The only Tony Todd episode I occasionally skip is "The Visitor" but not because it's bad. Just "too soon" from a losing my own father perspective.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Totally understandable and hopefully it'll get easier over time. It's a hard watch regardless. Really knows how to pull at the heartstrings.
"The Visitor" is up there with "Jurassic Bark" on the ugly crying scale.
That music immediately rang in my head.
I was at a convention (Dragon"Con 93 I think, it was right after Chris Reeve had his accident). Heard the Voice of God asking if I wanted to sign a big ass card for Reeve. It was Mr Todd. Scared the hell out of me. But, seriously, he was the nicest, kindest actor I've ever met. A true legend
A buddy of mine lived in the same apartment building as him for a few years. Every time I saw him, he was friendly and polite.
All you need to do to summon a Tony Todd episode is to say his name five times in front of a mirror.
He owned that role. Still haven't watched the reboot for fear of disappointment.
It’s good, you should check it out. DeCosta’s treatment of his and Peele’s screenplay is top notch.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Did he still have that bee sting rider for his time on Star Trek?
