Upper Pylon 2 – 6 x 04: Behind the Lines

This week on UPS, Smonskey and Chris break down the re-emergence of the Female Changeling into the war arc in “Behind the Lines.”

Kira’s resistance plans take a turn for the worst when the Female Changeling arrives on the station, hindering Odo’s judgment in the process. With the minefield set to be dismantled within a week, will the resistance be able to stop the Dominion before the reinforcements pour in from the Gamma Quadrant? Meanwhile, Sisko is forced to adapt to flying a desk after he is relieved of command from the Defiant and promoted to work with Admiral Ross. Can he let go while Dax captains the ship on a dangerous mission?

Tune in to find out, and as always, be sure to leave us your feedback!

Upper Pylon 2 – 5 x 22: Children of Time

This week on UP2, the crew takes a look at what turned out to be an extremely divisive episode with “Children of Time.”

The Defiant crew is forced to land the ship on a mysterious planet surrounded by an energy barrier. On the surface, they come face to face with their descendants, generations left behind long after the Defiant crashed on the planet. While Sisko and the crew work on a way to return to DS9 in their own time, their descendants further their ulterior motives, leaving Kira’s life hanging in the balance.

What made us so divided on this episode? Tune in to find out, and be sure to leave your feedback!

Upper Pylon 2 – 5 x 16: Doctor Bashir, I Presume?

This week on UP2, the Matts take over the podcast to talk about the episode where we finally lay to rest the untold background of the good doctor, with a little Voyager cross-over thrown in for good measure with “Doctor Bashir, I Presume?”

Dr. Lewis Zimmerman, the creator of the Emergency Medical Hologram, comes to the station to make Bashir the model for a new Longterm Medical Holographic Program. Unfortunately, a secret from Bashir’s past may harm him, both with the LMH program, and with his future career in Starfleet. Meanwhile, Rom struggles about revealing his feelings about Leeta.
