Matthew (he/him) and Jo (she/they) welcome “The Visitor” to the pod as we talk about one of the most deeply moving, timeless episodes of Star Trek. We put this episode in conversation with the classic TNG episode “The Inner Light”, we praise the acting of Tony Todd and how he and Avery Brooks were able to deliver the same intimate, father/son relationship that Avery Brooks and Cirroc Lofton have developed over the course of the series and we explore what this episode is saying about Jake’s grief and connect it to how the series premiere addresses Ben’s grief. Matthew asks if Jake Sisko is responsible for the Dominion War and Jo rants about Starfleet uniform timeline continuity As always, be prepared that spoilers may be lurking around every corner just like Garak on Empok Nor.Subscribe for weekly recaps of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, follow us online at @TerokNoir on Twitter for silly memes and polls and contact us by e-mail at teroknoirpod@gmail.com
