A really pleasant episode with some good character building. Nothing about it blew me away, but it's easily a B.
I initially found this one really boring, but my love for it has grown substantially over the years. A tier for me.
A perfectly crafted episode. A or S are both equally valid ratings imo, just depends on your preference in style.
I unfortunately can't agree. The Cardassians are a military dictatorship that allows no internal dissent from the official version of events. The Cardassians also believe in their superiority over the Bajorans and their natural right to conquer them. So, when ancient Bajoran technological superiority is established as fact, as well as Bajorans entering Cardassian territory, what would be the Cardassian reaction? 3 heavily armed ships confront an unarmed antiquated Bajoran spacecraft. Destroy the Bajoran ship. Preserve the official version of the past. Maintain the belief in Cardassian supremacy. My point is Explorers should not have mixed upbeat story elements with a serious ongoing and far reaching element. Leave the Cardassians out. Have Sisko prove the Bajorans had made the trip before for his personal satisfaction and the Bajorans own validation.
High A. Its dang close to S though, there's just serious competition.
S tier for sure. I remember when it aired originally, I was 13 and salty that TNG was no longer on the air. Plus I think we all have daddy issues lol. Made me feel feelings. This might have been the first episode where I was like okay this might be as good as TNG.
Loved this! So many human moments. I want more of these. Many more!
Father/son time? Obrien and Bashir get sauced? Sure, she was dumb enough to think an Andorian was named “Julian Bashir”, but otherwise it’s a fantastic episode!
