[TONGO 7] Captain's Holiday (TNG 3.19) (with Kregg Castillo) 2:52:14

2:52:14

The world, as we know it, has changed since Reopening the Wormhole disappeared. In the multi-year absence of America’s Favorite Podcast, society has begun to crumble; systems have collapsed, governments have disintegrated, and the world order feels like a distant memory. Is it too late for humanity to be saved? Is the return of RTW too little, too late? We can only hope that it’s not, as we release the next in our Tongo Wheel experience: the classic TNG episode Captain’s Holiday! Recorded all the way back in 2023 (oh how young and naive we once were), this episode sees the Ferenginator Kregg joining the RTW hosts to talk about Picard Indiana Jonesing his way through adventure, love, and irascible Ferengi shenanigans. Can this delayed release atone for RTW’s prolonged absence, or will it remain one last gasp of hope for a dying race? Time will tell… Be on the lookout for a Pissedcard Smackdown, and an epic rap by Jack. And rejoice for the beautiful, easy banter of a bygone era. VASH THE STAMPEDE!!!

You think Star Trek is just space guys philosophizing about morality? You think things never get spooky? I’ve got a very real giant black cat and dungeon with skeletons that say otherwise! That’s right, since it’s Halloween, we had to talk about the ONLY Star Trek Halloween episode: the original series’s Catspaw! Join Sam, Jack, and Kevin for an exciting discussion about whether this episode is scary, the quaint comfort of terrible original series episodes, and a lot of discussion about Korob, Sylvia, and the weird wand. Sam also takes us on a journey through some internet listicles about “the scariest Star Trek episodes” (spoiler: some of the choices are silly), and the team discusses all the great horror movies that have come out thus far in 2022. Not to mention another thrilling trip to the old mailbag! This discussion will enthrall all extragalactic beings, including those who can experience no sensation! And coming soon, to a podcast device near you: the continuing journey of the Tongo wheel! Have a spooky, spooky Halloween.

The wormhole is, indeed, in need of some reopening, yet again! Our Tongo extravaganza is not quite complete, and here we are joined by Cam Siemer of What Were We Watching and Young Jedi Knights Club, as well as our resident Ferengi expert Kregg, to talk about this Troi-centric episode of TNG, in which another empath boards the station and seduces our fair counselor, with, as Jethro Tull it, bad intent, and a delegation of Ferengis and others haggle over the discovery of a *GASP* stable wormhole?! What is this, DEEP SPACE NINE? No, my friends, it is not, but it is the return of RTW, an episode recorded literal months ago that we are thrilled to finally have out there in the ether. Will there be another gap of notable size between this episode and the next? I DO NOT KNOW. Hopefully not? Time will tell. Anyway, enjoy this discussion and some dope rhymes.

I’ve heard of Shakespeare in Love, but Picard in Love? Yeah, it happened… and the RTW crew is more than ready to talk with Sean Davis about Picard’s love, Riker’s r-rated joke, Worf’s seductive growl, and since it’s a Tongo episode, you KNOW Ferengi scholar Kregg is there to add his take on some Ferengi whose horniness is only surpassed by their greed (like any good Ferengi). So enjoy a bizarre game show, some Trek talk, an epic rap, a dip into listener email for some Ryan Trek Updates (and more), and all the wild stuff you’ve come to love from the dolts of Reopening the Wormhole. Like drunken tangents. A lot of those. And get ready for more Tongo and whatever the HELL we feel like tossing your way at sporadic times throughout this new year! Because it’s Covid season baby!

Are you still reeling from our epic Caretaker takedown? Well that’s too bad! We’ve got our thrilling annual Halloween episode coming right at ya! The RTW boys fight through a myriad of technical difficulties to discuss this creepy, weird TNG episode, which is fondly remembered for scarring Jack & Sam as children.

We couldn’t let you guys celebrate the spooooookiest day of the year without some Trek in your life!

The Tongo Journey continues with Quark’s historic appearance in the first episode of Voyager. Warning to Voyager fans: we love you, but if you have trouble with dissenting opinions about this pilot, please do not listen. Sean Davis joins the regular RTW hosts, Sam, Jack, and Kevin, as well as Ferengiman Kregg, to discuss this disjointed, bizarre, messy pilot episode of Star Trek: Voyager. They salvage what they can from the mess, but mostly spend several hours bemoaning its many flaws. Consider these friendly nerds the caretakers of your heart as you listen to them assert deep discomfort with the way this pilot chooses to build its characters, establish its story, and set a tone. Again, Voyager fans, we still love you, but we do not shy away from expressing our negative viewpoints on this pilot, so please be warned!

The Tongo Experiment ventures into its second outing to talk about the TNG season six episode, Suspicions! In a rare Dr. Crusher-centric episode, she becomes Detective Bevs in order to solve the mysterious murder of a Ferengi scientist on board the ship to test out his groundbreaking invention. As always, Ferengiman Kregg joins in to weigh the good, the bad, and the tasty (mmm those Jo’Bril snacks) of this middling episode. Does the mystery aspect hold up? How do we feel about the concept of a Ferengi scientist? And what’s that new rap gonna be like? (Hint: it’s dope). Stay tuned to the end for a mailbag extravaganza, where we read and respond to a whole slew of mails from listeners. And stick around for dessert, we’re serving up heaping helpings of Jo’Bril.

We’ve heard your cries, your desperate pleas: “Why won’t this Star Trek podcast just give in and do a Mortal Kombat episode already?” Well the time is here! After years of unexpectedly breaking into tangents about the popular video game franchise, it only seemed right that the RTW boys would jump at the opportunity to discuss the newly released Mortal Kombat film. After a big nostalgic trip down memory lane about their experiences playing the famously violent games as children, the RTW hosts, along with special guest Cam Siemer of What Were We Watching, get into the nitty gritty of what works, what doesn’t, and just how it compares to the classic 1995 film adaptation. And Cam brings the Big Cam Energy by encouraging the guys to rank the fatalities in the movie, and also to breeze through an ENTIRE bracket about all the characters in the film in under 10 minutes. It’s a nostalgic trip down blood-soaked Kombat Lane that Kombat fans won’t want to miss! RTW WINS! Flawless Victory. (P.S. let me save you the trouble: since this episode went long, the guys didn’t get around to mailbag checking, but stay tuned for some mail readings on the next episode as the guys return to Trek with the long awaited second Tongo episode!)

But there’s a lot of mud to sling at this episode, and the RTW crew and Ferengi Expert Kregg are ready to call this episode out for its inanity. We’re not in Ferenginar anymore, dear listeners, but we’re excited to be bringing more Trek Talk to all of you, and we’re thrilled to have Kregg alongside us. And without Rappin’ Jake Sisko, will there be a replacement rapper? Tune in to find out!

2020 was a lot of things, but if there’s one thing it’ll be remembered as, it’s that it’s the year of 3 Star Trek shows. It was just too significant for the RTW boys to not share their thoughts with listeners, so they geared up to have a brief look down memory lane about the Year in Trek of 2020, and the year in general. What they got instead of over four hours of chit chat, including a ton of talk about Picard, Lower Decks, and Discovery, as well as a series of recommendations from all three hosts, as well as a high level of navel-gazing. It wouldn’t be a post-DS9 episode of RTW if there wasn’t a high level of self-congratulatory banter about our favorite episodes of our own shows, and our favorite songs that WE wrote. Spirits flow as spirits run high. Listeners who want general discussions about the three Trek seasons of 2020 won’t want to miss this episode. And if you’re looking for recommendations outside of Star Trek…. You’ve come to the right place!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good… FRIGHT? The boys are back in their Christmas best to talk about yet another Christmas-based property that has a tangential relationship to Star Trek. It’s the 2015 Canadian horror anthology A Christmas Horror Story, starring none other than William Shatner as drunken radio DJ Dangerous Dan. The guys have fun talking about this middling film and the varying qualities of the stories in the anthology, including one about Santa murdering zombie elves. As always, several digressions take place, as Kevin talks about his Coen Bros journey, and then an email from a listener opens up a much larger conversation about film. So spread the holiday cheer by listening to these three buffoons blabber on about this silly movie, and its many highs and lows. Have a merry Christmas, listeners, and a happy New Year! And don’t let Krampus, the vile enemy of Christmas, find you!

[BONUS] Jack's Scrumpy Little Friendly Neighborhood Birthday Bracket (with Barm & Jason Butze) 2:17:57

A birthday just isn’t a birthday unless you spend it talking at length about Deep Space Nine characters with your buddies! (I guess most of our birthdays haven’t been birthdays… that’s gloomy…) Luckily for us, there are enough fascinating characters on Deep Space Nine that we could load two completely different brackets, and still have some left over. So to celebrate the anniversary of Jack’s birth (as well as that of StarMom TechnoBarbara, and president-elect Joe Biden), the RTW team has gathered two of their favorite recurring guests to have big, long discussions about things like what Nicolas Cage as Moogie would be like, what Gowron would be like as a Thanksgiving guest, and how Grand Nagus Zek would fit into the Guardians of the Galaxy. They also take a quick dip into some listener mail, and go off the rails in all sorts of ways. Even if you can’t be there in Japan to celebrate Jack’s birthday in person, you can vicariously enjoy the nerdy discussions that made this birthday bash a night to remember!

As All Hallow’s Eve approaches, the Reopening the Wormhole crew felt a swelling of the Spooky Spirit that could only be expressed by watching this classic(?) somewhat spooky episode of TNG and discussing it for the benefit of you, the listener. The trend continues of discussing a generally maligned episode from the final season of TNG: Sub Rosa. In this steamy episode, Dr. Crusher falls in love with what appears to be a handsome ghost while tending to her recently-deceased grandmother’s affairs. While this episode is often cited as one of the worst Star Trek episodes, there may be some dissenting opinions among the RTW crew. Tune in to find out! And also, to hear the guys discuss some horror movies they’ve been watching recently, some general thoughts on Star Trek: Lower Decks, the validity of Scottish accents, and the sadly infrequent intrusions of eroticism across all Trek shows. So put on your best anaphasic ghost costume and prepare for the creeeeeeepiest, spoooooooookiest RTW episode of the year! This episode is sponsored by VOTING!

Are you wearing your masks when you go out? We sure hope so! And we hope they’re more effective than the masks worn by Data & Picard in this infamous episode of TNG. Regarded by many as one of the worst episodes of the show, we felt the time was right to give it the RTW treatment. It’s got many of the hallmarks of fun TNG episodes: Brent Spiner acting like a weirdo, Picard nerding out about anthropology, surreal atmosphere, strange visuals… one of the hosts even claims to be a Masks apologist. But there’s a lot to unpack in this bizarre 45 minutes of television. In addition to the episode discussion, we open the mailbag and catch up with the listeners, have a discussion about video games we like, launch into a Masks rap, and so very much more. Like Masaka, Reopening the Wormhole is RISING (in quality).

RTW will go on forever! In perpetuity, doing random bonuses! And we are BACK, to quote the Romulans. This time, we’re making a big fun celebration to honor the anniversary of RTW host Kevin by taking part in a big ol’ DS9 character bracket! Kevin’s twin (whose birthday it also is) Paul Wall joins, along with his wife Jacalyn. In a fun twist on the standard tournament bracket, each choice is dictated by a unique question, hatched by the hosts themselves. While they wrestle with questions like “Who would you rather wake up next to after a night of drinking: Sisko or Damar”, they also get into tons of classic RTW tangents, silliness, and pedantry that you all know and love. Be on the lookout for three new very silly musical compositions by the team. And place your bets as to who will win the ultimate DS9 character bracket! You may be surprised at who ultimately takes it…. And keep your eyes peeled for our next random bonus episode! Coming soon to a podcast listening device near you!

It’s Albatross! When Bones is held responsible for a plague that killed off an entire species of weird-looking aliens, it’s up to the Enterprise crew to exonerate him, and it’s up to the RTW crew to talk about how lazy and goofy the animation is in this show. Always a treat, the guys have a blast talking about this beautiful, weird gift from the 70s, while allowing digressions into all sorts of subjects. It’s the banter you know and love, but this time, from a Covid-aware perspective! So put on your PPE and get ready to get VIRAL with this deep, deep dive into a silly old cartoon!

The wormhole is always going to reopen when you least expect it! And here we are, on Friday the 13th… RTW is taking a look at yet another important franchise reboot movie from 2009 that is in some way related to Star Trek - although the relation in this case is a little less obvious. In 2009’s Friday the 13th reboot, Nana Visitor, our very own Kira Nerys, plays the iconic role of Pamela Voorhees, mother of the famous Jason… for all of about 90 seconds. What ensues after that is a fairly standard Jason movie, with some good scares, dopey characters, and people dying horribly. The RTW crew reveals the depth of their Jason fandom in this upsettingly long episode, talking about everything from the Weed Hick to classic(?) PS3 game Heavy Rain to their history with horror and Jason movies, along with all the RTW features you’ve come to know and love, and, as the alcohol and the lateness slowly takes a hold of them, they cap it off by ranking all of the Friday the 13th movies from best to worst. And of course, when Rappin’ Jake fails to step up to the plate for this movie, Sam, Kevin, and Jack are up to the task for a replacement rap. There’s a lotta JASON? JASON! love to go around here, and a lot of nerdy pals making nerdy references to nerdy stuff. Basically what you’d expect from a 3-hour episode of a Star Trek podcast about a Jason movie… I guess… To hear your email read on a future mailbag episode, mail us at: reopeningthewormhole@gmail.com Check out Jack on Jack’s Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek: Discovery, Short Trek, and Picard Podcast at jacksdiscovery.libsyn.com or on Apple Podcasts.

We’re covering several categories related to both Deep Space Nine and Reopening the Wormhole, reading some listener email with some great suggestions for retrospective topics, and overall, having an absolute blast talking about DS9, podcasting, and all the fun we’ve had over the years. You’re probably asking yourself: how is this just part 1? It’s three hours! Well… you are underestimating our penchant for navel-gazing and talking Trek.

After a loooooong hiatus punctuated only by Xmas cheer in December, RTW is returning with the long-awaited mailbaggery you’ve all been clamoring for! Technical difficulties held us back for a few months, but nothing can stop us from reading and responding to every single one of your emails. The guys are answering all sorts of questions, DS9-related and otherwise, from fans of all stars and stripes. Among the topics listeners are asking about: the universal translator, reactions to our divisive Hollow Man episode, discussions of some listener to 10 emails, Technobabble, and so much more. No matter how long it’s been since we finished discussing every episode of Deep Space Nine, our love for the show will never wane, and we will keep having discussions just like this both on and off the podcast. Because Star Trek is, like, cool. Look forward to the forthcoming Retrospective episodes to hear our detailed thoughts on our experience with Deep Space Nine and this podcast that ran our lives for so many years!

After a couple months off, we’re going to be back intermittently with THINGS. OF. INTEREST!!!! For Xmas this year, we just couldn’t resist getting together to watch one of our favorite sci-fi Xmas tales, the season 2 Futurama episode Xmas Story! After the guys take a moment to mourn the tragic loss of some significant Trek people, Kevin gives a rundown of a Rene Auberjonois-starring Xmas movie you can watch on Disney+, and the guys break down some of the other wacky ideas they tossed around before settling on doing this Futurama episode for the holidays. Then they get into the nitty-gritty about this hilarious and heart-warming episode, followed by the standard features you’ve come to know and love. And you’d better believe there’s more coming down the pipeline! There’s three already-recorded episodes in the bag that just need to be put through the wormhole processor before they make their way to your earholes, but we just HAD to get you guys in the RTWXMas spirit first!

A grand finale requires the grandest of episodes. And here it is, finally! After a 4-year journey, we’ve arrived at the thing that listeners almost certainly want: a nearly-five-hour-long, in-depth, off-the-wall discussion with a dog snoring in the background. If you’re a long-time listener, YOU KNEW THIS WAS COMING. We get into the nitty-gritty of the end of the Dominion War, the tragic (and not-so-tragic) death of multiple characters, the Bajoran fire caves, and so so so so so much more. And of COURSE there are detours to talk about things like Mortal Kombat, Spider-Man movies, and all the hallmarks of these three Trek fans who can’t stay on topic. It’s our final regular episode, and of course we have a LOT to get off our chests. And stay tuned to the end as we have a big discussion about series finales – which ones we like, which ones we don’t, and how What You Leave Behind stacks up. You’ll also find a whopping 8 new musical compositions (and more old ones) spread throughout the episode. 3 years from now, when you’re done listening to the episode in its entirety, you’ll be crying to yourself “WHY RTW! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO!” Well don’t worry, we’ll be back soon with some mailbag episodes and a big old retrospective about DS9 and about our experience on the podcast. And stay subscribed for random bonus episodes when you least expect them. What we leave behind is a weird podcast that changed our lives, and hopefully those of our listeners, for the better. Lastly, we dedicate this, our finale, to one of our favorite Ferengis, Aron Eisenberg. May he rest in peace.…

