Me during and after seeing it:

Put it off for about a week, looking at the “watch next” button and scrolling away a bunch. It’s good, but dammit, it hits hard.
Reminder from Iaranis to add s4e2 “The Visitor”
laranis, S4E2
ummthatguy, 
Thanks. Forgot to add that info as I’ve been doing lately.
laranis, Your post inspired me to go rewatch it…
The first time I saw it I was the son. Now, I’m the father.
Hits hard both ways.
ummthatguy, Worfspeed my friend. Bring some tissues.
jawa21, 
I need to actually give DS9 a proper watch. I’ve only seen scattered episodes out of order. I know that I’ve never seen this one.
ummthatguy, It’s not one that can readily be swept out of mind.

Klanky, 
So, I’m not a big fan personally. Like, I get why people love it but it just doesn’t do anything for me. And I’m a dad to boot.
Telodzrum, It’s not for me either. I really do appreciate what the episode does, mechanically, with its storytelling. It just doesn’t land for me. I’m glad so many people enjoy it.
rezz, It’s a straight ass episode and I totally never understood the praise. It’s not a skipper for me, but I’ll never rewatch it. It’s a completely middle of the road DS9.
mannycalavera, 
Phenomenal episode.
Bishma, 
Tony Todd needs to be in all the things. He is such a brilliant actor that I even looked forward to Kurn episodes, unlike any other Worf’s family story lines.
ummthatguy, cough Alexander cough

Must be coming down with something. Although, A Fistful of Datas is fun despite his presence.
grrgyle, How tf are you not on the startrek.website instance, these gifs are great
ummthatguy, (edited ) I have an alt account there I use when things go fuckey over here, but as for the communities, well let’s just say I’m here for various reasons. Also, the gifs aren’t mine. I just search and source as needed.

HuntressHimbo, My favorite episode of trek. I am basically incapable of watching it without being reduced to blubbering
PhobosAnomaly, Gut-wrenching, puts you through an emotional wringer, and leaves you feeling empty inside.
Absolute masterpiece, would watch again, A+++++
TheAlbatross, God, I can’t watch that episode without calling my dad after.
ummthatguy,
FlyingSquid, 
I haven’t watched DS9 in a long time. I don’t have a dad to call anymore. Not sure how I’d feel if I watched it now.
dohpaz42, 
I’m a dad, so you can call me.
FlyingSquid, I’m a dad too. But I can’t call myself.
Repelle, I can buy you a second phone if that would help.
