I watched the episode The Visitor with mike right now. It’s his first time watching ds9 and I’m rewatching it with him and I purposely haven’t watched this episode since the first time I saw it, a few months after my dad passed away about 2 and a half years ago. This episode triggered me so unbelievably bad that I was a mess the rest of the day. But I knew mike had to watch it tonight. He had to see one of the best Star Trek episodes of all time.

The second time watching it in over a year or 2 and the pain doesn’t hurt any less.

To this day I still haven’t seen an episode discuss the very intimate feelings of losing someone close to you than this episode of Star Trek. And is honestly one of the reasons why I think ds9 is the best Star Trek.
