Summary

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode, "Fascination," love - or a close proximity - is in the air when Lwaxana drops by Deep Space Nine for the Bajoran Gratitude Festival. She's still obsessed with Odo. Vedek Bareil's obsession shifts from Kira to Jadzia. Jadzia is all over Sisko, and Jake can't stop obsessing over Kira. The only two who can't seem to fall in love are the O'Briens. Hosted by John Champion & Ken Ray Welcome to Mission Log, a Roddenberry Entertainment podcast, where we explore the Star Trek universe one episode at a time.

Recap the story and analyze key moments. Discuss the moral dilemmas presented. Debate whether the episode holds up and if the messages are still relevant.