This week, the RTW crew decided to postpone their episode about the series finale of DS9, and instead are taking a deep dive into the DS9 documentary. You’ll remember back in May of this year, Sam & Kevin had the privilege to see the film in theaters, but Jack was sadly unable to see it himself. Go back and listen to that episode for our larger discussion, featuring Jack listening on forlornly as Sam, Kevin, and Commander Sisko excitedly gush about the incredible film. But now that the crew owns the BluRay, they can finally get Jack’s hot take on Ira Steven Behr’s beard, and on all the things they neglected to mention to Jack. They’ll also be discussing the bonus features, and talking in some detail about all the deleted scenes, and, of course, taking detours to make obscure Simpsons references. It’s a good way for the RTW crew to get hyped up about our upcoming last regular RTW episode!!!! Coming soon!

RTW is letting loose the Dogs of War! That’s right! It’s our penultimate regular DS9 episode! And oohhhhh what an episode it is. Our Ferengi expert and friend Kregg Castillo is along for the ride to discuss the end of the Ferengi storyline on DS9, and so so so so so much more. In fact, at OVER 4 HOURS LONG, this one officially surpasses Indiscretion as our longest episode ever! That’s because there’s so much to talk about in this episode, and on top of that, we’re getting nostalgic for the wild and crazy ride RTW has been for us all and for our fans. It’s a gushy as it is weird, as emotional as it is stupid, and so filled with music. Not the least of which is the latest P-Unit song acting as the intro for the episode, and the debut of Rappin Kregg Sisko. You’d think that with only a single Trek Check, we’d be able to keep it to a reasonable length, but nope! We’re taking detours and playing new songs and old favorites and saying AHH NIIICE so many times, and, of course, disagreeing over the new Nagus. We pulled out all the stops to make this the Ferengi extravaganza to rule them all; it may take you several days to hear it all, but it’s all worth it to hear the insight, the bad jokes, the weird jingles, and, of course, countless digressions to discuss other things. It is everything you could want AND MORE. Just… LISTEN TO IT.

With the Dabo Wheel spinning its final spin, and only two episodes of Deep Space Nine left, things are getting heated at RTW headquarters. And as the end draws nearer and nearer, the hosts of RTW are taking a somber and serious approach to crafting the absolute best episodes for their listeners. … Ah who are we kidding? To cover this final randomly-selected episode - a fairly forgettable Sisko-centric episode from season 2 - they’ve churned out an insane 3-hour episode that was recorded from midnight to 3 a.m. for the majority of participants. Returning champion Josh Lee joins the group to discuss his burgeoning DS9 fandom, the slowly deepening Sisko father-son dynamic, Yogi Bear, the merits of self-centered egotist Seyetik, one of the all-time Trek classics on Trek Check, and an impossibly huge number of other subjects. Spirits run high and the excitement is palpable as we come closer to our final DS9 episode. So come join in on the fun! Tell your friends about this amazing Deep Space Nine podcast where they write original music about the show and somehow manage to pull off insightful discussion through the haze of liquor, navel-gazing, and pop culture references. An unexpected guest spits hot fire on a song buried deep in the Rappin Jake Sisko segment. The DS9 episode may not be one of the best, but the RTW crew are churning out some of their loopiest and best work to date.

