Matthew (he/him) and Jo (they/them) fulfill their “Blood Oath” by discussing Dax’s premeditated murder vacation. They consider if Dax’s questionable decision to fulfill this blood oath is similar to questionable haircuts people got during COVID, they wonder if Dax and Kira’s conversation about doing a murder passes the Bechdel Test and they talk about how hot Q looked in Picard season 2. Matthew rants about the plausibility of Dax wielding a bat’leth and wrecking all the henchmen and Jo asks Star Trek nerds to quit complaining about stupid nostalgia shit. As always, be prepared that spoilers may be lurking around every corner just like Garak on Empok Nor. Subscribe for weekly recaps of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, follow us online at @TerokNoir on Twitter & Hive for silly memes and polls and contact us by e-mail at teroknoirpod@gmail.com
