  In the Hands of Your Podcasters: IN THE HANDS OF THE PROPHETS (1.19)

  Dec 30, 20241h 42mS1

  <p>Jumja sticks! Sexy Vedeks! The Sydney Opera House as fashion accessory! It’s the explosive season finale of DS9, and Lily and Cole are as fired up as a schoolhouse on fire. Showrunner Michael Piller intended “In the Hands of the Prophets” to serve as a bookend to the pilot, “Emissary,” revisiting Sisko’s relationships with Bajor, the Prophets, and his devoutly religious first officer, Major Kira. In turn, we use this super-sized podcast episode to revisit some of the recurring themes of Deep Space Wine’s inaugural season, including: Lily and Cole’s will-they-won’t-they dynamic; lamenting the sorry state of Mil...

  Episode #18

  The Duality of Man, the Banality of Evil: DUET (1.18)

  Nov 27, 20241h 36mS1

  <p>Intended as a low-budget ‘bottle show’ to save money before the season finale, ‘Duet’ devotes most of its runtime to two characters steeped in conversation with each other. But this dense story of a tug-of-war between justice and vengeance has come to be regarded as one of the finest hours of Star Trek. <br/><br/>Cole and Lily delve into the post-WWII historical context that inspired 'Duet', including the Nuremberg Trials and the establishment of the state of Israel. The scriptwriters drew inspiration from the play ‘The Man in the Glass Booth,’ which in turn was inspired by the kidnapping an...

  Sound and Fury: DRAMATIS PERSONAE (1.17)

  Sep 16, 20241h 28mS1

  <p>Is this unhinged tale of intrigue, betrayal and horology giving more Shakespeare or soap opera? We say both, and all the better for it. And though there's plenty of camp silliness on the surface, naturally Lily and Cole dive deep. Cole sees the 'play within the play' setup as a revealing metaphor for television acting, using it to interpret what each DS9 cast member brings to his or her respective character. Meanwhile, Lily teaches Cole that the sci-fi conceit driving the episode's plot actually isn’t so far-fetched, connecting it to the concept of social contagion and mass psychogenic il...
