Regeneration Ratings:  Bob 9, Eric 9. Profit and Lace Ratings:  Bob 3, Eric 7.

Question:

What were your thoughts on this final Ferengi DS9 story?

Did you feel bringing the Borg into Enterprise helped or broke canon?

Episode 154 Cogenitor / Valiant. We continue Enterprise with the infamous third gender episode Cogenitor. This spawns quite a lot of speculative and deep discussions in the best tradition of Trek.  Over on DS9, we both are impressed with the Jake/Nog story aboard a Cadet ship Lord of the Flies style out on their own in the Dominion War.

We also go off on a Firefly/Serenity Tangent for the final ten minutes.  The Breach Ratings:  Bob 7.5, Eric 7. The Reckoning Ratings:  Bob 9, Eric 8.

Question: What is your favorite onscreen wizard duel?

Episode 152 Horizon / His Way. We continue Enterprise with the infamous Mayweather episode and his backstory with the thinnest B plot ever.  On DS9 we get more Vic Fontaine and finally see Odo and Kira get together. Horizon Ratings:  Bob 4, Eric 5. His Way Ratings:  Bob 7, Eric 7.

Question:

Do you feel Star Trek always comes up short on treating it’s Ensign Characters well?

Episode 151 Judgment / In the Pale Moonlight

We cover the much loved and semi controversial turning point in the Dominion War where Sisko gets his hands dirty on DS9.  And on Enterprise we cover Scott Bakula's Favorite episode which does homage (or ripoff?) Star Trek 6. Judgment Ratings:  Bob 6, Eric 7. In the Pale Moonlight Ratings:  Bob 10, Eric 10.

Question: Do you feel Sisko did the right thing with his actions?  Does this episode betray Roddenberry's vision of Star Trek?

Episode 150 The Crossing / Inquisition

We dive in to a classic space body swapping/snatching alien invasion on Star Trek Enterprise and then examine the Bashir story introducing the infamous Section 31 on Deep Space Nine. The Crossing Ratings:  Bob 5.5, Eric 6. Inquisition Ratings:  Bob 8, Eric 8.5.

Question: Do you think Section 31 was a good addition to Star Trek or does it undermine Roddenberry’s vision?
