- Comment on What are the best single episodes to show people new to Trek? 1 week ago:
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!

I use metric temperature when I talk to my kids. Now they give me a hard time when I give them a Fahrenheit value! Keeps me honest I guess. I’ve also got my oldest using a 24 hour clock.

That’s a good one, and also the first thing I thought of.
There’s also a remake that’s not bad that features Hugh Laurie using his native accent.