In this one, we spend some time exploring the good doctor’s morality, his arrogance, his strengths, and his flaws, through the story of a planet on which all inhabitants are born with a fatal illness. It’s a heavy Star Trek episode, and Ghibli Minute’s Richard Dunham joins the team for the first time to hash it out. Along the way, they’ll also discuss their thoughts on the new trend of live action Disney movies, one of the all-time best Quark moments that starts this episode, Michael Stipe, a stellar set of Trek Check episodes, and so much more. Stay tuned to the end to hear a special announcement from Jack, and to discover how the RTW crew escapes their own terrifying encounter with the Blight. And, of course, to hear the FINAL DABO WHEEL SPIN!!!! With only three episodes left, time is running short! The crew plans on making somewhat big productions out of the final three, so they may be moving to a two-week schedule - at least until the show is over. But the end of DS9 is not the end for us!

The episode is chock-full of fun, with bad-Russian-accent Kira, eyepatch O’Brien, a surprise Eddington, and, best of all, Avery Brooks as absolutely one of the best James Bond villains ever. Eric Ambler (of What Were We Watching) and Sean Davis (of After the Credits) join us for this super-sized discussion and bring their unique perspectives as a DS9 non-fan and a Bashir superfan, respectively, to this episode, and the conversation veers off into all sorts of crazy directions! Stick around for the whole 3+ hours to hear Sean & Sam talk about their experience at the DS9 panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, LOTS of Bond talk, some other fun surprises, and… an entire conversation about guns?!

Kristina Kephart makes another appearance to discuss this barnburner of an episode, and brings with her an incredible gift that may prove useful in helping the RTW team avoid yet another catastrophe set in motion by the Ancient Bajoran Christian Texts. There is so much packed into this episode, it’s hard to believe it all happens in under 45 minutes - and 45 minutes is not even CLOSE to enough time to give it a sufficient discussion. Will the RTW team manage to side step an ancient and dire prophecy yet again? Tune in and find out! And be on the lookout for a whole slew of new jingles and old favorites.

Many refer to Deep Space Nine as the darkest Trek, and this episode is one of many prime examples of why. As Bashir is confronted with the possibility that he might be a sleeper agent of the Dominion, Starfleet’s own Sloan is forced to reveal his true identity, and that of Section 31, the mysterious section of Starfleet that operates autonomously and reports to no one, taking care of the “dirty work” that Federation citizens would rather not know of. Little did they know, while penning this episode, what Section 31 would become in subsequent Star Trek incarnations. The gang is joined by Geoff Clarke of the ApeCast to have an extensive discussion about the Section 31 of Deep Space Nine, and the Section 31 of Star Trek: Discovery, weighing the pros and cons of how each one approaches this tricky subject matter. There’s also mild criticism of tired TV tropes, a Holo-Sisko Smackdown, and several small detours. It’s another step on the Federation’s Road to Ruin, and another step on RTW’s Road to Redemption.…

What sweet and strange irony it is to have our eighth-to-last episode be the second episode of Deep Space Nine! All the hours of discussing and dissecting Deep Space Nine has given us a very unique perspective on this early episode, and we are so thrilled to be talking about it for all of you! In the DS9’s first post-pilot episode, we see an old friend from Bajor coming to the station, and the first big test of Kira’s alliances in this new era. We are also introduced to fan favorite Garak in this episode, and he does NOT disappoint. There’s a lot to love here, not the least of which is the most blatant and obvious instance of Garak’s romantic interest in Bashir, and the densest Trek Check we have had and will ever had, including mini-discussions about the second episode of eight different Trek shows! There’s so much to unpack, and these three Garak fanatics unpack, rearrange, repack, and redistribute their thoughts in a glorious, high-energy beam of podcast euphoria! You’ll have a Tahna fun as we discuss Tahna Los! (P.S. stick around at the end for some exceptionally weird outtakes!)…

Deep Space Nine has never been hesitant to ask tough questions, both of its characters, and of its fans. This episode is no exception, as Sisko is forced to face his own status as Emissary, and decide between accepting a renegade Bajoran’s interpretation of an ancient prophecy, or obey his orders from Starfleet. DS9 and RTW fan Chris Madamba joins the team to discuss this significant episode. There’s a lot to unpack here, including some revelations about the way Kira views her position, and her boss (Sisko), a reverse-sexism plot, tired TV tropes and their origins, and the silliness of these sorts of prophecies and their interpretations. If June Gloom’s got you down, this boisterous discussion will be just the thing to put some pep in your step, and and some Yarka in your Parka. And with seven episodes left, the guys for some reason decided to change the theme song for one of their features on the fly. Which one? Listen to find out!…

