Which Trek episodes could be interpreted as Father's Day episodes?

[Luther Sloan]

Hello everyone. I was thinking about Father's Day (Which is coming up June 20th this coming Sunday) in relation to Star Trek. It got me wondering which Father's Day related episodes exist within the Trek-verse. So far I have come up with two of them. I found one episode from Deep Space Nine (In which I watched recently, and I dug up one episode from Voyager (in which I watched a few weeks ago)).

Well, without me having to spell it out (or spoil it) for you: I will let you dig thru the Trek episodes yourselves and see if you come up with the same two episodes I did.

So happy hunting and Happy Upcoming Father's Day, folks!

Well, have fun posting and take it easy, my dear fellow Trekkers.

Sincerely,

~LS.

While not the ones you picked, here are my two cents worth.

The Icarus Factor, an appropriate episode for those who have "father issues".

The Offspring, a real tear jerker.

 

[Broccoli]

I am guessing the DS9 episode was "The Visitor".

 

[Kertrats47]

Voyager... "Once Upon a Time"?

 

[sbk1234]

Amok Time, since it focuses so heavily on a father/son relationship.
The one where Worf has to deal with his son coming to live with him.
That's all I got off the top of my head.

 

[Lord Garth]

"The Visitor" is an easy one at the first thing that came to my mind.

Amok Time, since it focuses so heavily on a father/son relationship.

I think you mean "Journey to Babel".

Another one is the episode where The Doctor ran the simulation of a family.

"A Fistful of Datas" is an unconventional choice but I choose it because it's a father and son having an adventure together.

 

[Rett Mikhal]

Q2 or the Q and the Grey come to mind, the latter especially if your father is a Trek and history/Civil War buff.

 

[Sibo191]

I guess it would depend on what you're looking for.
My choices are:

"The Visitor" - DS9
"The Offspring" - TNG
"The Inner Light" - TNG
"Real Life" - VOY
"Time's Orphan" - DS9

 

[Madzilla]

Maybe 'Tattoo' from Voyager, which has quite a lot of focus on Chakotay's relationship with his father? And 'Lineage' has quite a lot of scenes with young B'Elanna and her father, and her issues with him, and then of Tom as prospective father.

And another vote for The Visitor.

 

[Pemmer Harge]

If the DS9 episode isn't The Visitor, then it's surely Ties of Blood and Water.

 

[Bad Atom]

I bought "The Visitor" on VHS for my dad on Father's Day one year. The perfect gift.

 

[bluedana]

ENT:Similitude.

 

[sbk1234]

"The Visitor" is an easy one at the first thing that came to my mind.

Amok Time, since it focuses so heavily on a father/son relationship.

I think you mean "Journey to Babel".

I stand corrected. Thanks.

Q and the Grey

I'm not sure the sons would appericate stories about how they were conceived.

 

[The Wormhole]

I honestly don't know of any TOS episodes that would be applicable. Someone above mentioned Journey to Babel, I guess that's as close as that series gets to a Father's Day episode. The other series, however:

TNG
The Icarus Factor
The Offspring
Future Imperfect
New Ground
The Inner Light
Birthright
Firstborn
Bloodlines

DS9
The Alternate
Explorers
The Visitor
The Begotten
Ties of Blood and Water
In the Cards
Sons and Daughters

Voyager
Real Life

Enterprise
Daedalus

 

[StarryEyed]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Wrath of Khan for the touching scene where David reveals that he is very proud to be Kirk's son. Also the two DS9 episodes involving Tkenny Ghemor and that Voyager episode with the old man who in his dementia, thought Janeway was his daughter.

 

[The Wormhole]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Wrath of Khan for the touching scene where David reveals that he is very proud to be Kirk's son.

The thread title specifically says episodes, which would disqualify TWOK since it is a movie.

 

[SchwEnt]

I honestly don't know of any TOS episodes that would be applicable.

I'm gonna push it--"The Changeling"

Kirk is so proud at the end
"My son, the doctor"

Side Note:

Initially the first two episodes I came up (off the top of my head) was... DS9's "Explorers" and VOY's "Lineage", though.

I'm going to add TNG's Family for the scenes between Worf and his parents. It's light-hearted but it shows Sergei's unconditional love for his adopted son, and Worf's appreciation of this.
