Chief O'Brien is put in an awkward position. Join your horrified hosts as they discuss brilliant storytelling, amazing acting, and the value of humor in the context of trauma. We somehow manage to squeeze quite a lot of fun out of this intense and distressing DS9 classic! Link to Kate Mora's thread on Strange New Worlds' Vulcan clip: https://x.com/jedikat71/status/1817443202967994478 Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware! Next week: We get Dan's algorithm to select us the perfect episode of Star Trek to discuss - most likely something from TOS! Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