We are getting dangerously close to the end here! In fact, starting with this episode, we’re counting down to the last ten episodes of Deep Space Nine we’ll be covering. And what a way to kick off our final ten episodes! And by that, we mean what a dull and forgettable episode to be our tenth-to-last… Luckily, we’ve got returning champion RTW fan Derek Lavender, and his wife Morgan, along with us to wring every bit of discussion we can out of this fairly dull early episode. And that we do! As a mysterious stranger helps Odo unravel to unravel a bit more about the mystery of his origins, the RTW crew and their guests are unraveling mysteries like: how is Quark using a French turn of phrase? How significant to future episodes will this strange Changeling-esque object that Croden gave to Odo be? (Answer: not significant). Also, just how valuable are Faberge eggs? All that, plus a super-sized Trek Check and a lotta nerds doin’ what nerds do; the DS9 episode may be a snoozer, but the conversation is a HIT!…

When the RTW crew is faced with an insurmountable task, like having a lively and fun discussion about an episode where a beloved character loses his leg, they meet the challenge with grim determination. Whether or not they succeed is only for the listener to decide, but one thing is certain: war may be Hell, but podcasting is fun! Kregg is along for the ride on this semi-Ferengi-centric episode, and he joins us to discuss his thoughts on the DS9 documentary, as well as on some of Quark’s best monologues about the absurdity of humanity, Nog’s foolish ambition, and so much more. The guys manage to get through the heavy discussion by taking some fun tangents to discuss things like forgotten 80s horror franchise Prom Night (which has a distinct DS9 connection), their thoughts on the end of Game of Thrones, the popularity of Harry Houdini in the future, and so much more. This episode’s got all you want from an episode of RTW: serious discussion and deep thought, general buffoonery, and, of course, strange musical jingles, new and old, scattered throughout. Don’t miss it!…

In case you hadn’t heard… a new retrospective documentary was created by show runner Ira Steven Behr and was released for one night only in theaters. You’d better believe your boys at RTW caught it (or at least, two of them did…), as did returning champion guest, the mysteriously named Commander Sisko! Commander Sisko (no relation to Benjamin) sat down to talk with the guys at length about this loving and beautiful documentary about the show we’ve dedicated so many hours of our lives to discussing. If you haven’t seen the documentary yet yourself, go ahead and listen anyway! You’ll be in the same boat as one of the hosts, listening as the others recount the many insightful interviews, newly revealed secrets about characters, tantalizing behind-the-scenes gossip, and best of all, the top creative writing folks behind DS9 breaking and pitching a potential story for the first episode of season 8! Be on the lookout for some listener mail relating to the episode, another strange new song, and a whole lot of gushing about this exceptional documentary’s ability to unlock new ways for us to appreciate the gorgeous gift that is Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.…

Even during the darkest period of the Dominion War…. There’s always time for a good heist! Deep Space Nine once again proves it can do light-hearted capers with the best of them as the crew outdoes Danny Ocean himself to save Vic’s bar from closure, thanks to a “jack in the box” (?) created by Vic’s holosuite programmer. RTW fan Jason Butze joins the crew to discuss this brilliantly crafted and delightful foray into the world of casinos and professional thievery, his love of Rat Pack-era music, a way-ahead-of-its-time discussion of racial incongruities between the past and the future, the boldness of this episode’s placement, and the greatest duet in the history of TV duets. Stick around to the end for a classic Butze-style random Trek topic discussion, and look out for a couple silly new musical themes. You don’t wanna be sleepin’ with the fishes do ya? What are you, some kinda wise guy? Listen to it now, capiche?!…

Batter up! It’s the epic showdown of the Logicians vs the Niners, and who better go step up to the plate than baseball fan and awesome dude Eric Ambler, of What Were We Watching fame! We’ll be unraveling the sheer joy of this frivolity in the middle of the Dominion War, discussing the skill level of all these aliens at this ancient Earth sport most of them haven’t heard of, lamenting yet another in the series of needlessly rude Vulcans, and delighting in Sisko’s borderline obsession. Keep an ear out for a diversion to discuss Avengers: Endgame (obviously). It’s the bottom of the Deep Space Ninth, and starbases are loaded! Don’t strike out! Listen now!…

