Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) reluctantly visit “Meridian” to talk about Dax’s new boo. We analyze the AI deepfake, consent violations that Quark is guilty of and compare it to other consent violation holoprogram episodes on TNG, we talk about how capitalism creates a market for modern AI deepfakes and consent violations and we shoutout unions. Matthew defends Dax’s desire to be with this man she just met and Jo questions Sisko’s sanity for going back into the Gamma quadrant when he was explicitly told by The Dominion not to. 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 for silly memes and polls and contact us by e-mail at teroknoirpod@gmail.com
