We watched twenty six episodes of Evangelion on Netflix. We pretty much know all about it now. More than all those anime kids, for sure.

Tacking Into the Wind
Odo is sick. The Klingons and the Alliance have a problem. Empires of all sorts must change or be destroyed. Have you tacked before? Tacking into themes.
Bobby Moynihan Cardasssian: What’s his actual name?
Oh wait, is this the culmination of the post TNG plot for the Klingons? Worf: Avatar of regime change.

Dot dot dot. A lot is poured into this episode.
Kira joins the faculty at terrorism school, Julian digs up some Section 31 dirt, and more!
Did this episode take interesting concepts and make them tedious? We’re divided!

The Dominion War and Books.
Ezri and Worf get home. Earth is attacked. Solbor! Nooo! Oh and something happens to the Defiant.
The one with all the research.

James and Hugh watched the new Bob Dylan doc on netflix, “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story By Martin Scorsese”
Wade didn’t watch it. Turns out he didn’t miss much?
Throwback: Duet (RIP Peter Allan Fields)
Sad to hear about the passing of Peter Allan Fields, arguably our favorite writer throughout all our time with Deep Space Nine. People talk about the first two DS9 seasons being bad, yet one of the best episodes in all of Star Trek showed up right at the end of Season One. “Duet” pulls a lot from the movie “The Man in the Glass Booth,” but we didn’t even mind a cover song at this point. We were so new to podcasting, and we weren’t exactly sure the best way to cover the Holocaust and the banality of evil, but I was happy with how this episode turned out. Weird to think back to the before-times in the front half of 2016 -three years ago that feels like thirty- when things like concentration camps and antisemitism weren’t a given feature of the news cycle. Maybe this episode is worth revisiting!

Strange Bedfellows
Part Three of the final arc! Ezri/Worf: Still captured. Dukat/Winn: Trouble brewing. Sisko/Kasidy: Marriage is war? Damar’s story is getting good.
The episodes run together. Kai Ratched becomes a satanist.

As we near the end of DS9 on The Rules of Acquisition, we took a look back at how things have changed since we started the podcast over three years ago. Fatherhood upcoming and established is remarked upon. James recounts the end of a long term plan and moving to California.

Til Death Do Us Part
Sisko’s space mom doesn’t want him getting married. Kai Winn gets a gentleman caller. Ezri gets a love interest she’s barely talked to in any of her featured episodes. All the plots have romance.
Well, bully for that I guess.
Field of Streams- Good Omens
In more “Hugh and Wade watched a thing” we cover the Amazon streaming show based on Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s book Good Omens.
Did we like it? Who was the junior partner in this book collaboration? How did Neil do adapting this to screen all by himself? Should you watch it, or should you be elitist and just read the book? Is Beck the Neil Gaiman of music?
