Reopening the Wormhole: A Star Trek Deep Space Nine Podcast

Valentine's Day is over, so let's get back to talking about MURDER. The gang gets together to talk, yet again, about the forgotten Dax host, Joran. We also touch briefly upon the newly released trailer for Star Trek Beyond and the J. J. Abrams Star Trek movies in general, John Hodgman and Trill pools and the similarities between Buffy Summers and Ben Sisko. Also, we have the longest, most debate-f...

It’s that special time of year when we all take the time to reflect upon the people we love the most; the special someones in all of our lives who make our days seem brighter, who kindle the fires of passion in our hearts, who inspire us to be the best possible version of ourselves and who we desperately want to aggressively and awkwardly make out with in sick bay. The sick bay of our hearts. That...

This week, the gang braves a Field of Fire in order to peer into the darkest corners of Ezri’s mind. Along the way, we start a new Japanese-themed feature, we congratulate ourselves on the launch of this very podcast, Jack briefly becomes a Horta, we talk about a rarely used film technique, we uncover a game-changing life hack and we discuss the increasingly bleak future of our episode ending sign...

It’s one of our wildest weeks ever, as we dive into our first episode from the big serialized Final Ten of the series and at least one third of the RTW gang is literally unable to contain his excitement and/or coherence! It’s an exciting episode and our conversation is all over the place. Aside from such Deep Space 9-related topics as Pah’Wraiths, the Breen, the Chin’toka System, Kai Winn and, of...

It's a special JAPAN EDITION of Reopening the Wormhole this week and oh BOY does the gang run into technical difficulties during recording! Fortunately, our spirits remain high, as we've got a real fun one to talk about in Shadows and Symbols, our first season 7 episode. Join us as we welcome Ezri Dax to the show, go in-depth about three generations of Siskos, analyze space blockades, talk about B...

This week we're talking about the Mirror Universe classic, Crossover, and it's a special GIANT-SIZE episode, as we're also welcoming our very first guest to the podcast, Alexis Murauskas. This one is split into two parts, with Kevin and Sam chatting with Alexis for the first half and then joining back with Jack in the latter half for further discussion and the standard RTW features you've come to...

This week, in the second of two Portland Editions of Reopening the Wormhole, the gang tackles In Purgatory's Shadow, and we just can't even handle how crazy good this one is. Listen to us lose our shit over Garak, Martok, Dukat, Ziyal and more! We'll also talk at length about Tayne (who we can ALL get into), we'll go over the ridiculous amounts of potential names that Jack came up with for this ve...

O'Brien's suffering continues yet again and Kevin and Sam are together for the first time in the same location to talk it all out with Jack in this special PORTLAND EDITION of Reopening the Wormhole! We talk about the Chief's horrific existential suffering as well as such hot topics as Star Trek poop, Reeta-Hawks and Clancy Brown. Plus, the gang gets POLITICAL. O'Brien's hard times are our good ti...

There's a special gift for our listeners under the tree, and it's a brand-new episode of Reopening the Wormhole! This one is about our first season one episiode, Duet. And friends, nothing embodies the holiday spirit like discussions of subterfuge, Japanese politics and brutal Cardassian war crimes! And, of course, Yamok sauce. Also, we have a special celebrity guest joining us at Quark's to roll...

This week, the gang tears into the emotional tour de force that is Meridian. Along the way, they'll talk about Horta beach towels, the recurring problems with various Star Trek romances, the dumbing down of Jadzia, the magnificence of Jeffrey Combs, one of William Shatner's directorial masterpieces and much, MUCH more. Join them on their first ever LIVE* episode! Oh, and Quark fetishists? This is...

One of the biggest risks that any first time podcasters can face is the potential for technical diffulties. Fortunately, that would NEVER happen to Reopening the Wormhole. However, Sam IS transmitting while traveling through an ion storm during today's episode, and as such is occasionally a little garbled. That doesn't stop the gang from having another rousing chat about O'Brien's pain as they dis...

For their second episode, Jack, Kevin and Sam dive into third season time travel yarn, Visionary, and watch Chief O'Brien suffer repeatedly. Join them as they dash Brannon Braga's hopes, briefly touch upon Pac-Man and talk Nightmare on Elm Street and Robert Englund. Oh, there's also a lot of Deep Space Nine discussion, as always. Stick around until the end to hear the boys debut another semi-regul...

Join Jack, Kevin and Sam on their maiden voyage through the wormhole as they introduce themselves and the podcast, gush about their deep love of Deep Space Nine (and all things Star Trek), dig into the minutiae of third-part episode, The Siege, talk crap about Voyager and somehow end up going on and on about Chris Cooper and Gary Sinise! All that, plus we'll be debuting our weekly features in the...
