The war against the Dominion is going poorly. The Federation is suffering defeat after defeat, and the death toll is rising. One last hope remains: to bring the Romulan Star Empire into the war effort against the Dominion. But the Romulans are hesitant to commit to the war, as they've cozied up to the Dominion in the hopes that the war eliminates all of their enemies. In "In the Pale Moonlight", Captain Sisko must decide how far he is willing to go to save the Alpha Quadrant. Are the values of the Federation sacrosanct, or must he prove Section 31 correct? The war has taken many lives, and it just might take Sisko's soul. In this podcast, Wes and Clay discuss the critically acclaimed episode and try to measure the RPM of Gene Roddenberry in his coffin! Plus! The guys talk about the ethics of "the needs of the many", the joy of seeing a Romulan, and the problems with the final scene! Support Clay's Kickstarter at bloodyhel.com!
