Rico · January 20, 2013, 06:57:45 AM

A special show for everyone this week. Chris and I got together and talked about DS9 for a couple hours to celebrate it's 20th Anniversary. We talk favorite episodes, characters, story arcs, and other details about this awesome Trek series. I hope everyone enjoys this different and more conversational show about DS9.

Looking foward to this. I'm a huge DS9 fan.

Nice review guys, lots of audio clips too - yay!

DS9's strong start about conflict was unexpected and is what grabbed my interest from the beginning.

Glad you both mentioned 'Far Beyond the Stars', from season six as a favorite.
A story by Marc Scott Zicree who also wrote the creepy Riker/TNG episode 'First Contact', and the Star Trek: Phase 2 episode 'World Enough and Time'.

Zicree also did a first season episode for B5 called 'Survivors', a powerful story that explored ethics in medicine.

Also happy you guys brought up the DS9 and B5 flame wars between the rabid fans. Even though both shows are unique, they did share plenty of positive things including Jeffery Combs who once played a Psi-Cop.

btw...like Gollum and the ring, Warner Brothers owns B5 and jealously guards it. They're quite mad really.

Glad you enjoyed it Dave. I had SO many clips pulled but couldn't use even half of them, our conversation was just too much fun. I just had to put that bit of Quak doing Picard's line from First Contact, I remember laughing out loud the first time I saw that. Like you, I'm about as big a B5 fan as I am a DS9 fan, and I really never got into that fight.

Glad I got to do this with Rico, he's da MAN!

Great podcast Chris and Rico! I didn't watch DS9 during its first run. I was busy watching B5. I didn't discover DS9 until it was off the air. Looking back, I should have gotten over being a TOS purist. DS9 is some of the best Star Trek out there. I can honestly say that I like DS9 and B5. It's the best of both worlds. Thanks for doing such a great show!

Deep Space Nine Fan Trailer

This was the fan-trailer I sampled at the beginning of the podcast, it's been one of my favorites for a couple years.

I have only got through about 20 min. during lunch. I got mad because I had to go back to work!

Just finished it. GREAT stuff. I could have listened for a couple more hours , that's how good it was. THANK FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK! NICE!

We should try for doing a joint review/discussion on the next TOS episode I cover.
