Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) watch over boring Bareil on “Life Support” and Jo gladly pulls the plug. We question Bashir’s medicine and discuss how medicine works or doesn’t work depending on if the show cares to keep a given character alive, we rate Jake and Nog’s double date scene as an all time top DS9 scene and we analyze what the episode is saying about cultural differences, melting pots and how ultimately Star Trek believes the Federation’s (America’s) culture is morally superior to all others. Matthew does a dramatic reading of Hunter S. Thompson’s daily drug/diet/writing schedule and Jo gets super sapphic over Kira’s haircut. NOTE: Some technical difficulties with the audio on today’s recording, our apologies.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
