• Emissary is one of my favorite looks at grief.

• Not gonna lie, not liking this format. I’d rather you have waited and give this episode the respect and your usual high production values it deserves.

• I kind of hate that I was 9 when this premiered. I had watched TNG from the beginning with my dad, though I was way too young to understand it. I grew up with those characters. Then my parents got divorced, and watching TNG was like a little bit of calm during that time. DS9 started, and I didnt care about these characters, I didnt understand their motivations, they were angry at each other, and that was not what I needed in my life at that time. So I ignored it.

  I had friends who were very into it, and they kept telling me that it got really good. They gave me cryptic hints about a Dominion War, but they also said it was an ongoing story, so I felt I couldn't start in the middle. I truly felt I had missed out. So when Voyager started, I vowed I wouldn't miss out again, so I watched Voyager, on my own, every episode. I recognize its flaws, but Voyager is MY Star Trek.

  Then, lets say, sailing the seas of the internet allowed me to watch DS9 from the beginning. And it was great. It is probably the best series, despite the places Voyager and TNG hold in my heart. Trying to choose my favorite from among those three shows is like asking me to pick my favorite child. I'm just happy I got to see all of them.

• 605

• I agree, it is an excellent pilot and really sets up the show very well.

• My boyfriend and I are watching season 7 of TNG (I'm rewatching) and after the movies we'll get to DS9. I'm so excited to show him!

• "was a gourmet chef"… As in retired?

• Rewatching it move along home was more of a team character building episode how they will work together

• Wolf 359 is a red dwarf  star located in the constellation Leo.
  It was ages before I learned it was a real place.

• I didn't know not changing the image of angry Sisco for an hour would bother me so much.

• Funny when I was younger I didn't care for DS9 but when I became older and watched the show from start to finish it's become my favorite. Really kool how it has both stand alone episodes and counting story. Absolutely loved the pilot. To see in real time the perspective of Star Fleet not the Enterprise for when Picard was with the Borg. To have Sisko directly and majorly affected by him makes that story even better. And I've always loved Sisko's and Jack's relationship as father and son. Avery did an amazing job at making that feel real.

• Up its captain picard.
  Down sisko was a complete ass to captain picard.
  2nd down picard was also a complete ass to sisko.

  3rd down kira is a complete ass towards quark. Also odo has no chill.

• Where is the immediate down for we're going into a massive fleet battle… why are there any civilians aboard the Saratoga or any ship? They couldn't drop them off at a nearby colony or starbase????

• This deserved the full production treatment.

• Jake was Wesley done correctly, no disrespect to wil Wheaton

• Down for having civilians on the ship when they knew the were heading into a fight.

• I do hope we'll get a Temporal Observations addendum to this episode.

• Sorry I missed this live… darn linear time. I remember as the premiere of DS9 approached, I went from anticipation to doubt, but when I saw “Emissary” on that night in 1993, I knew this would become my favorite Trek.

• It just occurred to me that what made Star Trek so good during the late 80s and into the 90s is that it wasn’t filled with all the underlying BS that is being forced into Star Trek nowadays. It wasn’t filled with obvious and blatant political nonsense of the time we are living in right now. Also, unlike discovery, we were not being slapped in the face by overt characters with their chosen sexuality. I can barely stomach watching discovery with what they have turned Star Trek into. I get it you guys can’t and won’t ever comment on this type of thing because you have a channel and you don’t wanna get demonetized and you don’t wanna turn fans off, but it’s the truth. Too many shows nowadays do this and it’s a shame Star Trek has become one of them.

• My theory about Sisko's dad is that before Past Tense his father had passed. Due to a small about of the ole wibbly wobbly caused by sisko interfering with the timeline just enough little things were different that hos father hadn't passed yet and sisko just decided not to tell temporal ops about it.

• Is there gonna be a "full production redress" version of this U&D? With graphics and editing and stuff?
  PLEASE!!!!

  Also… Can we get some more videos featuring GARAK? Lore, canon, backstory, Easter eggs…..etc.
  I feel like he would make a list of the "top X (10-25) BEST WRITTEN (sub) Characters across ALL of Trek"
