169 - Our Man Bashir (4x10) (with Eric Ambler and Sean Davis)

Reopening the Wormhole: A Star Trek Deep Space Nine Podcast

Here at Reopening the Wormhole, we prefer our podcasts shaken, not stirred. But we sure enjoy going STIR CRAZY as we discuss Julian’s big foray into being a super spy in the Holosuite to protect the lives of his pals who are trapped in the pattern buffer. The episode is chock-full of fun, with bad-Russian-accent Kira, eyepatch O’Brien, a surprise Eddington, and, best of all, Avery Brooks as absolutely one of the best James Bond villains ever. Eric Ambler (of What Were We Watching) and Sean Davis (of After the Credits) join us for this super-sized discussion and bring their unique perspectives as a DS9 non-fan and a Bashir superfan, respectively, to this episode, and the conversation veers off into all sorts of crazy directions! Stick around for the whole 3+ hours to hear Sean & Sam talk about their experience at the DS9 panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, LOTS of Bond talk, some other fun surprises, and… an entire conversation about guns?! There’s a world of fun to be had, including a Bashir-based Bond-style intro song. You won’t say “no” to Dr. Noah!

This is our fifth-to-last episode! We’re calling on listeners to send us in your ideas and wishlists for us to cover as we revisit and rehash our wormhole-reopening experience, so start emailing us at [e-mail] and help us keep this wormhole open just a little longer!
