The Orb is a Trek.fm podcast dedicated entirely to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, hosted since 2013 by C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing. In January 2023, we begin a 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of DS9, one episode at a time, as we shift from our format of exploring the minutiae of the show to celebrating 30 years of the greatest chapter in the Star Trek franchise with an episode-by-episode examination.

The Orb 19: Ridiculous Turned Up to Eleven
Bad Episodes We Love.
Okay, maybe “bad” is too strong a word; but we all have different tastes in Star Trek, even within the series we love most. In this episode of The Orb hosts Christopher Jones and Matthew Rushing examine episodes that were a ratings flop with fans but which we think get a bad rap. From gunji jackdaws to arrogant scientists to micro universes, find out which stories deserve a fresh viewing and why we see something good in DS9’s often forgettable moments.
