YOUTUBE - The Visitor | Star Trek Fans First Time Watching DS9

Re member linden unpopular opinion message: I don’t think this is a message episode. It’s just a story about love. Both ideas are there because it’s about love and love’s connecting threads.

Damn. I mean even just watching clips tears a flowing. How many times have I seen this ep. Never loses its impact. I just cry through it ever. Single. Time. It’s just so good.

maybe my favorite episode of all of star trek

My dad is the one who got me into sci-fi. Being a black man and seeing Jake and Ben have a very similar relationship as me and my father always spoken to me. Then becoming a father this great episode has come full circle for me.

One of the episodes I have been waiting a long while for you guys to see!

Well edited. Still ugly cried with only about 10 minutes of footage from the episode.

I’ve watched this one exactly once since I’ve been a father. My oldest is 20. Here we go I guess. Time to ugly cry at lunch.

Saw it when it came out, still brings a tear to my eye. Great father/son story.

Always a tear jerker. S easy

There's a handful of DS9s that I've been looking forward to seeing you cover, and this is the first. It makes my top ten all time all franchise list, no question. On a personal level, even the patron takes hit me with this one... as in... the comment from one of the bridge crew members who said of the Jake-Kira scene and Jake not wanting to leave-- because the station is all he has left of his dad-- that you realize when your parents die and you need to close up their old house for the last time that that'll be IT... that hit me because right now I'm in the process of cleaning out and selling my parents' house (they both died the past 3 years) and it's one of the hardest things I've ever done. Not just exhausting physically and mentally, but I face what should be simple tasks with the deepest resistance and the worst procrastination ("I can't do this now") I've ever felt (and as Orson Welles said once, "I'm good once I get started, but I'm a master at finding reasons to not get started"). That comment (I think from Ken R) made me sort of realize that one reason I feel so resistant to this task is because once the house is cleaned out and sold, that's it. It's the reason why even going through a box of their papers or clothing or household items just wrings me out. I don't want to let go of them. So thanks!

Thank you for this

I've watched it so many times and always cry... Having lost my mother since this hits harder... One of the best all-time episodes of the entire franchise

I was tearing up with you guys❤️
