AU where Kira fucking knifes dukat through his big dumb lizard throat.

At the very first instance he appears.

Garak is hilarious and one of the best parts of DS9, but he is a 100% fascist apologist who occasionally has pangs of conscience and there should be one time he slips up and delivers an eloquent defense of The Occupation to a customer and for the next month it’s a meme to punch him in the face while he’s on The Promenade.

Part two of Worf and Garak being awesome. Dukat: Still a jerk. Right over from the last ep. Is this a new episode or more of a continuation of one long episode. Lets talk about these titles. Why doesn’t the Dominion kill its prisoners? Other runabout questions we might not have answers for… yet. Nerds hate plotholes. Let’s rehash some Ziyal arguments from last episode. But Worf.

[therulesofacquisitionpodcast]

The Dominion War approaches! Are we in the best "3 song run" across all the "albums" of DS9? Is there something different about Bashir? Oh boy, Ziyal: You look different. Wade and James have wildly different ideas about the nature of Garak and Ziyal’s relationship. The best Worf stuff… ever?Chekov’s Breen. Sisko has an idea for the wormhole Kira doesn’t like, should Dax have had something to say about it?The Dukat we knew all along. Garak and Tain come to terms. Does Wade like this better a childhood story than what we got with Worf? Not to switch properties, but let’s talk about that Leia costume. Closing with horrific internet memes. We get a little ahead and confused about what’s in this episode and the next. The dangers of explaining a characters past, i.e. the Wolverine Problem.

WAKE UP! THIS IS EXCELLENT!

WAKE UP!

[x] 

is this not how this episode went??

[therulesofacquisitionpodcast]

Still haven’t watched ENT, but this almost makes me want to.

ALMOST

[therulesofacquisitionpodcast]

Sisko tracks Michael Eddington down and Trekkers everywhere were divided. Our beloved Peter Allen Fields returns! Sisko is angry! Who breaks bad in this episode? The ethics of escalation. Oh, the Victor Hugo. Should Star Trek hold their tongue before throwing shade at the writing of female characters? "Not enough!"

Sisko is not amused

Get out of here with that Javert bs!

[therulesofacquisitionpodcast]

Son of Odo? It's an episode all about parenthood. Odo discovers a little pile of goo and goes through all the feelings a humanoid can feel. Kira gives birth to a son of O'Brien, while her boyfriend gets a little jealous. A and B plot symmetry! A tidbit blows our minds and bums us out. Odo has a bad back- A digression on mattresses. Bajoran birthing practices… are odd.

“Shut up, Dad. You don’t understand me”

Oh. Hey tumblr. Long time no see. We recorded a Star WARS podcast for all the trekkies to gloat over how dumb the Star Wars EU was. And The Last Jedi was great. Come at us: 917 408 3898 US:

Episode - The Darkness and the Light

[therulesofacquisitionpodcast]

Bryan Fuller makes his Star Trek debut. With a riff on the Agatha Christie novel And Then There Were None, previously titled Ten Little Indians, previously titled something even more Problematic Kira's friends are being murdered, but by who? “The Prophets will take care of him”… Will they? Worf is brings the light fun to the episode for once. He knows many things. Where’s Shakaar while folks from the Shakaar resistance are being killed? Sisko ain’t got patience for Worf. Just how much technical know how does it take to press shirts for Cardassia? Silence of the Lamb-ing was very fashionable at the time. Are these the best of the doldrums of any season of DS9 to date?
