Sisko’s Father

[AntonyF]

Sisko says something of this nature also when he’s being forced into farming (episode Paradise) I can’t recall his exact words, but he says something like “his dad IS a chef” … me personally , I like to adopt into any scenarios that can possibly deny any canon misfires

He uses past tense in the episode.

Yes! And I feel so much better now cuz of realizing that the wormhole aliens could have manipulated anything… I wrote more about this in a response on this thread. If his mother was one of them, anything was possible

Well, you wrote that "canon misfir[ing]" is a problem. Perhaps you can explain how: what is lost vs what is gained?

From my perspective, Homecoming creates a small amount of confusion with dialogue primarily for those who rewatch the series. What was meant by using the simple past?

Conversely, a great actor was brought into the extended cast, an important aspect of the series--the meaning of family--was expanded upon, and the characters were better rooted to their home on Earth.

Garak would definitely call that a bargain.

And~ by that statement alone, one knows that you are oh so very well versed in the entire canon of the Star Trek universe don’t wander away I’ve got so many questions of things that are canon, but I’m still lost

My username alone should be a pretty big reminder of the "Star Trek" writers' shortcomings.

Sorry, haven’t had 2seconds to be here and read but just had to take a very fast second to explain something I’m realizing right now… apparently everybody is correct, in that Sisko’s father did actually die, he speaks about how all his organs have been replaced; including his heart. So when Sisko says: “in the end”, it really was the end as he assumed it to be at that time. I’m sure if there’d have been time, they’d have done a kickback episode showing how he was brought back from his illness that did lead to his initial death. He just was fortunate to be living in that future time where pretty much all body parts can be replaced…. I’ll be back to read asap. (He’s making me angry right now refusing the blood screening, he knows his son has an important position and must follow Starfleet rules ) I’m procrastinating I don’t want to go back to work

omg! Not only have you pointed out possible happenings, but!!! You’ve hit onto something I hadn’t even considered the worm hole aliens (prophets) have NO structured linear paradigm, so since his father was married to Sisko’s worm hole mother ( that just sounds wrong ) couldn’t they have just manipulated him to be back into THAT time construct? Cuz I’m still confused with first episode and they act like they are 100% JUST finding out about Sisko and linear time frames, yet~ later on we find out they knew his mother and manipulated him into his eventual role as ( yikes! Can’t remember Sisko’s title) what he became. So, with this, we’d have to assume that they initially learned about everything from Sisko, then traveled back in time to make sure his mother had him. Bootstrap temporal mechanics makes eyeball swirls

The prophets were lying to a baby prophet, like we lie to our children (eat your veges, Santa Claus, etc) to cultivate and nurture their upbringing.

It's also possible that the Prophet Sisko was talking to in the Pilot was Sisko.

It's also possible that Sisko's mother was Sisko.

Jesus was his own father.

Lister was his own father.

Fry was his own Grandfather.

It's not unprecedented.
