DS9's The Visitor

 

[A reply to a tweet I saw about the DS9's The Visitor, which included Tony Todd, who played elder Jake Sisko in this story.]

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.

The Deeper Exploration

 So I've been going about archiving what I can using the wayback machine of my early internet life.  I've created new blogs for other blog sites that are no longer with us like tblog and greatestjournal and bolt.  I've also screenshot and created hard files of some of this. 

I'm amazed at both how much I've changed and how much I've stayed the same. It's what happens when you get older, I guess. 

So this blog will host the older entries of of the tblog.com which was entitled Deeper Exploration.  As near as I can remember, it was my place for some serious inner exploration.  Less dark than the tumblr and livedoor but definitely full of angst, but it's interesting that there are only a few entries. 

So I'll post them here and continue shaping the journal thus.  Meaning that I'll probably post angsty stuff but not too angsty.
