' trailer for all you Niners fans out there. Our first episode, the 2-part EMISSARY (Pilot) will be out later this month. So see ya on the Promenade, but bring your own self-sealing stem bolts this time, k? DABO!
