Phantasms! That's right. The Deanna cake episode. And it comes with a new shirt from us! And also a bunch of other really seemingly random imagery that becomes over-explained by the time the episode wraps. But hey, it's fun to see Data answer a phone call from his chest, or see Beverly drink out Riker's brains through a straw, or seeing Sigmund Freud tell Data to kill them all. Y'know, the usual.

Cardassians! The most generic title of any Star Trek episode ever? Seriously, what would you guess that this episode would be about from a title like "Cardassians"? If you guessed a child custody battle between a Bajoran stepfather and a Cardassian politican over the politician's biological son combined with a romping adventure with Julian and Garak, then you're a filthy cheater who's already seen the episode before.

Gambit, Part II! Now that the jig is up and the show finally admits that Picard is alive, let's get back down to business, which is watching space pirate carry out a Cannon movies-esque super weapon heist while the Enterprise kinda follows long and basketball player James Worthy towers over Worf. Yup. Back to basics.

Invasive Procedures! Man, this guy really wants a worm in him. So much so that he's willing to steal another worm from another lady in order to get that worm in him. Man, what a dummy. I hope Sisko beats the crap out of him, or at least that Sisko beats the crap outta somebody. Come on!

Gambit, Part I! Gene Roddenberry wouldn't allow space pirates in Star Trek, but now he's DEAD. It turns out, space pirate stories are a ton of fun and TNG probably should've done it a while ago. So Picard's murdered, Riker has to solve his mystery, he gets captured by Richard Lynch, and Data ends up acting captain, doing the Mr. Burns fingers. Oh and Picard un-dies. Also, Star Wars vibes again! Wow~!

The Siege! Not Under Siege, but also kind of like Under Siege? Also kind of like Star Wars! Also, combat rations instead of French onion soup! Boy, there's a lot going on in this episode.

Interface! On the one hand, we have the premise of Geordi being plugged into a new remotely-controlled holographic drone thing that's controlled through a neural interface straight out of Lawnmower Man. Neat. On the other hand, we have the premise of Geordi's mom going missing, leading to an exploration of Geordi's backstory with his family and him trying to reconnect with his mom. Also neat. Are these two great tastes that go great together? No!

The Circle! Will the Circle be unbroken? Well, if Minister Jaro and Vedek Winn get their way, they certainly will! This second-act episode sets up Kira's ejection from DS9, a Bajoran coup, and a potential showdown between the Cardassians' proxy Bajoran army and the Federation. Also, weird sexy dream between Kira and Vedek Bareil? What's goin' on here?!
