erickelly — Wed, 20 May 2026 20:35:34 +0000

Odo is Garak`s prisoner aboard a Warbird in the Tal Shiar/Obsidian Order fleet headed to destroy The Founders home world in the Gamma Quadrant.

VIEW VIDEO POST

There are some pretty awesome and complex character scenes, especially between Garak and Odo. Michael Eddington becomes more of a thing, we get to see Leland Orser again, and there are some pretty cool space battles. I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to

Deep Space Nine IMPROBABLE CAUSE 3x20

erickelly — Tue, 05 May 2026 18:31:43 +0000

An assassin`s bomb goes off in Garak`s shop and while he survives, perhaps Enabran Tain is the next target. We find out that the Cardassian Obsidian Order and the Romulan Tal Shiar are in cahoots.

VIEW VIDEO POST

This is the first of a two-parter, and the first to not simply be titled \"Part One\" and \"Part Two\". The Romulans and Cardassians have been building a joint-fleet to go after the Dominion in the Gamma Quadrant. Who is trying to kill Garak? Directed by Avery Brooks. I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to

Deep Space Nine THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS 3x19

erickelly — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 20:24:11 +0000

Quark is in trouble for staging some vole fights with Morn when uh oh, Sisko gets kidnapped and taken to the Mirror Universe by Smiley O`Brien.

VIEW VIDEO POST

Mirror Sisko has been killed and Smiley needs our Sisko to finish his mission. This involves Mirror Jennifer (who`s counterpart was killed at Wolf 359)... so our Sisko has a lot of work to do. I love Mirror (or Parallel) Universe episodes and we get Intendant Kira back, as well as alternate versions of Jadzia, Bashir etc. I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to

Deep Space Nine DISTANT VOICES 3x18

erickelly — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 19:58:05 +0000

Dr. Bashir is going to be turning 30 years old in a few days when he is attacked by a Lethean. Deep Space Nine is nearly empty... where did everyone go?

VIEW VIDEO POST

No B Story here, it`s all about the doc and his struggle to survive. We get some really great Old Age makeup from Michael Westmore (who won an Emmy for it) plus some equally awesome prosthetics for Altovar. Many of the main cast don`t really appear here, as will happen in the next episode which takes place in the Mirror Universe. I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to

Deep Space Nine VISIONARY 3x17

erickelly — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 18:00:16 +0000

This is an excellent time travel episode. Chief O`Brien keeps getting flashed-forward to the future... 5 hours ahead... at which point DS9 is destroyed!

VIEW VIDEO POST

I love O`Brien episodes, and the Romulans we see will be on `Trek many more times. No lame B-story here. Can the Chief figure out what is going on before the entire station blows up? This is good stuff as far as I am concerned. I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to

Deep Space Nine PROPHET MOTIVE 3x16

erickelly — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 18:00:09 +0000

We have to rather light stories going on. The Grand Nagus is back, and he`s become a philanthropist! Dr. Bashir has been nominated for the prestigious Carrington Award. Will he win?

VIEW VIDEO POST

It`s always great to see Wallace Shawn, and the Nagus is on a mission. Greed is no longer eternal, greed is dead. He even re-wrote the Rules of Acquisition! What has happened to our dear Nagus? The Dr. Bashir thing is kind of a wash, but we get to see he and O`Brien`s dart board for the first time. Directed by Rene Auberjonois, so Odo won`t be on screen a lot. I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to

Deep Space Nine DESTINY 3x15

erickelly — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 18:00:27 +0000

Cardassian scientists have teamed up with Bajor and the Federation to set up a communications relay through the wormhole. Vedek Yarka shows up to tell the Emissary that a prophecy calls for doom if Sisko allows this to happen.

VIEW VIDEO POST

At this point, Sisko is very NOT about being the Emissary, and Kira realizes how much she really does believe he is a Bajoran religious icon. We get to see a different side of Cardassian society, a Cardassian lady played by Tracy Scoggins, and the second of three times we get Erick Avari. Yeah, this script was re-written many times, but I think it was fun. There is a great scene between Gilora Rejal and Miles O`Brien in the Jeffries tubes. I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to

Deep Space Nine HEART OF STONE 3x14

erickelly — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 18:00:59 +0000

Kira and Odo are tracking a Maquis terrorist on an alien moon when the Major becomes trapped in a crystalline structure - and it`s growing.

VIEW VIDEO POST

Bareil has only been dead since the last episode and it`s right to the Kira-Odo romantic interest. Well, sort of. If Odo can`t find a way to free her, she`s done for. Again, sort of. Jake and Nog are in the B-story again, but this time the young Ferengi decides he wants to join Starfleet. Sisko isn`t convinced Nog is Academy material. I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to

Deep Space Nine LIFE SUPPORT 3x13

erickelly — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 18:00:37 +0000

Kai Winn and Vedek Bareil have been working on an official peace treaty with the Cardassians when a shuttle accident leaves Bareil seriously injured.

VIEW VIDEO POST

All the Bajorans (including Bareil) think that the Doc should keep the Vedek alive long enough to complete the peace talks - at any cost. Bashir knows that things can only be taken so far. Jake and Lisa from Saved by the Bell have a double-date with Nog and Riska, and the many cultural differences soon become apparent. I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to

Deep Space Nine PAST TENSE, Part II 3x12

erickelly — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 18:00:26 +0000

The Bell Riots of 2024 are about to go down and the savior Gabriel Bell has been killed. Sikso and Bashir have to figure out how to restore the timeline and still make it back to the 24th century.

VIEW VIDEO POST

Kira and O`Brien (and Odo) still have no idea where Sisko, Dax, and Bashir got to - and time is running out (so are the chronitons). The Governor of San Francisco has ordered the National Guard to end the standoff with the hostages. Can the timeline be restored even though Gabriel Bell is dead? I summarize the plot and point out and explain all the references so you don’t have to
