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 28: Biker Hipster Ezri
The Mirror Universe.
Typically when Star Trek fans think of the Mirror Universe, they think of The Original Series and the episode "Mirror, Mirror." And while it's true that the Enterprise's mission to the Halkan homeworld gave birth to this sexy and sinister place, it was Deep Space Nine that really gave a home to the land of alter egos. In this episode of The Orb hosts Christopher Jones and Matthew Rushing explore the Mirror Universe and discuss how it was fleshed out by DS9, how our familiar characters differ and remain the same, and why even the Intendant can't resist Mirror Ezri. Plus, we imagine a series called Star Trek: MU and play a round of Mirror Universe trivia.
