Our podcast's descent of quality continues, eerily mirroring TNG's own descent of quality in its seventh and final season. Are Star Trek podcasts only as good as the Star Trek episodes they're covering? Are we Star Trek fans merely the sum total of our Star Trek discussions? Is Data's evil twin brother Lore still kind of mid? Learn the answer to these Trek-istential questions and more as we watch this Season Seven premiering episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Episode discussion starts at 18:40. This is episode 10/19 in our look at Deep Space Nine & The End of TNG. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Aaron Cole, with Jennie Beal, and Marc Nielson .

Mission of Honor brings us back to the main series/sequence, as we look at the twelfth novel in that line of the Honorverse story.  The events in this ~600-page gem occur between late 1921 through the middle of 1922 PD.  Having developed the breadth and depth of some significant events in the overall storyline, David moves away from the technique he’s used across several previous books to layer and unfold important - and different - perspectives of key events.Events continue to spiral in a manner quickly approaching out of control and absolutely not to the benefit of the Star Empire of Manticore.  The Solarian League has essentially declared war on Manticore through a direct attack on RMN assets.  Then they spun the events to convince themselves that they were the victims rather than the perpetrators.  Now they confront Admiral Henke’s fleet and demand Henke surrender herself into their custody.However, all hope isn’t lost.  Henke’s 10th Fleet soundly defeats the challenging Solarian force.  Meanwhile Honor is on a diplomatic mission — a Mission of Honor — to establish terms of peace with Haven.  During this series of diplomatic meetings, Operation Oyster Bay executes, with the attacker’s identity remaining unknown.  The attack causes the near total loss of orbital industrial facilities in the Manticoran home system.  As a result, debris falls onto the planets below causing extensive damage and loss of life.Back on Haven, Honor is meeting directly with President Pritchart and key cabinet members.  While talks begin in a cool but correct manner, Honor and Pritchart’s relationship warms and respect grows between them as time passes.  Between the two of them, they put several new pieces of the puzzle together which builds Manticore and Haven’s understanding of the Mesan Alignment’s secretive actions and intentions.  Unfortunately, diplomatic talks are suspended due to Oyster Bay and Honor is recalled to Manticore.  Even so, the diplomatic negotiations aren’t over, as we see by the end of the book.This entire novel was non-stop excitement!We rated “Mission of Honor” with a 5, a 5 and another 5 (out of 5), for an overall rating of another perfect 5 from your hosts.We always say it (because it’s true!) we truly appreciate the support of everyone who takes the time to wander through the Honorverse with us.  Special thanks for those of you who like and/or comment on our posts, and even reach out and send us a note.Next up:  a surprise prize!  While we told you in the episode we’re discussing the anthology In Fire Forged next, circumstances let us sit down once again with David Weber for a second interview.  Get ready to learn a lot more about this amazing world we’re moving through, featuring quite a few questions provided by you, our friends and listeners taking this journey with us.Don’t worry though, we’ll pick up and discuss the fifth anthology in the Worlds of Honor set entitled In Fire Forged after the interview.  If you enjoyed Mission of Honor, catch your breath and get ready for a lot more action!

Devour a Georgian dinner with Dan Parent as we discuss why we both loved the legendary Ramona Fradon, how a Charlton Comics pamphlet gave him the tools to take his art more seriously, what he learned working at the start of his career with the great Dan DeCarlo, the character fans demand he draw the most during his convention appearances, the Archie artist who tormented him during his early days, how to respect legacy characters while still keeping them fresh, whose blood got added to the ink of which comics, how hopeful artists can do now what he did then, and much more.

Psyops are used by the military against foreign enemies, but now these dangerous weapons of demoralization and chaos are being used in culture wars between Americans. In this episode, Annalee tells us about their new book Stories Are Weapons, a history of psychological warfare in the U.S. (yes, it includes scifi!) -- and an exploration of the ways people resist psyops and protect their communities from propaganda. Plus we answer questions from you, our beloved listeners!

After the death of Darius III and Bessus, Alexander is without a doubt king of the former Persian Empire. He’s left staring at huge chunks of former Persian provinces now declared independence standing between him and mysterious India, birthplace of his distant half brother Dionysus and rumoured tomb of Hercules laying somewhere in foreboding mountains. As Alexander begins the conquest of what is now modern-day Uzbekistan and Afghanistan but then Bactria and Sogdiana tensions that have been simmering since the start of the invasion begin to boil over to murderous levels of betrayal. Callisthenes, Cleitus the Black, Parmenion and Philotas all become victim to the cultural tensions tearing at the seems of Alexander’s unified forces. His Macedonian and Greek generals and court fear Alexander is rejecting what makes him Greek and a superior being, he’s making demands on them that he be worshipped like a god by them and his subjects. The king and general who so thoroughly embodied all that was greatest in Greek men is becoming Persian before their very eyes, and the results of bloody and create unreconcilable divisions. In India the very gods themselves attempt to thwart Alexander’s progress by sending lightning bolts, floods, sickness, and monsoon rains to kill, weaken, and suck away the morale of Alexander’s already morale reduced forces and Alexander is forced to turn around and return to Babylon having only made it to the Hyphasis river in order to avoid a revolt by his army. As Alexander returns to Babylon, not realizing death is only weeks away he allows those Greeks who want to retire or return to Greece to do so. Draining his treasury to pay off the debts of his forces, purchase more mercenaries, and buy loyalty he begins training and raising a brand new army as he plans to invade Arabia, only to be thwarted by his mysterious and sudden death. Most people know about Dionysius the god of wine, and perhaps many will know of Dionysius the god of suffering and rebirth, but most do not know of Dionysius the human demi-god. We wrap out our episode exploring Dionysius the man who was Alexander’s distant half brother and what he had to do to achieve apotheosis to godhood and whether or not that may have had an influence on Alexander’s entire campaign. Lastly, we wrap up our 5-part epic on Alexander the Great by exploring whether or not Alexander ever “wept when there were no more worlds to conquer.” Did Alexander Weep when there were no more worlds left to conquer?
