For those who haven't seen The Visitor

I just wanted to echo what already has been said. "The Vistor" is a true classic!!! A great example of how sci-fi can be used to create great drama and story!!!

Agreed. Welcome aboard, Odo Fan 1977.

What is truly sad is that SPIKE didn't conclude their DS9 run with this. Instead they finished up with Hippocratic Oath...

The Visitor is, by far, my favorite Trek episode of any series. Well written, well acted, a wonderfully creative twist on the 'absent father' motif. And not a single phaser beam involved.

You nailed it...this is TREK at its best...Someone said it wasn't realistic, but I couldn't disagree more...it is as realistic as TREK can be about fathers/sons and, in this case, how that love can transcend all time and space!!
