On paper, this story should be rubbish.

On screen, it's quite superb, although perhaps takes a bit too long to get going. Tony Todd (at least, I think it's he) gives a superb performance, as does Cirroc Lofton.

Theo nly other thought that comes to mind is that it's nice to know that in the 24/25th century, there will always be obsessive fans. I'm surprised Jake didn't send whatshername away out of pure fear that she would wait to take a bit of his corpse after he croaked it :)

Okay, call me a sentimental sap but I always get a lump in my throat when I watch this one :blush:

Another Trek time travel story with the time travel being a plot device rather than central to the plot ala B5, but a good story with yet another great guest performance :)

Really well scripted and despite the obvious difference in appearance I never have any problems accepting the older Jake Sisko. Avery Brooks gets to expand on his usual performance in this one, and does so well imo :thumbsup:

Fairly standard Trek ending with it all being okay at the end but tbh it was never going to be any different and didn't detract from the ep really.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

I don't want to write anymore about this one, it'll only reduce me to a wreck again and I'm surrounded by electrical equipment - not a good combination :lol:

F*cking marvellous :thumbsup:

Hats off to Tony Todd, Cirroc Lofton and Avery Brooks for this one, they acted their socks off, and of course major credit goes to the writers :thumbsup: Take note Voyager scribes, this is exactly the level of writing we expect on Star Trek!

Completely agree :thumbsup: :thumbsup:


<<Blows raspberry at Steve>>

Joking aside this really is a classy episode and one of the best of it's type, from a Trek point of view anyway :)
