I loved this. It was good to see Cirroc Lofton again. I lost my dad about a year and a half ago so this was touching.
Cirroc Lofton, he really gain some wt.
The show has arrived.
I’ve enjoyed SFA from episode one, but it was never quite there. This one was.
The tone is spot on for the audience, and they’ve hit the sweet spot for the long term fans.
What I loved the most? It was about (and overall highly respectful of) Sisko, but it was actually about SAM. The episode had some real heart to it, and it wasn’t a nostalgia fest. The entire narrative was all about SAM and it worked for me.
Did Sisko ever return? In absolute terms maybe not, but the idea that perhaps he never really left is a warming concept. Perhaps his presence as a good father and husband just changed. It’s an angle that I think was respectful whilst maintaining the mystery. Cirroc was fantastic, and his scenes really brought that theme home.
Tawny’s natural humour works perfectly for this show. She respects the material in her writing but finds the relevance today. Her portrayal of Dax was also delightful.
Some of it felt silly - but it worked. It was silly and fun, with heart. In context of what this show is meant to be - college - it felt different for Star Trek but right in context.
More hints continued from episode one that perhaps the Doctor has in many ways become a tragic figure in terms of his own “immortality”. I’m glad this thread got picked up again, as we haven’t really seen it since episode one. My slight fear is that something horrible befell the USS Prodigy crew, but I’m hoping it will be wrapped more into that general loneliness of seeing his connections age and die over the centuries.
I really hope they can maintain this - following some early experiments in episodes 1, 2, and 3, the show in the last couple of episodes really seems to have found its tone.
More like the last two please!
My SFA review wouldn’t be complete without “men taking the mantle of skintight outfits women endured for years in Star Trek” Watch - and Caleb’s circulation must have been cut off by that vest in this one. Trouser splitting is also a real risk.

No matter how someone tries explain it, it just comes off a bad. It's a confusing plot point for DS9 that makes you wonder what were they thinking to even consider it.Personally, I don't tend to view Sarah Sisko as "possessed" in the way that Kira was.
I cannot fathom her living with Joseph for two years as 100% Prophet just pretending to be human, I think she carried the 'essence' of a Prophet within her in a subtler way.
Joseph Sisko "I loved that woman and she loved me. I know she did." "...you and your stepmother were so close. She made you laugh like nobody else..."
When Prophet-Sarah talks about that time, she doesn't talk about possession or force. She says she shared Sarah's existence. That she guided her to Joseph. That's not to say it wasn't some form of control. Sarah leaving a year after Ben was born does tell us that without that shared existence she no longer wanted to be there. Beyond that it's guesswork and assumptions. Which I'm all for.
And that's after she'd already been inserted into DS9's history via Lower Decks. Damn greedy!
Who cares? Let‘s just cut the judging of or commenting on actors’ wheights. Thank you.
I thought Cirroc looked damn good.
I'm not trying to minimize the event, I'm just explaining how I view it. The Prophets did something that we consider unacceptable. It is what it is. Other characters made mistakes along the way too, it's one of the things I like about the show.
How is it confusing?
I didn't say you were. All I was saying is that its weird creative decision they went with for Sisko's mother. Because no matter how you look at it, its just has a really bad look.
Because it shows his mom just abandoned him never to communicate with him again.6
Just making sure.
Bad things happen in families. The end.
Looking forward to the walk of names inevitably being a meaningful prop in this character arc.
The graphics in the museum said 2408.
It's been twenty-seven years since DS9 ended. I think we've all gained some weight since 1999.
Eh. It looks more like he packed on muscle. He was a skinny kid back in DS9. Im surprised this surprised you. You haven't seen his podcast??
no, I don't follow up on him.
I'm eagerly waiting for the soup spoon merch to drop! Make great conversation pieces at mealtimes!
"Bad look" is an impoverished critique. Maybe I don't care for the writers making Sisko the product of a nonconsensual relationship, but it fits within the broader themes of Deep Space Nine. People who make a difference do not necessarily have pristine upbringings, and through their lives, they may choices and compromises that may diminish their own happiness. Adding in elements of myth and religion only make that more prescient. Sisko constantly argued with the prophets. He went to the gates of heaven to shake his fists at the gods, and delivered in Avery Brooks most fervent pitch, he tells them, "You have no right to interfere with my life." And the Prophets respond by erasing the Dominion fleet and imposing a curse upon him.
The episode explored what choices mean and how it affects one's life to serve one's society. I think it did it well. Being uncomfortable comes with the territory.
