Ray’s Take on Episode 2.3: “The Siege” Sisko can deliver quite the motivational monologue. Quark can find the profit in any situation. The friendship between Jake and Nog has evolved into something quite heartwarming. As an aside, if you are a Star Trek fan and like steampunk, check out Steam-Trek, the Voyages of the HMSContinue reading “Heartwarming and harrowing”

The stuff of legends
Rhonda’s Take on Episode 3 “The Siege” After gushing with excitement over the recap before Episode 2, it’s surprising how disappointed I felt with the recap starting this episode. It was the same recap as Episode 2 with a few additions from that episode. I guess I’ve gotten used to episode recaps that are tailoredContinue reading “The stuff of legends”
The Circle is Definitely Broken
Jim’s Take on Episode 2.3: “The Siege” The fact of the matter is, in the Star Trek universe, if you bet against the Federation, you are probably going to lose. If you compound this mistake by betting against Benjamin Sisko, your odds get even worse. So Minister Jaro, Vedek Winn, The Circle, and even theContinue reading “The Circle is Definitely Broken”
Political machinations lead to a strong cliffhanger
Matt’s Take on Episode 2.2: “The Circle” A Politician’s Politician I know that I’ve called out a few characters as being terrible, and Minister Jaro is right up there with them. He’s so slimy and reminds me far too much of an actual politician … a few specific names come to mind. He bats awayContinue reading “Political machinations lead to a strong cliffhanger”

Unfortunately, being more peaceful farmers, artists, architects and mystics does kind of leave a planet vulnerable to more warlike alien invaders, especially without Federation backing. Apparently, Odo expresses affection through anger. BashirContinue reading “Celestial Tinder”
Naked Times and the Prime Directive
Rhonda’s Take on Episode 2.2: “The Circle” (Part 2) I don’t know if this opening recap is the first for Deep Space Nine, but seeing it gave me a little thrill as if it were a new candy in my dish. For those used to binge culture, they might not understand how important an episodeContinue reading “Naked Times and the Prime Directive”
Beware Strange Orbs
Jim’s Take on Episode 2.2: “The Circle” (Part 2) You know that dream where you’re naked, but all your friends are there, and then the handsome religious leader of your people appears behind you, also naked, and starts putting the sexy-times moves on you? No? Only me and Major Kira? The point is, the ProphetsContinue reading “Beware Strange Orbs”
