07/11/24 • 61 min
Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) discuss “Things Past” as we take a look at a difficult moment in Odo’s past. We praise the writing and directing of the episode, we celebrate the deep character study of Odo and we analyze what the writer is saying about structures of law and justice. Matthew derails every one of Jo’s segues and Jo loves a good villain.
As always, be prepared that spoilers may be lurking around every corner just like Garak on Empok Nor.

S5E7 - "Let He Who Is Without Sin..."
Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) “Let He Who Is Without Sin...” go to Risa as we pod about Worf and his wild antics in this episode. We talk about Worf and sports for a surprisingly long time, we argue that maybe Leeta shouldn’t have told Bashir about Rom right after breaking up with the good doctor and of course we talk about Curzon Dax dying from Snu Snu. Matthew explains the problem with Star Wars and Jo is just happy that Worf isn’t bi/pan-phobic, he’s just a jealous lover.

S5E9 - "The Ascent"
Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) make “The Ascent” as we discuss this Odd Couple of an episode featuring the pairings of Odo/Quark and Jake/Nog. We enjoy the continued dynamic between Odo and Quark, we can’t help but laugh at Odo’s Gumby-esque broken leg, we speculate that DS9 is told from Rom’s POV and we ponder if Star Trek is considered with the future anymore. Matthew asks if Rom is Forrest Gump and Jo rants about Nog and Jake’s flat.
