Series 7, Episode 4 - "I mean, aren't most angry women completely justified!?"

Bajorans, Cardassians & one very complicated Ensign… Set phasers to opinionated as the latest Hit or Miss: Star Trek episode beams into your ears! Taking the conn once again is your ever-faithful host Captain Mike, joined this week by returning bridge crew members Jordan and Rune. We kick things off by running Rune through a late-but-thorough Starfleet interrogation — favourite characters, first contact with Trek, and everything in between. Then it’s warp speed into this week’s Hit or Miss segment, where we take aim at a mix of Deep Space Nine and Discovery episodes… plus a couple of starships that may or may not deserve to be scrapped for parts. Finally, we chart a course for the episode’s true destination: a deep dive into Star Trek: The Next Generation’s “Ensign Ro.” From Michelle Forbes’ scene-stealing debut to the raw introduction of the “Bajora” and their uncomfortably familiar plight, we explore the power of Trek to tackle real-world complexity through the prism of sci-fi. Expect talk of grey morality, Guinan wisdom, and some less-than-stellar behaviour from the Enterprise-D crew. Big themes, bold takes, and a fan-favourite episode that still hits hard — so clip in your Bajoran earring, pull up a Ten-Forward bar stool and join us.
