Slow and Boring., 26 February 2008
3/10
Author: MissErudite from United States

I was always surprised by the number of Star Trek fans who liked this episode. When I asked them why they liked it, they told me that they liked it because it was very sad and touching.

I found "The Visitor" to be neither. Instead, I thought it was slow and boring.

However, "The Visitor" isn't an action-packed episode. It is about Jake's love for his father and how far Jake would go for him. I, myself, am a fan of action packed (and sometimes, a little romantic) Star Trek, not dramatic Star Trek.

So, overall, what I am saying is that it really depends on what kind of episodes you like - action, drama, romance, etc.
