I enjoyed a couple of seasons of Ben Sisko's heavily-implied-to-be-dead dad.
How's that?
It's all in past tense until he shows up in the flesh.
"Emissary": How about letting me cook dinner for you tonight? My father was a gourmet chef. I will make for you his famous aubergine stew.
"A Man Alone": Every night in my house, my dad insisted that we have supper together as a family. He would try out his new recipes on us. He used to call us his test tasters.
"The Alternate": When my father became ill, I can remember how small and weak he looked lying there in the bed. He'd been so strong, so independent. It always seemed to me there was nothing that he couldn't do. But in the end, I realised that there was nothing that he could do, and nothing I could do to help him.
"Paradise": Well, my father was a chef. He grew all his own vegetables. My brothers and I were sent out to the gardens every day.
I think he refers to the first season of DS9 where it was never explicitly mentioned that Joseph Sisko is well and alive (but neither was the opposite). He first appeared in season 4. He just doesn't exist before that.
I never even thought about that.
He was alive and well running a successful restaurant back on Earth on Ben is out on some backwater post talking about him like he's dead.