What would you sacrifice to save someone you love? How much would your life change if you were never able to gain closure through grieving for departed loved ones? These questions and more are at the heart of The Visitor. It’s been hailed as the greatest Star Trek episode by some, and canonized by Deep Space Nine and television fans alike, and with good reason. Just like Old Man Jake did with his dad in this episode, Old Man Kevin manages to save Jack & Sam from being unstuck from time by making a noble sacrifice, and then they’re all joined by fan favorite Amos Dunn to gush about how gorgeous and damn near perfect this episode is, careening from pure silliness to deep, heartfelt emotion at the drop of a hat, in classic RTW fashion. And, also like just about any great episode of RTW, look for many musical interludes, both old and new.…

After a brief visit from Javisko and Valjeddington, the crew is joined by Jovan Vignjevic to discuss the big Eddington-Les Miserables episode. And you just know you’ve been wanting to explore the world of MathBach; this episode is your chance! We’ll also be discussing the political landscape of Serbia and other Eastern European countries, the complete scariness Sisko exudes in this episode, and the ethics of the Maquis war - is anyone really a good or bad guy? You’d better believe Maquis levels of sadness are achieved swiftly. And you’d better believe that despite all the exciting references to musicals and Michael Eddington, one host will disappear entirely around halfway through the episode. Sometimes, discussing the Eddington-Sisko rivalry can be so exhausting, an RTWer can’t handle it! Tune in to find out who!…

With Hollow Man and the Winter of Star Trek (& Our Discontent) over, the boys have re-materialized and are ready to talk DS9 yet again, and they’re so excited about it. And how could they not be? Worf and Dax are BACK! And they’re having one of their best episodes ever here. On a daring rescue mission to save a Cardassian defector, Jadzia gets shot in the jungle of Soukara, and Worf has to make some tough decisions. It’s an unforgettable episode with a few bizarre touches you may have forgotten, such as the attitude of the Cardassian defector, Worf’s evolving demeanor, and a delightful B story about our other favorite couple, Miles & Julian. Along the way, there will be another odd diversion into the Flintstones extended universe (Flintoverse), superhuman Bashir’s failure to overcome superferengi Quark’s tricks, Sam's slowly-dying voice, and far more forays into Star Trek: Discovery discussion than the hosts or (probably) the listeners are interested in. Just like a bit o' the old laryngitis didn't stop Sam from recording this episode, don't let the sound of a crackly-voiced nerd stop you from enjoying the discussion!…

Just a few weeks into spring, the Winter of Star Trek & Our Discontent is closing out, with an exploration of our discontent via the middling-to-bad 2000 thriller Hollow Man. None of the guys are quite certain about why they’re doing this, but what they are certain of is that Sebastian Cain is a CREEP! They’ll be discussing his descent from supercreep into supermurderer, and along the way, marveling at the effects, which still hold up fairly well, even 20 years later, taking detours to discuss their own tastes in film, a little bit of Oscar Talk, what this movie does right, and what it does very, very wrong (the last 15 minutes of the movie, for example). We know how much you want to keep hearing us talking about mediocre movies from the late 90s/early 2000s, but we will be back to our regularly scheduled Deep Space Nine discussions next week! Until then, enjoy this Bacon-flavored foray into excess!…

You ever wake up to an alarming discovery? Like you slept through your alarm, or you have 10 urgent new unread messages, or you are actually a Cardassian and have been your entire life? We can relate, and so can Kira, in this tense episode from season 3! As Kira tries to sort out whether she is who she thinks she is, the RTW crew realizes that, while this episode is powerful and effective, the intricacies of the plot fall apart under scrutiny. Additionally, they’ll have long discussions about a wonderful Sisko moment, the Mission: Impossible movies, an unexpected Planet of the Apes connection to this episode, what kind of bodily functions vampires have to deal with, and the strangeness of Mexican and Italian food in Japan. And since it appears that episodes over two and a half hours are the norm, you will NEVER run out of great new RTW to listen to! Don't forget to rate us and review us on iTunes!
