Week 2: Episode List

Hello. This week we finish up Season 1. Compared to the rest of the watch party, we will go through this season and the second season fairly quickly. While the later season's writing and stories are exceptional, season 1 is no slouch. In fact, what I consider to be one of the best episodes in the se...

S1E10 - The Nagus

I picked this episode because it introduces the Grand Nagus and does some world-building on Ferengi culture. The main storyline is a Quark story. We start by meeting the Nagus, who's thirst for physical pleasures is only second for his thirst for Latnium. The story starts to deepen the Ferengi cultu...

Re: S1E2 - A Man Alone

I selected this episode because it does a better introduction of Nog. Nog is going to be a really important DS9 minor character and has one of the best story arcs. So I wanted to make sure you get to see him from the start. This episode does a bunch to show that DS9 is not the Enterprise. I think th...

Re: S1E6 - Q-Less

I picked this episode because of the continuation of Q and Vash. I really like how everyone in Starfleet knows what Q is, and Sisko is having none of it. I did not like the way Q behaved with Vash, it is a bit stalker-ish and at times made me uncomfortable. As for Julian, I did not like what the wri...

S1E3 - Past Prologue

I picked this episode for two reasons... GARAK! I love this character so much, and I suspect many of you will as well, as the series goes on. Garak's introduction is so good. This show was made at a time where there was not going to be a gay relationship on the show, but Garak's coming onto Bashir i...

S1E1 - Emissary (Parts 1 & 2)

This is the pilot of the series, and of course, it had to be watched. As pilots, go this one is pretty well done. This series has the benefit of 5 seasons of TNG. The world is better established, the effects budgets were better, the effects technology was better. As a story, this story packs a lot i...
