Description
DS9 Season 6 - Essential Trek Philosophy with Duncan Barrett, Part 1.   In this first part of a two-part episode of Meta Treks, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling are joined by author Duncan Barrett to discuss their picks for Essential Trek Philosophy from season 6 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Much of Season 6 of Deep Space Nine can be framed in terms of Thomas Hobbes's conception of a State of Nature outside of civilized society, in which actions in war are not bound by ethical consideration. Duncan Barrett, however, explains Season 6 of Deep Space Nine and the Cardassian occupation of Bajor by comparison with the German occupation of the Channel Islands during World War II.   Chapters  Welcome to Episode 60 (00:01:09)  Introducing Duncan Barrett and Initial Thoughts (00:02:56)  Rocks and Shoals (00:14:49)  In the Pale Moonlight (00:40:33)  Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night (00:50:34)  Statistical Probabilities (01:05:00)   Hosts  Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling   Guest  Duncan Barrett   Production  Mike Morrison (Editor) Zachary Fruhling (Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Ken Tripp (Executive Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Patrick Devlin (Associate Producer) Kay Shaw (Associate Producer) Norman Lao (Associate Producer) Kit Loffstadt (Associate Producer) Richard Marquez (Production Manager) Brandon-Shea Mutala (Patreon Manager)   Send us your feedback!  Twitter: @trekfm  Facebook: http://facebook.com/trekfm  Voicemail: http://www.speakpipe.com/trekfm  Contact Form: http://www.trek.fm/contact  Visit the Trek.fm website at http://www.trek.fm/  Subscribe in iTunes: http://itunes.com/trekfm   Support the Network!  Become a Trek.fm Patron on Patreon and help us keep Star Trek talk coming every week.
