We’ve come to the end of Fatheree’s favorite season of Star Trek. Now we can get Dave’s thoughts on seeing season 6 for the first time and specifically the final eight episodes. This includes the massive bombshell episode “In the Pale Moonlight” which pushes the envelopes of both how dark and how great you can get with a Trek story. But that’s not the only controversial episode we discuss. We are taking a look at the tale of gender-bent Quark in “Profit and Lace” as well. Also Red Squad, cavewom...

We continue our series on DEEP SPACE NINE this week and discuss season 6 episodes 10-18. There is some real platinum here. “The Magnificent Ferengi” is possibly the best Ferengi episode ever. Even Ferengi episode haters gotta respect that one. Likewise, “Waltz” shows perhaps the darkest side of series villain Gul Dukat. “Far Beyond the Stars” is DS9’s “City on the Edge of Forever.” And so much more including Morn, Section 31 and toy-sized runabouts!
