I’ve heard about this show but not listened to it. I will download a few eps and see how it is. I see they are on DS9 now; Terry Farell and Armin Shimmerman are co hosts.

such that new viewers can drop in without feeling like they’ve missed anything.

I mean in 2024 it’s easy to be annoyed about that but at the time of production that wasn’t really the wrong thing to do because it was reality of the medium. OTOH I don’t think it excuses a lot of the dumb decisions.

DS9 has really benefited from streaming. I only came to understand and appreciate it after multiple re watches this way. Was far from a casual viewer originally. But it didn’t make sense. Even if you are willing and able to religiously watch every episode in order, having them separated by a week or months makes it too hard to follow.

It would also be nice to have episodic TV and I don’t know that it’s always bad. IT just hasn’t been the style lately.
