Suddenly, two tethered balls of searing plasma whip across the deck, end-over-end, dismembering crew and destroying consoles as it flew along.

WampaLord posted:Okay but he was right at the end, so ultimately he didn't waste his life. He gets to go back to being young Jake with his alive dad. Yeah, in hindsight. Sisko had no way of knowing Jake would ever figure it out. Jake had no way of knowing he'd ever figure it out. It only worked because you're not going to kill off the main character randomly in the middle of the show.

Are there any media with space triremes? I wanna see tons of ships just smashing into one another and swarming each other with laser spears.

Old Jake ended up being right AND it was an emotionally grueling experience, what's so hard about this.

The Visitor? You mean the future without a Dominion war where billions and billions of people live stable happy lives including Jake?

Kazinsal posted:I would love to have him as a theatre professor. He may not have explicit passion about a specific project but he does seem to have passion about the craft and the characters he plays. My dad had him as a theater professor and does a very good impression of the time Avery Brooks yelled at him for performing a McDonald's commercial instead of something artistic.

Just watched "The Wire" in my DS9 rewatch. I had taken for granted that Garak was the best character for so long that it had almost become a joke in my mind. Now I'm reminded that it isn't a joke. Garak owns. DS9 owns.

McNally posted:Actually, Jake's obsession with getting his father back caused his wife to leave him. As family-oriented as Sisko is, I can understand how he'd view that as terrible. Bear in mind that after Jake got married and became a renowned writer, he dropped all of that poo poo to focus entirely on rescuing his dad and spent decades of his life to that single purpose. THAT was the waste. yeah doesnt it turn out that he only wrote the one book? like yes it was tremendously successful but it was the only thing he ever did, and the success only demonstrates that he had an incredible potential to write more fantastic stories and he wasted all of it essentially chasing his father's ghost i'm not trying to be rude or a jerk but i'm honestly dumbfounded to hear someone say anything negative about The Visitor, it's easily one of (if not THE) best trek episodes, period. flawless hour of television, it takes full advantage of its genre, doing exactly what sci-fi is supposed to do. it's so relatable, and even believable despite the fantastical premise. it's so well written and especially soooo well acted*, it might be my favorite TV episode ever. *there's a video blog podcast type thingy called The Alpha Quadrant made and starring who else but Harry Kim and mf'ing Nog, Garret Wang and Aron Eisenberg together with one or two different friends or guest stars each episode, discussing different new sci-fi TV show episodes, like STD, Orville, and others. It's surprisingly good, it's hilarious watching Nog clown on Harry Kim, although a little Eisenberg goes a long way: dude TALKS. and TALKS. and TALKS. but anyway, there's an episode where the guest is the lovely Armin Shimmerman. it's delightful watching him get absolutely fed up with how annoying Eisenberg is, you can look at his face and almost see his mind thinking "holy poo poo, I had completely forgotten what he's like off camera, why did I agree to this?" they swap some great and informative ds9 stories and during a discussion about The Visitor, Eisenberg talks about working with Tony Todd and how dedicated he was to his performance. He spent hours talking with Eisenberg about Cirroc Lofton, not just about the character of Jake but about Cirroc himself, to get a feel for the real guy and help further inform his performance. It really paid off too: obviously Tony Todd is super recognizable, just his voice alone is unmistakable, and he's been so many different characters under so many different prosthetics and shades of makeup. and while he doesn't look much like Cirroc at all, I always found it super easy to suspend my disbelief and say "yep, that's Jake right there, that's who Jake grows up to be" without ever questioning it one bit. His scenes with Avery are particularly moving, quite a feat as this is their first interaction together and yet it feels every bit as though we are seeing a now grown son finally, momentarily reunited with the father he has sacrificed his entire life to chase and rescue. The love is almost palpable. you can absolutely buy that Tony Todd is that man, that he is the guy who did all of this because he loves his dad Avery Brooks so drat much. God, I could keep gushing over this episode forever

I honestly don't get the people criticizing aspects of The Visitor myself, either. Like, I try hard not to judge people for having different opinions, or toss around accusations of brokebrainedness, but this 'why was Sisko so sad that Jake wasted most of his life and sacrificed his family and killed himself to get him back, it worked and he's erased and Jake gets to live a different life, so why should Sisko be upset, so what' stuff is just, like,

just finished seasons one through six, there might be something good in seven but as it stands that video not only contains every single decent moment in the show so far but is also on its own better than any/every individual episode
