Newbie Star Trek

The Wire! A really bad headache leads to Garak finally opening up to Bashir about his past. Except he really doesn't since pretty much every single thing he says is a lie. So it's basically a bunch of lies with a bunch of accidental slips of truth, and by the end even Bashir's a little sick and tired of it. But what do we think?! Tune in to find out!

Bloodlines! So now that Picard's de facto son Wesley has left the show for good, he gets a new fake son, the main guy from Robocop rip-off Super Force. Man, this season really loves family stuff, doesn't it?

The Maquis, Part II! So, we're not gonna sugarcoat it, the actual best part of this episode is Sisko giving his famous "saint in paradise" speech, but other than that, uuuh... let's just say that the main antagonist got so annoying that even Michael Piller was like, "yeah, we should've killed him off."

Firstborn! The one where Worf's parenting got so bad that Alexander had to go back in time to become his own better dad. But then that didn't work so he decided to shoot himself. Boy, that escalated quickly.

The Maquis, Part I! TNG creates the problem, and DS9 has to fix it. That's right, the Cardassian border dispute that Captain Picard thought they had resolved in Journey's End turns into a bigger problems for the actual colonists in DS9. Surely Sikso's old friend that shows up in this episode won't end up being secretly part of the Federation resistance movement named after the French Resistance during Nazi occupation in WWII, right? Right?!
