DS9's The Visitor

For me it spoke to the loss of my mother which happened a few months before this aired. I was a little older than Jake and my mother and I were very close. I remember feeling that pain so deeply that I would've done what Jake did if I could bring her back.
Sometimes I can watch it and sometimes it's hard watch it but not because of the acting or the story, which should've won Emmys tenfold. I always recommend this episode as one of the essential DS9 episodes b/c it encapsulates everything that DS9 is about.
