      TBH, O’brien’s been on the Enterprise long enough to know that when weird, seemingly powerful creatures start talking to you, you should be very, very careful. Even if they present themselves as storybook characters.

    I watched this for the first time yesterday. Going through DS9 starting from Season 1.

    I don’t hate it, but it can be skipped as it has nothing to do with anything after. Actually the more I think about it the less I like it. I do like how the aliens are basically explorers just like Starfleet just different. That’s a spoiler but honestly who cares lol

      There is one small thing linking this episode to the rest - Sisko’s baseball. The alien posing as Buck Bokai gives Sisko the ball that spends the rest of the series on his desk. I also actually quite like all of the interactions between Sisko and Bokai.

      A lot of Season 1 is skippable if you feel like it. I’m sure there’s a website out there with essential Season 1 episodes, but they didn’t really know what they were doing with the show yet.

    I must have slept through this one. Can someone tell me which season/episode this is? I don’t remember it at all

    Which episode has the most Jake screentime? That’s the worst one.

      Incorrect. The episode with Jake having the most screen time is The Visitor and that episode is a gem.

        Since that’s a cheat, there’s also Progress, where Nog and Jake end up with the self-sealing stem bolts and the yamak sauce. I think it’s pretty amusing anyway.

        Wait a minute, that’s not Cirroc Lofton, it’s Tony Todd.

        It’s a fake.

        Ugh. It would be a gem to me if it weren’t directly after the Klingons and Worf entering the story. It’s like a mixtape that starts off with two Metallica songs amd goes straight into Joni Mitchell.

        On the other hand, quite bold of Star Trek to imagine a future where people read things instead of watched cat videos.
