Terok Noir: A Star Trek Podcast

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) hang out with the “Sons of Mogh” as we talk Star Trek siblings! We avoid addressing the weird racial issues brought up in this episode the way Worf avoids acknowledging he has a son, we debate ethics and consent around Kurn’s memory being erased and we get excited about the flirty fighting between Dax and Worf. Matthew rants about Libertarian Worf and Jo asks if Sarek, Spock’s father, is the Nick Cannon of Star Trek.

As always, be prepared that spoilers may be lurking around every corner just like Garak on Empok Nor.

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) try to avoid the “Crossfire” as we discuss this week of “sad boi Odo” theater. We discuss romance and unsuccessful crushes in Star Trek, enjoy the development of Odo and Quark’s unlikely friendship and spend an awful lot of time talking about how much we love the show Grand Designs. Matthew once again asks about the state of security on Deep Space 9 and Jo rants about Kira’s boring boyfriends.

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) welcome “The Visitor” to the pod as we talk about one of the most deeply moving, timeless episodes of Star Trek. We put this episode in conversation with the classic TNG episode “The Inner Light”, we praise the acting of Tony Todd and how he and Avery Brooks were able to deliver the same intimate, father/son relationship that Avery Brooks and Cirroc Lofton have developed over the course of the series and we explore what this episode is saying about Jake’s grief and connect it to how the series premiere addresses Ben’s grief. Matthew asks if Jake Sisko is responsible for the Dominion War and Jo rants about Starfleet uniform timeline continuity

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) look “Through the Looking Glass” as we return to the Mirror Universe. We take a Marxist reading on the mirror universe, contrast sexual liberation in the mirror universe and sexual repression in the prime universe and we talk about our favorite “Space Dad” having sex with his co-workers. Matthew asks if Mirror Jennifer is the biggest bootlicker to ever lick boots and Jo rants about dual wielding pistols.

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) are the “Distant Voices” this week saying that this episode of DS9 sucks. We wait as long as possible before we have to actually start talking about this episode, then when we do we discuss “old acting” across Star Trek and we look at what doesn’t work in this episode and propose what could have worked better. Matthew asks if we pulled 10 random people off a NYC subway would they be able to do a better acting job in this episode and Jo talks at length about The Man From Snowy River.
