There's nothing in the episode suggesting any of that.
Pot calling the kettle black.

Maybe they did show Sarah the future, maybe they didn't. But no evidence in the actual episode points to that. But we do have evidence that Sarah was not ok with what happened by the fact that she LEFT and never contacted Joseph. Also if they can show her the future, why didn't they tell Sarah she would die in a hovercar accident?

Oh that’s interesting. Anslem appeared in a one shot Comic last year, and they apparently used the prop from this episode as reference.


Anslem in DS9:Visitor looked a bit different, the prop in SFA does have a call back to it

Two of Avery’s children are also referenced on the Museum’s sign

I've taken time to watch it again and upped it from a 7 to a 9. I think it needs more than one viewing to get over the disjointedness one initially feels. I think once you get why Sam is talking and who to, it clicks.
Kerrice was excellent
 
SAM investigating Sisko's disappearance would be equivalent to someone investigating whether Arthur of Brittany was murdered and dumped in the Seine (c. 1203)

Yeah it is a bit silly. Also after SAM learned about Sisko she should have realized sisko was more a spiritual emissary to the Bajoran people since they saw the worm hole aliens as gods. She realistically would have looked for someone more current a non spiritual emmisary that she could learn from. Also you're righ. In the 32nd century Sisko and DS9 are supposed to be ancient history. Most people dont grow an affection for ancient historical figures fo model themselves after. They really needed to send STD to the 25th century. They went too far out and focusing on stuff 800 to 900 years in the past is kind of ridiculous. A couple decades later would have made more sense.
 
I've given them all a 2 - that means there's no way to finish watching to the end because it mostly completely sucks.

The series is a waste of space.
The show is just not for you, that’s fine.

That doesn’t mean is sucks. The poll numbers on this site say otherwise.

Calling the show a waste of space is pretty insulting to the people who do like it, and the people who made it.

I think you misread my comment. I wasn't saying it was unrealistic to look at someone from eight hundred years prior. Which is hardly ancient history anyway - that usually corresponds to about 500 CE and the fall of the Western Empire in most contexts, which would be in context about 1500 and the tail end of the War of the Roses to SAM. I was merely quantifying an equivalent, a mysterious "death" that happened about 800 years prior to the present that people, however few and far between are still interested in.

No one is insulted. People either enjoy it or don't. Artists and their work is not an insult, fans cannot be insulted. Art is not about insult because that's not it's intended purpose. It's such a bizarre saying that's way too common when people don't like something.

Humans are strange.
 
Seems to me explaining "what's going on" is up to you. So, explain what I'm missing about a character not being given a last name and how her getting a last name would signifcantly change or add depth to a character.
The idea is, I think, being mind-controlled into a marriage and pregnancy, her taking the name Sisko would likewise be against her will. Presumably she would reject such a name. With how we think of names and identity nowadays (deadnaming and such) to leave her with only her "victim name" as an identifier feels dismissive of the person who the Prophet used.
 
Have Bajorans always been known to touch earlobes without asking permission? I realized just how rude that is today, watching the episode!
