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?

    It’s been a while since I’ve seen that. Could it be too difficult for someone with 0 trek knowledge to get?

      I think the important bits are easy to pickup in context. There is a war and it’s not going well. Sisko is trying to bring a powerful neutral party into the war and is willing to do very questionable things to do it.

      As a Star Trek fan I had given up on DS9 during the original airing of the first season. Latter I caught Pale Moonlight by chance and it impressed me enough to watch some more. Then I went back and watched all the earlier stuff. Now it’s my favorite Star Trek.

      When I first saw it I knew Star Trek quit well but had no idea what was going on in DS9 and had no trouble following the story.
