Summary
In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Second Sight," Gideon Seyetik is bigger than life, about to take on the biggest challenge he's ever faced: reigniting a dead star. Commander Sisko is up against a big, depressing anniversary. But there's something bigger than both of them and the big things they're facing: the emotional distress of Seyetik's wife - Nidell, and her imaginary double - Fenna. Sisko's found love, but can it last?
Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray
