Me during and after seeing it:

Put it off for about a week, looking at the “watch next” button and scrolling away a bunch. It’s good, but dammit, it hits hard.

Reminder from Iaranis to add s4e2 “The Visitor”

      I haven’t watched DS9 in a long time. I don’t have a dad to call anymore. Not sure how I’d feel if I watched it now.

        I’m a dad, so you can call me.

          I’m a dad too. But I can’t call myself.

            I can buy you a second phone if that would help.

    Tony Todd needs to be in all the things. He is such a brilliant actor that I even looked forward to Kurn episodes, unlike any other Worf’s family story lines.

      Must be coming down with something. Although, A Fistful of Datas is fun despite his presence.

    Gut-wrenching, puts you through an emotional wringer, and leaves you feeling empty inside.

    Absolute masterpiece, would watch again, A+++++

    My favorite episode of trek. I am basically incapable of watching it without being reduced to blubbering

    I need to actually give DS9 a proper watch. I’ve only seen scattered episodes out of order. I know that I’ve never seen this one.

      It’s not one that can readily be swept out of mind.

        Your post inspired me to go rewatch it…

        The first time I saw it I was the son. Now, I’m the father.

        Hits hard both ways.

    So, I’m not a big fan personally. Like, I get why people love it but it just doesn’t do anything for me. And I’m a dad to boot.

      It’s not for me either. I really do appreciate what the episode does, mechanically, with its storytelling. It just doesn’t land for me. I’m glad so many people enjoy it.

      It’s a straight ass episode and I totally never understood the praise. It’s not a skipper for me, but I’ll never rewatch it. It’s a completely middle of the road DS9.
