Second Officer Slog 057: The 34th Rule - a podcast by Em Marko and Jackson Tyler

We’re back with an infamous book written in part by Armin Shimerman about how he had wished DS9 had addressed the way people treat the Ferengi in Star Trek. Absolutely a thing someone should have done. Does this book manage to tackle it with courage and conviction? Well, yeah. Mostly. Does it manage to stick talking about the racism inherent in Star Trek in a way that’s considered? Weeeeeellllll, that’s a complicated question. One we get into!

SPOILERS for some of Voyager’s world state, Picard’s premise, and DS9 broadly
