Listen to the Prophets #25: Melora

What happens when you try to turn the Eighth Doctor’s only on screen companion into a crabby love interest for the horniest medical practitioner on Deep Space Nine? Well, you get today’s covered episode on LISTEN TO THE PROPHETS: A STAR TREK DEEP SPACE NINE PODCAST! Today, Shawn Engel, Paul Spataro, and Andrew Leyland take a look at the episode where a brilliant scientist from an ultra low gravity planet comes aboard the station and proceeds to be a complete and utter cow to EVERYONE she encounters because she has some chip on her shoulder about how she thinks she is being treated due to her “disability”. But despite her being a complete “see you next Tuesday”, she manages to have Dr. Bashir fall madly in love with her. And have zero gravity hot monkey love with her as well…at least that’s what we can assume happens. It’s a groundbreaking episode that redefines the show and introduces concepts that will…no, I can’t keep it up. It’s definitely no Jaws. But the crew’s discussion of the episode is stellar as always, so grab your mp3 listening device of choice, download the show, and take some time out to…LISTEN TO THE PROPHETS.
