Series 7, Episode 3 - "I'm dropping names like crazy today. Somebody get a broom."

This week, we’re heading to the Delta Quadrant and things are about to get Seska’d. In the latest Hit or Miss: Star Trek, we’re diving deep into the murky waters of Cardassian deception and Kazon coiffures as we review Voyager’s “Maneuvers”. Host Michael is joined once more by resident Cardassian correspondent Lady Vean and first-time Trek guest (but Silver Screen regular) John D. Adams—a true Renaissance man with a love of warp cores and war stories. We kick things off with John’s Trek origin tale, favourite episodes, and a few casual encounters with Trek legends. Then it’s into our Hit or Miss picks: a soft-hearted Cardassian (no, really), a stone-cold TOS banger, and twin starships with very familiar faces. Our main review covers it all—from a captain undermined to Seska weaponizing every eyebrow raise. Expect space battles, Starfleet ethics, Godfather vibes, Chakotay rage, and exactly how many seductive ways there are to whisper “yes, Maje.” It’s manipulative, messy, morally grey—just how we like our Cardassian stories.

Apologies for the quality of Vean's audio volume in this episode. Every effort has been made to repair and boost the audio. It does improve slightly as the episode develops.
