screaming, crying, throwing up glitter.

Tawny Newsome, you brilliant, wonderful human being. what a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful tribute to Benjamin Sisko.

i loved getting to see SAM determine for herself who she is and what being the emissary to her people will mean to her. i loved the Sisko storybook, the little baseball paraphernalia stand in the museum, the suit and the in-depth examination of Sisko's character and legacy. i loved SAM getting to read Anslem and the entire conversation between her and Jake. i loved Jake saying that his father didn't miss anything. that he was there, he was always there, with them through it all. i loved the cross-generational sharing of love and wisdom. i loved the theremin analogy. i loved Dax mentioning Sisko's tomatoes (and subsequently biting into one like an apple). i loved that SAM lets the mystery go in the end. i loved every bit of it.

thank you, Tawny Newsome. thank you, Cirroc Lofton.

It was 800 years ago. It was yesterday.
