For some bizarre reason, I decided to watch an entire episode of SNL on Hulu the other night while gaming. I guess it’s because everyone was talking about the Ambiguously Gay Duo bit that ran… I don’t know. Whatever it was, I’ll stab it in the face next time it accosts me. The clip (embedded [...]

I would be a horribly remiss child of the 80s if I didn’t turn around and post this the second I saw it: I like how the enemy goes from catapults directly to giant robot warmech things. Now that, my friends, is how to win an arms race. I haven’t listened to the audio yet, [...]

Another strong episode stirring social issues (and Bajor! Suprise!) into the mix. In this case we have some creationism vs. evolution shenanigans (I know, right?) BUT unfortunately they don’t have to actually resolve the issues (they do try though, and most folks are level headed about it. Kind of.) Morn mills around in the background [...]

A really strong episode, maybe the strongest so far. This dude (Harris Yulin, some guy I’ve never heard of that looks like a vet single episode actor) gives a great performance as a captured Cardassian. Beyond that, I won’t say what happens. It’s not quite as predictable as these things usually are. The ending kind [...]

This one was a little annoying to watch as everyone except Odo got mentalized by some alien “telepathic matrix” and started re-enacting some ancient mutiny. Basically, it was an excuse for them all to ham it up (persons of drama!) like there was no camera watching. BUT. On the bright side, they were hunting for [...]

This was a pretty well done episode in general. We meet another Gamma quadrant lifeform – this one a digital “puppy” that now lives in the computer system. I wonder if they’ll ever come back to that? I hope so. Lots of possibilities there. Diana Troy’s mom pops up, and hits on Odo and they [...]

Another split-plot episode. A-plot: Kira talking to some old man with lots of stories about relocating him, some kind of like thing with the value of one’s home and relocation and stuff. And Kira learns a lesson. CUT! Also, people don’t know how to set phasers for stun and almost accidentally kill old men. And [...]

OK, the B-plot here was the dumbest plot so far. I’m not even gonna go into it, other than to say that it was really dumb. The A-plot involved a young Bajoran girl thrust into a leadership position via the death of her parents, and now she’s stuck trying to negotiate with her group’s Hatfield [...]

This one went by pretty quick, probably because I was playing a game while watching it :). So, Kai Opaka, the Bajoran (why do I always want to spell it “Bjoran”?) Pope type deal (but female, and they apparently only have 1 major religion) wants to visit DS9. Cool. Then she wants to take a [...]

In which we encounter a 3rd gamma quadrant species, which is also incredibly douchey, and saves us from having to interact with them again (or the writers having to write them again) by “knowing all about” DS9 and the wormhole & having no desire to interact with them. A brief recap: species 1: hunts sentients [...]
