170 - The Quickening (4x24) (with Richard Dunham)

Reopening the Wormhole: A Star Trek Deep Space Nine Podcast

With only four episodes left of our podcast, the Bashir-naissance comes to a conclusion with this classic season 4 episode. In this one, we spend some time exploring the good doctor’s morality, his arrogance, his strengths, and his flaws, through the story of a planet on which all inhabitants are born with a fatal illness. It’s a heavy Star Trek episode, and Ghibli Minute’s Richard Dunham joins the team for the first time to hash it out. Along the way, they’ll also discuss their thoughts on the new trend of live action Disney movies, one of the all-time best Quark moments that starts this episode, Michael Stipe, a stellar set of Trek Check episodes, and so much more. Stay tuned to the end to hear a special announcement from Jack, and to discover how the RTW crew escapes their own terrifying encounter with the Blight. And, of course, to hear the FINAL DABO WHEEL SPIN!!!!

With only three episodes left, time is running short! The crew plans on making somewhat big productions out of the final three, so they may be moving to a two-week schedule - at least until the show is over. But the end of DS9 is not the end for us!
