RBDS9 014 – Progress (S1E14)

Rebinging Star Trek DS9: Progress
Welcome to S1E14 Progress. This episode is a beautifully nuanced story of Major Kira’s struggle between her past, her present and the future of Bajor. We get another high powered guest star in Brian Kieth. And because we love a good B-story, Jake and Nog are up to some shenanigans back on the station.
Progress?
Brian Keith plays a Bajoran deeply entrenched in his quiet life on a Bajoran moon. The trouble is, he’s in the way of Progress. The Bajoran provisional government (drink??) is tapping the moon’s core for energy resources and it needs to relocate everyone living there. Kira struggles with recognizing this as helping Bajor and not wanting to support forced relocation of anyone who survived a labor camp.

Meanwhile, back on the station, Jake and Nog are wheeling and dealing. They’ve come into some Cardassian yamok sauce that they (well mostly Nog) intend to turn into latinum. Shenanigans follow.
What’s this rebinge thing?
It’s a re-watch of a thing you’ve already seen but love to watch and talk about. We go deep with every episode, walking you through every scene and analyzing all of the characters and story lines.
Listen to our intro episode if you want to know a little more about us. And kick off the whole thing with our rebinge of the pilot episode Emissary. Or catch up on the previous episode: S1E13 The Storyteller.
Next time…
We dig into Season 1 Episode 15 of DS9: If Wishes Were Horses.

I do love this series opening credits and theme!
Nog is a better negotiator than Rhom. Quark is all about money, Rhom is about emotions and how he can use that currency, and Nog is a mix of those two.
Lol to Kim continuing to call him “Brian Keith”. 🙂
We really liked that episode! Brian Keith was great!
Really enjoying your podcasts! Just working my way through from the beginning. Hope you make it to the end of DS9
