Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Wrongs Darker than Death or Night (1998)
An Interesting Episode
I always liked this episode. I found it interesting how the directors and writers were able to show more of the Occupation. I had always thought that they did not really show what the Occupation was like. Sure, the characters of DS9 (especially the Bajorans) talked about it sometimes, but they didn't show it.
I once heard that the writers were originally planning to do a Kira Nerys/Dukat love episode (something about a past affair between them I believe?). However, Nana Visitor (the actress who played Kira Nerys) protested against it, saying it was against Kira's character. So, the writers used Kira Nerys's mother (Kira Meru) instead.
Bad idea. The whole Kira Meru/Dukat love story messed the time line up big time. And the writers must have been really desperate for an ending, because the ending wasn't very good (I found it to be very unbelievable).
However, I give this episode an 8/10 because I really liked how they showed more of the Occupation of Bajor.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Visitor (1995)
Slow and Boring.
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.
