Trekmate: Upper Pylon 2

Alright, this is a very silly one this week. We’ve all seen this type of story before, but does do they make it their own? We also coin another term for the UP2 vocabulary this week. Enjoy and leave us some feedback!

This week we celebrate the episode Far Beyond the Stars. It is a study in race and science fiction history.   It is safe to say we have a big episode. In many respects, this is a timeless one.  Is it controversial? Is our review controversial? Let us know if feedback!

MORN IS DEAD! Let’s all have a laugh about it. Agree with our review? Disagree with us? Let us know via feedback.

Sisko and Dukat have a little dance this week. FYI the Matts get into it a bit this episode. As always, let us know your thoughts via feedback.

What happens when Quark’s mother Ishka is captured by the Dominion? Well, we get a tribute to samurai movies… or is it a tribute to westerns? Or maybe heist movies?   Who knows… anyway, it is good. Surely you will agree via feedback.

This week on UP2, we see the return of one of our “favorite” supporting characters, albeit with a twist in “Resurrection.” Bariel Antos, Kira’s late lover, suddenly appears on the station. However, he reveals that he isn’t the Bariel that Kira knew, he’s actually the Bariel from the Mirror Universe. Will the sudden appearance of Bariel’s mirror doppelganger rekindle old feelings for Kira, or are Mirror Bariel’s intentions more nefarious? Tune in to find out, and be sure to leave us your feedback!

This week on UP2, the bad boys of the UP2 crew (aka Chris and Smonskey) take a look at the wedding of the 24th Century with “You Are Cordially Invited.” Dax convinces Worf to get married before Alexander leaves the station, but little do they know that their limits will be tested as Worf transforms himself from a Klingon warrior into a certifiable Bridezilla. What did you think of Worf’s turn as a Klingon Kardashian bride-to-be? Be sure to let us know with your feedback!

Now that the crazy holiday season is behind us, let’s kick back and enjoy what is likely the biggest episode of DS9 to date. It is an important one.   Our heroes attempt to take back Deep Space Nine!   Let us know what you think (how awesome it was) in feedback.

Reports of our assimilation have been greatly exaggerated! The UP2 crew reunites to tackle the beginning of the end of the Season 6 opening arc with “Favor the Bold.” With the dismantling of the minefield just days away, Captain Sisko leads a Federation battle fleet to retake DS9. Meanwhile, Kira and her resistance cell desperately try to buy the fleet more time while simultaneously dealing with the personal minefield left by Odo’s betrayal. What did you think of this episode? Be sure to let us know with your feedback! P.S. Due to scheduling difficulties, we were unable to attach a feedback section with this show, but fear not, the feedback WILL return with “Sacrifice of Angels.”

Matt, Chris, and Matt tackle the latest Star Trek, with consternation….NAH They loved it, but tune in to see why.

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!

Oh dear… Which one of you was asking to see how Worf has evolved as a father? I mean we’ve seen his boyfriending skills, do we think he got better as a father since the last abandonment? Well… let’s get into it… Did we get this right? Does it hit the icky threshold? Let us know what you think in feedback.

Sisko’s crew crash land their Jem’Hadar ship into the waters of an alien ocean on a world where a group of Jem’Hadar have also crash landed with only one vial of ketracel-white remaining. Meanwhile, on Terok Nor, Kira finds she cannot live with herself working side by side with the Dominion. Thanks Memory Alpha! Won’t you please join us for a review?

Why don’t we all jump into the good stuff with Season 6 of Deep Space Nine! The war is raging, and it doesn’t look good for our heroes. What do the hosts think of this unprecedented Star Trek multiepisode arc? More importantly, what do you think? Don’t forget to leave us feedback!

The UP2 cast sends off the 5th 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 finally, Happy Thanksgiving to all our American listeners.

It is the episode we’ve all been waiting for. The war story finally starts… and it is amazing. Even more amazing? All the hosts come together to discuss this one. Let us know if you think it held up as well as we think it did.

This week on the show Matt and Chris take a short breather before we take the plunge into the war story. This one is all about family. Let us know what you think in some feedback!

This week on UP2, terror reigns as Matt whispers his way through this slasher epic on a DS9 sister station!

This week on UP2, Chris and Blair take a look at the concluding episode of the Eddington/Maquis storyline, “Blaze of Glory.” When he gets word of cloaked missles heading for Cardassian space, Sisko enlists the help of convict Michael Eddington in tracking them down and putting a stop to them. But tensions are high, leaving the distinct possibility that one of the two men will not walk away alive. What did you think of how this episode wrapped up these ongoing storylines? Be sure to let us know with your feedback!

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!
