The Gamma Quadrant endures Rumplestiltskin, fat baseball players and submissive science officers on DS9 this week. We try to answer the question: are humans really as awesome as Star Trek says they are? For the second time, DS9 has inspired us to add a new word to our vocabulary: stupnanigans.

#16 Progress

Sun, 6 Sep 2009 04:01:00 GMT

The Gamma Quadrant endures most notoriously bad episode of DS9! In a rare move, we alll give the the episode the same rating! The episode includes the worst of everything: bad hair, bad acting, horrible sets. An episode so bad it will add a new word to your vocabulary: allamaraine!

#9 The Passenger

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 04:01:00 GMT

This "mystery" episode tests The Gamma Quadrant's tolerance for cheesy acting and editing. We also talk about the director, Paul Lynch. There are some disagreements among the group about whether or not cheese belongs in Star Trek.

#8 Dax

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 04:01:00 GMT

In this show we discuss Q (the pugilist, skirt chaser) and Picard's old flame Vash. This marks Q's only appearance in Deep Space Nine. Also the only appearance of the Bajorian assayist, who should have more appearances.

#5 Babel

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 11:15:00 GMT

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 03:47:00 GMT

This week the Gamma Quadrant discusses the Odo-centered episode, A Man Alone. The group talks about shifty-eyed, bacon-shaped villains, and as always, Kira's hair.There are mixed feelings about Keiko O'Brien's new job as school mistress. One thing everyone can agree on: Odo is awesome.
