NST: DS9 - The Homecoming - Season 2, Episode 1 (Season Premiere)

Liaisons! What if Misery starred Patrick Stewart and was actually kinda lame? Well, that's this episode, I guess. Also, Deanna introduces an entire culture to diabetes, and Worf fights an alien for eleven hours. Typical Star Trek.    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

In the Hands of the Prophets! After about half a season of ignoring the issue, we're finally getting to see the ramifications of Kai Opaka disappearing.

CONTENT WARNING: There are detailed discussions of war crimes, including r*pe, forced labor, and g**ocide.   Duet! Well, we're finally here. DS9 finally dives into some of the heaviest subject matter of the series, specifically all those war crimes Cardassians committed during their occupation of Bajor. Many fans call this one of the best if not the best episode of the entire series, which is high praise given that we're still in season 1. Does the NST crew agree? Well, our answers may surprise you, and for reasons you probably wouldn't expect.    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Second Chances! The episode that definitively proves that the transporter is just a cloning machine. Don't @ us about this, you can't change the facts with all your nerd science, there's literally two Rikers. Anyway, Deanna wants to bone the other Riker, and the other Riker is really made at the other Riker. Also Picard REALLY needs this database for some reason, surely it doesn't contain incriminating evidence.    We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Ask a Trek Expert with Sandy Holland! Last April Fool's, we reviewed "Star Trek: The Next Generation - A XXX Parody" at the behest of fans, and it ended up being a surprisingly good watch! A little over a year later, the editor of that parody, Sandy Holland, reached out to us, and we couldn't pass up an interview with her! Spoilers: there's a lot of shop talk about the industry, XXX and otherwise, but you might be surprised by some of the things we learned!   Check out Sandy's YouTube page here: https://www.youtube.com/@sandyeditor2   We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!
