Listen to the Prophets #12: Battle Lines

There’s lessons to be learned on today’s episode of LISTEN TO THE PROPHETS: A STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE PODCAST. In the episode, BATTLE LINES, first and foremost, if you are taking the spiritual leader of the planet you are trying to garner favor with through a spatial anomaly 70,000 light years away into an unexplored quadrant of the galaxy, be sure not to let her get killed on an alien planet. Oh sure, something about the planet allows all the people living on it to die and be reborn over annd over again, so Kai Opaka really isn’t technically dead, but she’s never making it back to Bajor, and Commander Benjamin Sisko is to blame for the loss. Not the best moment in fostering understanding. Secondly, don’t let Kira emote…she’s just a little over the top this early into the series. But one thing you should do is let Paul Spataro, Andrew Leyland, and Shawn Engel tell you all about this episode, and how it relates to “Breaking Bad”, the series we’ll be covering after “Firefly” and “Justified”. So grab you favorite podcast listening device, download the show, and take some time to…LISTEN TO THE PROPHETS.
