What do you do when you just can’t let go of talking about Deep Space Nine, even though you’ve talked about every episode for hours? You talk about the show as a whole, and you talk about yourself talking about it, that’s what! It’s part 1 of our Big, Bad, Bodacious Retrospective! We’re covering several categories related to both Deep Space Nine and Reopening the Wormhole, reading some listener email with some great suggestions for retrospective topics, and overall, having an absolute blast talking about DS9, podcasting, and all the fun we’ve had over the years. You’re probably asking yourself: how is this just part 1? It’s three hours! Well… you are underestimating our penchant for navel-gazing and talking Trek. We do so much of both of these things in this episode, and we know our listeners wouldn’t have it any other way. Here are the time stamps for all the subjects discussed in part one:
