Get ready for an exciting new season of Because That’s What Heroes Do. In this season, they take a deep dive into their favorite 15 episodes of Deep Space 9.
In this exploration, they are joined by DS9 maven Alex Murphy, who lives in Montreal, Quebec, where he’s been a cook, baker, and general kitchen grunt for twenty-some odd years. Off duty, he is a local historian, cinema, and TV fan with a love for weird foreign films, all things horror, and obscure media. He has been watching Trek since he was a tiny punk, and it’s been a lifelong love.
Don’t miss out on the exciting new season of Because That’s What Heroes Do! They begin their exploration of DS9 with a review of the series opening premier, Emissary.
The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine pilot episode, “Emissary,” serves as a compelling entry point into the series, featuring intricate relationships, spiritual themes, and a blend of science fiction and real-world elements.
Megan Dougherty, Tom Fox, and Murphy each offer their unique perspectives on the episode, based on their own experiences and backgrounds. Dougherty views the concept of the emissary as a fascinating blend of science fiction and spirituality, where she finds the reluctance of character Sisko to embrace his role as the emissary intriguing and ironical.
Fox, on the other hand, sees “Emissary” as a successful continuation of The Next Generation’s midseason, appreciating the focus on Sisko’s character development and the strategic transition from the previous series to Deep Space Nine.
Murphy shares Fox’s sentiment, recognizing the fluid storytelling and Sisko’s growth, along with the spiritual aspect and portrayal of the emissary.
Through their unique perspectives, Dougherty, Fox, and Murphy underscore the captivating complexity of Star Trek’s “Emissary.”
