Summary
In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Whispers," Miles O'Brien is back from a mission and things are really weird. His wife Keiko is even more annoyed than usual with the engineer. His daughter Molly won't have anything to do with him. His coworkers are acting cagey and secretive. But Dr. Bashir gives the Chief a clean bill of health. So, if there's nothing wrong with Miles, is there something wrong with everyone in Starfleet?
Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray
