"Visionary" is the 63rd episode of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the seventeenth episode of the third season.
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures on Deep Space Nine, a Starfleet-run space station adjacent to a wormhole leading to the distant Gamma Quadrant of the galaxy; the Gamma Quadrant is home to a powerful empire known as the Dominion. In this episode, Deep Space Nine's operations chief Miles O'Brien begins having visions of the future after an accident, while a delegation from the Romulan Empire visits the station.
When "Visionary" was broadcast in 1995, it achieved ratings of 7.9 and third spot in its time slot.[1] This was in line with much of the ratings for Season 3 which varied between about six and nine Nielsen points over the course of its run (from October 1994 to July 1995).[1] This was a popular time for the franchise, with Star Trek Generations hitting theaters in November 1994, and Star Trek: Voyager coming out in January 1995.
