I agree. Such an emotional episode and Sisko’s heartbreak in that last scene. Man, I tear up just thinking of it. Such magnificent acting too. The love on Sisko’s face gets me every time.

It’s a massive credit to Avery Brooks that the best Star Trek episodes of all time are all Sisko episodes. The others obviously being In The Pale Moonlight and Far Beyond the Stars.

I agree. Avery Brooks is stellar in the series and one of my favourites of all trek. I really hate that there never was a movie showing if Sisko ever got back from the prophets and what happened to Jake and Cassidy and their unborn child.

It was told beautifully in the season 8 books, but I would have loved to have seen it!

As for episodes Avery is stellar in, I would count Past Tense as well. It’s such an underrated duology and Avery is truly magnificent in it.
