Doctor Bashir and his very close friend Garak have to battle their colleagues in order to save them. Join your male-gaze-averse hosts as they discuss the careful balance between comedy and earnestness in this classic Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, the philosophical conundrums presented by the premise, and Honey Bare’s penchant for “She’s All That”ing.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We begin our weekly coverage of Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 with the premiere episode, “Kobayashi Maru”

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
