Get ready for an exciting new season of Because That’s What Heroes Do. This season, they take a deep dive into their favorite episodes of Deep Space 9. In this exploration, Tom and Megan are joined by Star Trek maven Alex Murphy (Murphy) from Montreal. Murphy is a local historian, cinema, and TV fan with a love for weird foreign films, all things horror, and obscure media. He has been watching Trek since he was a tiny punk, and it’s been a lifelong love. In this episode, the team concludes by exploring the introduction to a new character for DS9’s final season and reviewing the episode Til Death Do US Part. They dive into the intricate relationships and transitional plot points of a particularly romantic yet unsettling episode of DS9. We discuss major developments such as Dukat’s infiltration of DS9, Damar’s new leadership role among the Cardassians, and the complex dynamics between Ezri and Worf following their ill-advised hookup. The conversation touches upon profound moments of character introspection, especially with Kai Wen and her interactions with Dukat. Murphy highlights Quark’s emotional depth and the evolving narrative arcs while exploring the impacts of these character developments within the broader DS9 storyline. Join us to uncover the intertwined fates and emotional struggles that drive this pivotal episode forward.
