Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) repair the “Broken Link” as we join Odo on his journey to the Founders home world. We chronicle recreational crimes the DS9 crew has carried out while still being in Starfleet, we compare representation as tokenism in Star Trek and Marvel vs representation as experience in books, films and other #OwnVoices media and we observe how this show suggests a genocide on the founders at the same time as the show X-Men 97 portrays a genocide while our Twitter feeds are full of images from Gaza and protests around the country. Matthew wonders why Garak is in this episode and Jo somehow manages in an episode about Odo to speculate about the O’Brien polycule.
As always, be prepared that spoilers may be lurking around every corner just like Garak on Empok Nor.
