I just got to this scene and it might be the most human moment ever shown on Star Trek. Dax owns.

The thing about The Visitor is it would work just fine on its own, I think, as it has stuff that pretty much anyone can relate to and all you really need to know is "father and son, time travel thingy, got it". But it's also one of the best episodes of anything ever, and it improves if you've seen the rest of the show, so it feels like a crime to short-change it at all, if you can help it.

DS9 does not have many stand-alone episodes because it’s not that type of show

The first time I watched "The Visitor," I had seen maybe one season of DS9 total and I thought the episode was okay. The second time I watched it, it was in sequence as I watched the entire series for the first time and it loving destroyed me. I'm not sure if I can bear to watch it again when it comes around in The Greatest Generation's schedule.

Caught the first episode of DS9 on TV last night and I'm disappointed this will never get a HD release because the first few episodes are really rough looking. They showed the first episode of Sliders after so I guess I know what I'm going to start watching again.

This isn’t a bad thing because Tony Todd but it does mean the main character for most of the episode isn’t really a main character. Or rather the actual actor doesn’t really get to do much. Imagine if Nog in It’s Only a Paper Moon was played by another actor. But spread your arms as wide as you can and then hold your fingers close together and that’s how big my actual complaint is relative to the rest of the episode.

It's a valid complaint. I wonder how Cirroc Lofton felt about it.

Deadline is saying that the fourth reboot movie is dead (albeit offhandedly in an article about a completely different franchise)quote:I hear [SJ] Clarkson was recruited by HBO for GOT after she recently became available. Earlier this year, Clarkson was the first female director to be tapped to direct a Star Trek movie when she was hired to helm the fourth feature in the current series. That project has since been shelved. Despite generally enjoying the reboot films (yes, even Into Darkness) I'm not particularly broken up about this.

I still rewatch the original TOS movies on the regular, but other than occasionally enjoying the opening scene of ST2009, when the Kelvin goes to town, yeah, I simply haven't felt the need to rewatch any of the reboots.

It sucks, I feel like the cast had finally gelled in Beyond, but I’d rather see the series end than come back missing half the cast and most of the budget for a potential 4th film. Hopefully this also kills the Tarantino project.

Hopefully this also kills the Tarantino project. Yeah, I'm of two minds on this. I was always skeptical of a fourth movie getting off the ground, considering the only people they had under contract were Pine and Quinto, but once they named SJ Clarkson as the director, I got a bit more optimistic. And then ... complete radio silence, outside of Pegg and Quinto mentioning they'd heard the story but hadn't seen a script. It's a bit of a bummer. I really, really like Pine's take on Kirk. Part of me wonders, considering all the shows that are in development, if CBS yanked Paramount's film license.

You guys are crazy, Tarantino Trek would rule. Even if it didn't it would be a shot in the arm for the franchise to have a creative at the helm that can bring more to the table than reheated action movie tropes that were flavors of the month while the film was in Pre production.
