Listen ""Emissary" Part Deux [S1E2]"
Episode Synopsis
Meagan & Liz BOLDLY tackle the second half of the pilot and ask ourselves: Has any show portrayed trauma as beautifully and accurately as DS9?
Between cracking hole jokes,* we manage to have a heartfelt discussion about how the hell this 90's show managed to so effectively capture what it’s like to live with unresolved trauma.
We also examine the singular purgatory of having to explain the concept of linear time to hostile Socratic aliens as they simultaneously threaten your life and force you to relive the worst day of said life. (Damn, Prophets.)
And for all you burgeoning #girlbosses out there, come study at the feet of GOAT Kira Neyrs as she bluffs a Cardassian warship with only her moxy and some snazzy sensor work (h/t Miles O’Brien).
*one might say too many! We respectfully disagree.
