152 - Dominion (PIC3x07) (with Barm, Sam Stovold, and Sean Davis)
Nov 2, 2025
Sam is back to continue his strange and wonderful habit of only watching every third Picard S3 episode, joined by Sean for his second dalliance with the season. Barm and Jack remain in the trenches, shell-shocked. But their spirits are buoyed by one of Levar Burton’s most moving performances ever and by realizing Brent Spiner is, somehow, still an actor capable of doing some interesting performances even after being buried under a mountain of Soongs. They’re also enjoying clarifying the story of Mario Sunshine, discussing the Japanese titles of Dominion expansions, imagining a sweet-ass Riker/Tuvok team-up, lamenting Discovery style “drama” and lighting issues, ranking Captain/Admiral’s sons, discussing their personal favorite John Wick installments, and exploring their changing attitudes towards Mario 64 levels. It’s just business as usual.
