'And I'm proud of what you've accomplished.' - benjamin

I just finished season 4 of ds9 and here are my thoughts as a first time viewer:

- starting the season off strong with some Garashir flirting in the medbay 😏

- love to see Worf, but where's Alexander?

- and where the hell is KEIKO

- cool can't wait to ugly cry every time I think about 'The Visitor'

- omg did Julian and miles break up? :(

- they got back together, thanks Keiko :)

- let Jadzia bang her ex-wife!!! LEAVE HER ALONE! GET A JOB!

- Our Man Bashir is just Julian and Garak on a date, having a normal fun good time as boyfriends

- Quark is really out here just trying to get Odo's attention huh

- I am once again asking: if Dukat evil, why sexy!!!?!

- Kira's line to Dukat : "why is that when you smile I wanna leave the room" is so real

- KEIKO'S BACK

- Keiko really said, "you don't need to break up with Julian just cause I'm back, Miles 🙄" our poly matchmaking queen

- Fashion Spotlight: Whatever the hell Quark's been wearing all season 🌈

- Jake. Please. Date someone your own age, I am begging you.

- Benjamin. Stop letting older alien women near your teenage son!

- crazy mirror Julian can still get it, but a little less cause of the haircut

- Ah Weyoun, I've heard so much about you and idk I'm not sold yet pal 🧐

- the Jem'hadar are still serving 💅 they're so sassy and for what

- ommmggg kira joining the polycule as a surrogate / Keiko's girlfriend

- so Quark's just openly pining for Odo now huh

- Miles suggesting Julian move in...DO IT! KEIKO WILL LET YOU! COMPLETE THE POLYCULE!

Ds9 is still holding the title of my fave star trek franchise (sorry tos I love you forever) let's go season 5!

a self-indulgent, woeful reflection on The Visitor under the cut:

The Visitor makes me afraid of grief. I've been incredibly fortunate to have never lost someone dear to me, but I know it's an inevitability and I'm scared for it to arrive.

I don't want to lose my father, or my family, or anyone I care about. The expression of loss in The Visitor hits so hard, even when I can't personally connect to it, and I can't imagine how much worse it will be when I can understand. It terrifies me to put myself in the role of someone who's grieving, and all I can do now is hope that it happens later rather than sooner.

I can't imagine many things worse than loss. I've dealt with heartbreak, physical trauma, sexual assault, but somehow I don't think I can work through grief as easily as I can those other events. If I can barely handle a fictional portrayal of grief separate from myself, I don't know how I'll get through anything more local.

I am grateful for the people in my life, and this episode reminds me to express that more often. As much as it hurts to imagine, there will come a day where I can't do that anymore. It feels easy to squander the luxury of relationships without thinking about when they might end.

This is self-indulgent, I know. And I know there are people that experience the grief that I can only imagine. Though it takes some sci-fi episode to remind me, I feel so deeply for their sorrow that I don't know.

On my first watch-through of DS9 I rewatched this episode with my dad.

Now he’s been gone for nearly 9 years and it hits he like a train every time I watch it.

Yall, The Visitor… The Visitor..Yall…. Yall.

Also, The Visitor (season 4, episode 2) is, in my opinion, one of the best episodes of television of all time. I never thought I'd be so moved by a father-son focused episode, but this piece of media just tore me up. Their relationship is so wonderful to watch.

I love love LOVE how beautiful Ben Sisko's relationship with Jake is. As an avid Sci-Fi watcher, I've observed how daddy issues are used left and right to justify someone's life trajectory. Nothing wrong with that but it does happen quite often. Seeing Ben being the best possible father to his son, taking him on silly lil adventures, making delicious dinners to continue a tradition, encouraging him yet keeping him in line, YOUR HONOR I LOVE THEM.

in the middle of reading nana visitor’s book on women in star trek and i’m in shambles . i’m in shambles

she details in chronological order the women casted in star trek, their individual experiences and hardships as well as their marks left on audiences

the section detailing her own experiences as kira as well as an actress had me very emotional,,, i never knew the amount of things she endured + the infinite love she has for her character really adds context for her incredible performance in ds9

[lonelymoonrambles]

I just started watching season 4 of ds9 and I've heard a lot about worf's arrival, and the "Our Man Bashir" episode.. But but

How come no one told me about The Visitor??? How come no one prepared me for the emotional turmoil of this episode?!!!?? Like I've just been sobbing actual big fat tears y'all

And Ben Sisko just watching his son as an old man with so much love 😭

Jake spending his life looking for a way to bring him back, and then giving the rest of his life to give his father (and himself) a second chance - and Sisko just has to live with that!? Like does he remember all those visits with Jake????

Like the bond between them is so fuckin pure

BRB gonna just cry all night about a star trek episode again wtf

😭😭😭😭😭
