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!
