Comment on What are the best single episodes to show people new to Trek?

  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!

  that one can backfire as its too good and can set the wrong expedition.
