Anslem is Father in Bajoran!



The museum is nice!







Probably an original...?








If the Sisko parts hadn't been interrupted by pink hair, scarf, silly table games, and being drunk stuff, it would be a great episode. After is was hyped that much, I kinda expected more, and am left underwhelmed. But it was still good!

There’s no credit for Dennis McCarthy for use of the DS9 theme that I can find.

It’s not like they don’t credit composers, Alexander Courage is always credited for the TOS theme, including in this episode

I have a question. This episode wasn't a 10 for me mainly because I thought the stuff at the Bar was dumb and everytime they went to the Kelric storyline I wanted them to go back to Sam and her solving Sisko's mystery. When it was just Sam and it was more serious (Illa, Jake, her talk with the Makers) this episode was really great. However, everything else put the episode closer to the Reflux episode which I didn't like so it dropped the episode down a bit. I think I'm going to give this a 7 mainly because this was a great tribute and this is the kind of thing worthy of the 60th anniversary. Now, my question:

Did they actually get Avery Brooks to record the message or was that Ejiofor? If it was Ejiofor, he does a great Sisko Impression.

I love that Mariner is a Dax, and that was a great twist at the end. That means we could see more of her which I wouldn't mind. In a way, this episode kind of reminded me of Lower Decks. I loved the effects, but while there were stupid parts to it, it's heart was in the right place. This was a very heartfelt tribute.

I noticed that too. There should have been.

 

[Galaxy]

That was different then expected.

I was going to go for a 9 but the DS9 Theme at the end, pushed it to 10

It was Avery. But it’s existing audio from somewhere, not newly recorded for the episode.

I’m not sure where Chiwetel Ejiofor‘s voice would be. He’s also not in the credits.

Ok. I thought we would have had a Lower Decks Jolene Blalock situation which would have shocked me considering Brooks is much more distant from this franchise than Jolene is.

It was Avery, but I can't find a source for that poem.
Kurtzman said it's a recording he gave them permission to use, but how old or new it is, is unknown so far.

He was in the intro as a "special guest star". I was wondering what character he played.

Oh. I guess I blinked

 

[NCC-73515]

Probably the energy being yelling at her

 

[Galaxy]

I mean I was expecting to see the wormhole, but I guess the book was "magical" essentially.

 

[trek.]

that FC uniform looks pretty rough if it was an original... couldn't they have ironed it lol.

I think he played Sam’s creator or whatever you’d call that being

Listening back with my eyes closed and just focusing, I think that’s him in there.

 

[NCC-73515]

Jake did however not exactly say that Ben ever returned, only that he felt his presence

You're probably right. The voice is so deep though, but if it was a voice over role, that was pretty much the only other Voice Over.

It's 800 years old, and he probably went into the fire with it

Considering the age of it, plus we don’t know how it was stored, may not have been safe to.

It certainly looks original to me. Matches this one that was sold in 2015
