Listen "127: True IDIC and Finding Common Ground"
Episode Synopsis
Why DS9 endures. Almost three decades after it first aired, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine continues to be loved by its fans and welcomes first-time viewers every day. What is it about this series that was once cast into the shadows while its sister series basked in the limelight that connects so well with today’s audience? In this episode of The Orb, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing get together for a casual discussion about the reasons they love DS9 and why they never tire of rewatching the series. Among the topics we touch on are how the setting challenges the residents of the station to embrace diversity and find common ground in a way that no other Star Trek series does, and why it all works because of the show’s focus on character over plot.
