Week 5: Episode List

This week we close out Season 2 and start Season three. If there is one way I can sum up this week, it is that it is Enemies Week. Four of our six episodes this week will introduce enemies for this series. Expect that as we close out Season 2 that the surprises will mount all coming to a head as sea...

TOS S2E4 - Mirror Mirror

I selected this episode as background for an upcoming DS9 episode. It has been years since I saw this episode, and it held up much better than I remember. This episode is a transporter accident episode, where the landing party (as they use to be called) are transported to a Mirror universe, where ev...

S2E22 - The Wire

I selected this episode because this may be the closest anyone ever gets to Garak's background. I also think this is one of the better episodes of the series. This episode, Garak collapses from the overuse of a unique implant that he has; one that turns pain into pleasure. Garak has been running the...

TNG S7E24 - Preemptive Strike

I picked this episode because it has a Marquis tie-in, and it helps conclude the Ensign Ro storyline (if you were with us in the TNG watch club). As with most of Season 7 TNG, the writers are wrapping up storylines for characters, and this is Ro's episode. We get to see Lt. Laren, as she has complet...

S2E20 and 21 - The Maquis

I picked these episodes because they introduce the Maquis a group that will occupy the next few seasons of the show. In addition, it helps to conclude the Ensign Ro storyline, and kicks off Voyager. These episodes show that that Starfleet does not have everything under control. On the edges of the F...

Re: Dax and Odo

In these early seasons, the writers did not have a good grasp on either character. Lucky for us, they get much better at writing for both of them in the coming seasons. I don't want to spoil anything, but I think both of these characters get a real boost in stories come season 4. The events of Seaso...

Re: S2E19 - Blood Oath

That bit of dialog is about the most Fate thing I have ever heard.

S2E19 - Blood Oath

I picked this episode because this is a turning point for Dax in terms of her character growth and development. It is one of my favorite episodes of the whole series, and it introduces Kor the Dahar Master. For me, this is the episode that takes Dax from the mousy science officer and turns her into ...
