Terok Noir: A Star Trek Podcast

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) record our pod “For The Cause” as we talk about mother fucking Eddington and The Maquis. We relitigate the validity of The Maquis’ position and justification for their “terrorist” actions, we consider how this episode complicates the relationship between Ben and Kassidy and even though we hate him, we have to give it up to Eddington for absolutely, completely wrecking Sisko in this episode. Matthew asks if there’s a lot of promiscuity in Federation penal colonies and Jo rants about the whole Garak and Ziyal “thing”

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) meet “The Muse” and we wish she would leave and never be heard of again. Just like this episode. We talk about everything we can to avoid talking about this episode including name dropping elder millennial shit like AskJeeves, Walkmans and Game Gears, we argue about nostalgia and the Enterprise D and we appreciate/elevate authentic, real life experiences over manufactured media we are fed on our devices. Also, we do talk about the episode itself. Eventually. Matthew rants about Paramount + and Jo speculates about the sexuality of everyone on Lwaxana’s husband’s planet.

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) gaze into a “Shattered Mirror” as we return to the Mirror Universe with Jennifer Sisko. We praise Cirroc Lofton’s acting in this episode, we analyze all of Ben Sisko’s actions that have led to this single episode and we revel in the hilarity of this ridiculous but fun episode of Star Trek. We both wonder if Sisko has the heighest kill count of any Federation Captain and Jo rants about how much she loves tall women.

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) do “Hard Time” as we join Miles O’Brien for the WORST virtual reality experience of his life. We compare the prison system in this episode to the American prison system and would you believe, we are not fans, we cast DS9 crew members as the characters from Top Gun and we talk about just how dark, this extremely dark episode of Star Trek gets. Matthew asks if O’Brien has the heart of a killer and Jo rants about how deliciously cunty Richard Chamberlain is in The Count of Monte Cristo.

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) accept “The Assignment” as we crown this our favorite Keiko episode. We argue that the writing and acting from Rosalind Chao gives us the best version of Keiko and best Keiko performance, we track Rom’s ascension to the day shift and Jo has a theory about why she loves theorizing about the O’Brien polycule. Matthew asks just how rough Morn’s life is that he’s at the bar when it opens and Jo questions Keiko’s pronunciation of the word “basil”.
