The one where O'Brien suffers again.
Hello, and welcome to another episode of Space Crime Continuum, the Star Trek podcast that asks the question: Do we really need to combine true crime and Star Trek?
This week's episode is a dark one, so listener discretion is advised. We'll be discussing themes of suicide and self-harm.
This week, we're covering the Deep Space Nine episode "Hard Time," where Chief O'Brien is accused of espionage and sentenced to what he believes is 20 years in prison. In reality, only a few hours have passed, but the psychological effects of his imprisonment follow him back to the station, making for one of the series' most intense and emotional stories.
Join Haley and me as we discuss this unforgettable episode alongside the real-life Canadian story of how the prison system failed a young woman.
