Did a lack of conflict or Complications dim “The Brightest Star”?
What worked about “The Escape Artist?
Oh no. Ohhh noooo.
Ferengi women get to wear clothes and Quark gets a sex change.
This episode, for all its faults… they only get worse with age.
Jake and Nog, behind enemy lines with a buncha teens!
Cadet Kelly Clarkson?
What starts off looking like a NohJay Ferengi Nagus episode takes a wrong turn and detour into a muddled mess.
See, we still do voicemails!
It’s been tumultuous in the back half of season 6. We hear voicemails from Greg, Warren, Adam, and read some emails.
Can we get our minds right?

There’s a new self aware Hologram in the world of Star Trek. Deep Space Nine gets its resident nostalgia laced crooner and self help guru. Vic Fontaine, ladies and gentlemen.
Intro – We just got a whole bunch of crap to go over, and we start like a shotgun blast.
Chapter 9: The Rood in the Wall (skip to 21:06) – An actor from Doctor Who: The Trial of the Time Lord acts like an American detective for awhile. It both is and is about shoehorning shit into a story.

Intro – We are getting tired. And the book starts to wear thin on some of us.
Chapter 5: The Rafters and the Beams (skip to 6:40) – We get the history of African immigrants to Northampton. Black Charley leaves the third dimension. A new character is introduced.
Chapter 6: Under the Bridge of All Saints (skip to 24:17) – A play about pedophilia. And incest. Becketts and Johns are there. We have a strong reaction to it.

Wade is joined by Courtney Bowen and Lane Bowen to talk about the Short Trek, “Calypso,” written by novelist Michael Chabon.
Just how many scifi references can three people see in a 15 minute short? From Her to Ursula K. Le Guin, to Mass Effect, and Asimov’s Foundation.
