Trekmate: Upper Pylon 2

Surprise! We had one last trick up our sleeve. Remember this episode? Remember that it disappeared from our feed? Well, it is back in nearly its original glory. We can now proudly say that we have an absolutely complete library of episodes available. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to keep the convo going in feedback.

The UP2 cast sends off Deep Space Nine in style with our favorite type of episode, THE UPEE AWARDS! This time the winners from each season are pitted against each other to determine once and for all the Best Guest, The Best Action Sequence, The Best Moment of DS9, and all the worst parts too. Plus, so many more. Finally, we say our goodbyes after we completed our mission.   Thank you, everyone!

The UP2 cast sends off the 7th season of DS9 in style with our favorite episode of each season… THE UPEE AWARDS! Let us know where the awards went wrong and what episodes should have been higher or lower in the season rankings. And stay tuned for the UP2 DS9 episode with the Final UPee Award Spectacular in a couple weeks.

What we leave behind us is a wake of sadness at the ending of such a fun and rewarding experience.

Oh my! The second to last episode. We are really tying up some lose ends now. This week we put a bow on the Ferengi story and some of the beloved secondary and tertiary characters. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to keep the convo going in feedback.

We officially say goodbye to Sloane and Section 31 *tears*. The UP2 cast thought there was one big misstep in this episode. Do you agree? Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to keep the convo going in feedback.

Gowron is up to no good this week, and Kira and her crew go on a desperate mission that could turn the tides of the war. Oh, and we cover a lot of feedback! Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to keep the convo going in feedback.

Sisko convinces Kira to aid the Cardassians and Bashir makes a critical discovery. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to keep the convo going in feedback.

How do you top a holy crap moment to start the show? You add TWO more holy crap moments at the end. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to keep the convo going in feedback.

The Dominion and the Breen negociate their alliance, and Ezri and Worf continue to do their thing even while being sentenced to death. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to keep the convo going in feedback.

In this episode 2 of your favorite crew members discuss and debate the merits of DS9 episode Penumbra. Also, schlocky 90’s intros. And of course Worf hate.

Dr. Bashir becomes very much involved in a Section 31 plot against their “Allies”… the Romulans. That’s right, it is time once again for another thought-provoking and challenging Section 31 episode. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to keep the convo going in feedback.

When holographic mobsters assume control of Vic Fontaine’s lounge, Bashir, O’Brien, and others plot to run Vic’s rival out of business and restore the program to normal. Come on, you have to agree this is a fun one, right? RIGHT? Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to keep the convo going in feedback.

Odo meets another of the hundred Changelings who were sent out to explore the galaxy. This was certainly an interesting episode to discuss. I might have been one of my favorite conversations in a while. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to keep the convo going in feedback.

A murderous sniper is loose on the station. Who can stop the crime? That is right folks, another Ezri episode! I think it is fair to say this one is a bit more favorable than the last. That is our opinion at least. Also, could this be subtly one of the more anti-Roddenberry DS9 episodes? Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to let us know your thoughts in feedback.

We say goodbye to the Mirror Universe (as far as DS9 is concerned at least). Perhaps it slightly overstayed it’s welcome. Do you agree? Also, what the hell was the deal with Vic? Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to let us know your thoughts in feedback.

Ezri goes home this week and we get one hell of a mixed bag of an episode. There is some good here. There is (definitely) some bad here. Agree? Oh, and I forgot… the title doesn’t make any sense. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to let us know your thoughts in feedback.

In the aftermath of an injury that left him disabled on AR-558, Nog returns to Deep Space 9, but finds he cannot go on living his uncertain life and seeks shelter within the fictional world of Vic Fontaine and Las Vegas, 1962. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to let us know your thoughts in feedback.

This week on UP2, Hansen, Chis, and Blair take on the (sneaky good?) Kira and Dukat religious showdown episode, “Covenant.” Kira is kidnapped away to Empok Nor by Dukat, who has become the leader of a Bajoran Pah-Wraith cult. But is this one of Dukat’s schemes to gain admiration, or is his faith of the Pah-Wraiths genuine? Tune in to find out, and as always, be sure to leave us your feedback!

During a supply run to AR-558, Sisko finds the defending Starfleet unit with over two-thirds of the troops dead and the remaining soldiers’ morale extremely low. When the Defiant comes under attack, Sisko, Bashir, Dax, Nog, and Quark choose to remain on the planet, which is about to come under attack by a much larger contingent of Jem’Hadar soldiers. Tune in, enjoy, and be sure to let us know your thoughts in feedback.
