I am glad to see someone has taken the opening episode of Deep Space 9 and created a clip of one of the more theoretically interesting segments of the episode. Granted, this was uploaded 4 years ago, but I had not come across a short version of the clip until now.
I watched the show when I was in middle/high school and had the opportunity to rewatch it all the way through when we picked up the complete series a few years ago. While the longer story arcs are compelling and the show gains some decent steam in the 4 and 5th season, much of it is not digestable for a class (unless I am teaching "The Politics of Star Trek"). Unlike traditional Star Trek series (Original, ST:TNG), much of the better stories are not episodic.
The clip features Commander (not quite a Captain yet) Sisko explaining to wormhole aliens the utility of living in linear time – the aliens experience time simultaneously.
With the proper context, this can make it into a game theory lecture.
