My brother said that he will watch an episode of Trek with me when I visit my family in October.

I am wonder what the best single episode to show him is. He has not seen anything Trek before.

I am thinking something that is newer, but not necessarily.

Anyway, what do you think would be good?

    I agree that The Visitor is a great choice! Although depending on OP’s goal I’d argue for Duet because,

    • It’s another excellent, self-contained story
    • It keeps the story in the usual space station setting
    • You get more time with the regular cast (IIRC)
    • There is less hand-wavy scifi stuff going on

    So it might be a simpler introduction to the rest of the show.

    Those factors aside, yeah The Visitor is probably the more compelling story.

    Either way, DS9 has the best character writing, and is therefore the way to go!
