War is hell. Sisko and crew get put in the middle of it.
What does the end of History and the 90s have to do with this episode? WELL WE’RE GONNA TALK ABOUT IT.
Perpetual Insanity (Discovery S2E11)
How’d he get in that chair?
Good emotional work. Yet…
We yell a lot.
Spock has read Infinite Jest at least 3 times.
What can we say? The show finally broke Sean.

Hashish Platinum- Last Watchmen
Well the KOE brain geniuses have finally gone and done it. The final installment of the Hashish and Superiority Book Club Champagne Room reading of Watchmen has been completed.

Once More Unto the Breach
You guys, Martok HATES Kor.
When Kor shows up at Worf’s drunk in the middle of the night and asks him to do a favor so he can die with dignity, what is a bro supposed to do?
Progressive Left vs the old guard liberals: Worf is Peter Daou.
This 90s television show is all about post Trump politics, right?
Rad Angel (Discovery S2E10)
Rad or… Bad?
The identity of the red angel is revealed! And then some. What is the best way to catch a time traveler who might have pertinant information at its disposal?
Sean is back. Where was he last week and what is going on with Star Trek Discovery?
The streak is broken and Wade wasn’t as big a fan of this episode.
Can Glen do a “short” synopsis? All questions will be answered!
On the Patreon this Week
Even when we’re not yelling loudly about it, there’s stuff going on at the Kicker of Elves patreon. Two short talks we had this week:
The Quiet Ennui of the High School PE Teacher
Where we talked about the games people play and men who yell at teenagers.
And sometime paddle them.
Greatest Edgelords
We talk some about the “controversy” regarding Star Trek and canon, and what that really might be about for some of the angry lads on the internet.
Become a patron and listen to more of us talking! Coming Soon: the end of our Hashish and Superiority Platinum series on Alan Moore’s Watchmen
Treachery, Faith, and the Great River
What happens in this episode? [See title of episode]
The final installment of the Ferengi Pickers Cycle. Kira’s boyfriend also gets an interesting story!
Does DS9 actually do faith ok in this episode?
Project Dad is Us (Discovery S2E09)
The streak of episodes we like continues. A background character gets some background for once and hey they pull off things in this episode of Star Trek: Discovery that S1 did not manage quite so well.
Wade is joined by Glen Hall again, but no Sean Perrotta. Lane Bowen does make a return, but without his wife or infant this time around.
Chrysalis (DS9 S7E05)
One Flew Back to the Cuckoo’s Nest. Do Re OH NO.
Julian brings a patient out of a catatonic state and what’s the first thing he does after?
Julian. Your ethics, man. Has he learned anything over the seasons? How toxic is the masculinity? Are we supposed to be rooting for him or not? How does Miles feel about Julian’s situation?
If I Recall Correctly (Discovery S2E08)
Pike’s imaginary girlfriend shows up and a deep, dark, unforgivable and totally life altering secret shame that Michael Burnham has been hiding for years, comes to light.
[Totally not a rote typical sibling interaction]
Only two companions, Glen and Sean, join Wade this week. But we’re… close. Too close? If you’re still listening after two minutes, Glen baits the hook for an incredible, life affirming joke he’s saving for the end of the pod.
