Which episode of Voyager would you recommend to a DS9 fan?

[KelisThePoet]

A variation on the more general "how should I introduce the series to someone new" thread:

Which episode of Voyager would you recommend to a Deep Space Nine fan?

A fan of the new Kelvinverse movies?

A fan of original Star Trek?

. . . you get the idea.

 

[Jedman67]

Threshhold for all of the above.

 

[Sophie74656]

I think I would say Year of Hell for a DS9 fan.

 

[Lynx]

"Cold Fire"
Spooky and exciting!

 

[MacLeod]

I might go for "Living Witness"

 

[Sophie74656]

I might go for "Living Witness"

Oh yes, I think that would be a good one too

 

[Tracy Trek]

Maybe Timeless. Because, you know, Harry goes renegade.

"Fair Trade" deals with a Space Station that's sort of reminiscent of DS9's seedier side ...

It always a good idea to watch Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy.

One of my favorites just because it's pure fun. Reminds me actually of that episode where Quark has to be a woman

Yes, I am one of the rare people I know of, that liked that one.

 

[KelisThePoet]

What about a Kelvinverse fan?

How do we hook the newest generation of Trekkie on Voyager?

 

[Triskelion]

Stare into a heat lamp for ten minutes and then put in Prey.

Here are my own picks:

For a Deep Space Nine fan: "Latent Image," "Survival Instinct" -- psychologically dark, ethically complex episodes unafraid to complicate their characters' lives

For a Kelvinverse fan: "Year of Hell," "Dark Frontier," "Unimatrix Zero" -- Voyager's biggest, most romantic, most cinematic fun adventures

For an original Star Trek fan: "The Thaw," "Displaced," "Blink of an Eye" -- characters put in strange, alien and episodic situations

 

[Sophie74656]

I would add Memorial for DS9 fans

"The Thaw" is actually a very good episode, in my opinion, one that is in the top then of the series. The actor who plays the clown is just fantastic, much better than Kim for example.They should have lost Kim and gotten the clown in his place.

I liked The Thaw. The concept of it was interesting, the way the clown came to be, scaring people to death, how they defeated him

Yes, for once it all held together pretty well.

My initial thought of the episode was why did they program such a creepy environment? haha

My guess is that the initial environment must have been pleasant but after the clown appeared he reprogrammed it to suit his needs. I am just surprised that with his murderous tendencies the clown had been able to refrain from killing them all but one.
