Comments

I'd like to buy a Mustang Mach-E (electric car) just so I can put a "MAQUIS" license plate on it

Marcy Beard

Ratings Robbie: 8.2 (bumped up under influence of discussion with Garrett and Armin) Armin: 9.0 (Robbie's comment: "Wow! I think that's your highest score yet.") Armin: "Everything about it was terrific. The acting was brilliant. The writing was stupendous. I love the themes...I love the ideas about family...and about partisanship. [The director] did wonders with the camera" and he loved Sisko's chemistry with his rival here. Armin: "I think this is one of our BEST episodes." Elsewhere he said he liked a lot that the Federstion is here shown as imperfect or potentially flawed. Garrett: 8.0 (also revised his rating upward after influence from podcast discussion). Fans/Patreons: 7.4. Armin's comment on the relatively low score by tha fans: "Maybe they didn't like it that the Federation isn't perfect!" Once again Garrett's rating is closest to the fans/patrons.

Yule Tide

Doesn't the word "Ferengi" come from Arabs in the middle ages (Crusades) as a general term for European Christians? A corruption of "Franks" so I recall.

Yule Tide

Great explanation

Yule Tide

Israel vs Palestinians. Rogue actors in the scene causing problems for larger forces.

Yule Tide

The word "Quark" describes a dairy product (similar to cottage cheese, I guess) in German, not "Ferengi". Ferengi (like farang) means foreigner (or European).

Martin Kaistra

Agreed, although sometimes he switches to George Takei. Garrett does a fantastic George Takei.

Elisabeth Westner

The Federation have always been Boy Scotts in space but never fully living up to their credo of “we’re just explorers” certain factors changed that such as the Borg invasion, Dominion war etc causing the Federation to begin crossing that line from explore to military organization. Section 31 for example. But The Federation will always attempt to maintain their Boy Scott public image to other planets who hope to one day join and those who are too naïve to believe the Federation isn’t fallible. for those that know that they are become the Maquis.

Andre Perry

I don’t think you guys are seeing that this is a metaphor for our world. Look at world history..,what happened when the British left India, what happened when the British left the Middle East. It is not easy. It is messy. It still is messy and there is never a justification for violence ever.

ChrisB

Great impersonation of Avery Brooks in the line reading of the not aired dialogue of Sisko and Starfleet Command, Garret.

Alexander Schäfer

Hey guys, I wonder if the producers flirted with the possibility of Robert Beltran playing the commander who switches to eh Marquis in this episode? It would have added another depth/background to his character in Voyager.

Rhonda Hamersley

The issue of the episode suffers a bit from that you don't know what the treaty was, which was established in the mentioned TNG episode. Basically, the Federation and Cardassia has had a bloody war of attrition and both sides have suffered and want to end the fight. They have with great pains negotiated a treaty that establishes an agreed border between them. There are cardassians and federation colonists on either side of the agreed border and they are to be relocated. The Enterprise arrives to help with the relocation on a planet, but the colonists refuse to budge, saying this is their ancestral lands. These guys are Native americans, and not unlike the Lakota on the Great Plains, they are actually new arrivals, they have been there for just 30-40 years. So they are basically willing tho throw the quadrants back into war because they like this planet and don't want to move. From what we have seen of the galaxy and its abundance of habitable worlds, this is an incredibly selfish thing to do. Things almost come to a fight, but in the end the agreement between the Cardassians and the Federation is amended. The colonists are allowed to stay, but they will then be Cardassian citizens. This makes the Maquis look pretty bad in DS9, they are basically trying to spoil a peace agreement for the whole quadrant because they think they have more to win personally from a war. If you look at it as an analogy to the modern world, it is similar to a number of a**hole movements that we would feel very little sympathy with. If they had not actually reached an agreement, or if the episode had shown the Cardassians not keeping with their part of the treaty, perhaps by bullying the colonists to make them move of their own accord, it would be easier to find sympathy for the Maquis, but as is, they are simply trying to set the galaxy aflame for personal gain.

Elias Nordling

McCoy was 137 in the episode of TNG he was in

Phil Adams

On Sisko and Dax having a relationship…Terry and Avery have amazing chemistry.

ChrisB

Humans kill themselves with air pollution, chemicals in food, water pollution and just plain violence toward each other. What a mess! Thank God for Star Trek and the aspiration it provides. Here’s hoping our species steps into it!!!❤️🙏👍
