Terok Noir: A Star Trek Podcast

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.

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

Terok Noir: S3E18 - "Distant Voices"

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.

Next Episode

Terok Noir: S3E20-21 "Improbable Cause" & "The Die is Cast"

Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) find an “Improbable Cause” to say “The Die is Cast” as we discuss this Garak heavy, two part episode that sets up a lot of future DS9 storytelling. We relish the character work that these two episodes do with Garak and explore his arc up until now and where it leads into the future, we examine the shift this episode marks towards military propaganda in the following seasons of the show and we take a few minutes to talk about how much we hate mother fucking Eddington. Matthew asks if this episode marks the end of Bashir and Garak’s relationship and the beginning of Bashir and Miles’ and Jo rants about vice admiral uniforms.
