-
UP2 07×17 Penumbra

-
Upper Pylon 2 – 7×16 Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges

-
Upper Pylon 2 – 7×13 Field of Fire
A murderous sniper is loose on the station. Who can stop the crime? That is right folks, another Ezri episode! I think it is fair to say this one is a bit more favorable than the last. That is our opinion at least. Also, could this be subtly one of the more anti-Roddenberry DS9 episodes? Tune in,...
-
Upper Pylon 2 – 7×12 The Emperor’s New Cloak
We say goodbye to the Mirror Universe (as far as DS9 is concerned at least). Perhaps it slightly overstayed it’s welcome. Do you agree? Also, what the hell was the deal with Vic? Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to let us know your thoughts in feedback.
-
Upper Pylon 2 – 7×11 Prodigal Daughter

-
Upper Pylon 2 – 7×05 Chrysalis
For a while there it looked as if we had left the creepy Bashir behind us. Sadly, that wasn’t the case. The writers decided it was time for a romance episode, he drew the short straw, and this was the result. The UP2 crew and a special guest had some strong opinions. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure…
more -

-
Upper Pylon 2 – 7×03 Afterimage
There is a lot going on this week. We have Ezri with Sisko. We have Ezri with Garak. We have Ezri with Worf. We have Ezri with Quark. We have Ezri with Bashir. We have Ezri with Kira. Yeah, I guess we get a bit closer to Ezri this week. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to let us know your thoughts in...

Upper Pylon 2 – 7×02 Shadows and Symbols
Let’s really dig into Season 7, shall we?. Jadzia is sent off for good. The Prophets come back. Kira has balls of steel. The Cult of the Pah-wraith comes back! Well… most of that is true at least. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to let us know your thoughts in feedback.

Upper Pylon 2 – 6×23 Profit and Lace

-
Upper Pylon 2 – 6×22 Valiant

-
Upper Pylon 2 – 6×17 Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night
Kira goes time travelin’. The boys are all back together to discuss a very interesting episode. It was minimally very good, but was it an all-time classic? We certainly have a very spirited discussion. I think this was one of our favorite recording sessions. Listen and join the conversation in…
more -

-
Upper Pylon 2 – 6×15 Honor Among Thieves
It is certainly an interesting episode this week. Maybe even controversial? Miles goes undercover (for Section 30 apparently) to take down the dastardly Orion Syndicate… or at least a tiny corner of it. Thoughts? Be sure to leave us some feedback. Perhaps what your opinions on what Bilby’s fate...
-
Upper Pylon 2 – 6×14 One Little Ship
Alright, this is a very silly one this week. We’ve all seen this type of story before, but does do they make it their own? We also coin another term for the UP2 vocabulary this week. Enjoy and leave us some feedback!

-
Upper Pylon 2 – 6 x 08: Resurrection
This week on UP2, we see the return of one of our “favorite” supporting characters, albeit with a twist in “Resurrection.” Bariel Antos, Kira’s late lover, suddenly appears on the station. However, he reveals that he isn’t the Bariel that Kira knew, he’s actually the Bariel from the Mirror...
