I should've known better than to
trust you again. If you were a
true Klingon, I would kill you
where you stand. Fortunately for
you, that child's uniform shields
you from your rightful fate.


WORF
What I say now, I say as a member
of the House of Martok, not as a
Starfleet officer... you have
dishonored yourself and the
Empire. You are not worthy of
leading the Council.

That was simply too awesome!

May as well chuck in a shout-out for "IT'S RREEEEEAAAL!". People dismiss Brooks' acting in that scene but I think he's amazing in it.

Brook is at his best when he hams it up like crazy, in fact I think out of all the actors Avery Brook played crazy the best.

But my favourite, and it ALWAYS brings a smile to my face, is when Kira and Odo first kiss! Magic!

A runner up would be the scene in Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges where Bashir and Ross discuss the morality of Section 31.

The scene in "What You Leave Behind" when the whole crew is in the holodeck listening to Vic sing "The Way You Look Tonight".

Odo and Kira are 2 of my favourite Star Trek characters yet I hate their mutual romance. It was a great story of unrequited love. A relationship made zero sense. Kira liked bland Bajorans and would never fall for Odo.

Never say never. Sometimes we fall for someone who is not at all "our type."

Odo's pretty close to that. Certainly rather bland, and he was sorta raised Bajoran. Doesn't seem that odd to me.

Odo and Kira FINALLY getting their kiss! That will always be my favorite moment.

Odo wasn't bland! Love his misanthropy.

I might get shot down in flames for saying this. But how come nobody has said anything about quark and odo together? "Little green men" was great. Quark getting rescued by odo and saying "my hero".
If forget the name of the episode (sorry) but shortly after odo is turned human, he and quark are in a runabout and odo is eating soup. Quark complaining about the "lip smacking"!
I remember those two providing me with many good memories of ds9.

I had to think about how to answer this and I thought about it in terms of "If I could watch one scene right now, which one would it be?"

For me it's the runabout scene between Jadzia and Worf in Change of Heart. Things never go right for Worf and it's one of the few times when he is relaxed and happy. Since he's my favorite Trek character, I liked that.

But I think the monologue at the end of ITPM is the best scene in DS9.

[TheRoyalFamily]

I don't think this is my favorite, but it's different, and I like it:

When O'Brian comes home at the end of Hard Time. That really got to me for some reason.

There are so many, but three come to mind:

3. From "In The Pale Moonlight":

SISKO: " I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But most damning thing of all, I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing. A guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant, so I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it. Computer, erase that entire personal log."

2. From "Waltz":

SISKO: "I fear no evil. From now on, it's him or me!"

1. From "Call To Arms," the moment where the Defiant and Martok's ship join the combined Federation/Klingon fleet--the first time we see a fleet of ships and an absolutely superb musical cue that sends tingles up the spine...

My favorite moment of Deep Space Nine is, interestingly enough, its last. Without uttering a single word, the final scene of “What You Leave Behind” speaks volumes. In a visual callback to “The Visitor,” we see a lonely Jake gazing out a viewport above the busy promenade. The mouth of the wormhole opens in a burst of color and light (since no ships are visibly shown entering or exiting, could it be a message from his heavenly-ascended father?). As the camera begins to slowly pull away, Kira walks up behind him and extends a comforting arm, echoing a similar scene between Benjamin and Jake in the pilot. Jake and Kira have both lost the people dearest to them, so it is fitting that they should be the last characters shown in an episode entitled “What You Leave Behind.” With Kira’s arm around Jake, they then turn to stare out to the wormhole, which represents the barrier separating them from their loved ones. When a slow, bittersweet rendition of the show’s theme song begins to play, it invokes a feeling isolation and quiet dignity. The absence of ship activity around the station seems to suggest that after seven years of excitement, adventure, and turmoil, things are beginning to wind down again for this once remote frontier outpost. Zooming further out, we get the chance to take in the majestic beauty of the station one last time. I’m not sure I fully realized just how gorgeous this Cardassian monstrosity really was until I watched it slip from my grasp into the vastness of space.
I couldn’t imagine a more perfect end to this amazing series. It’s so steeped in character background and allusions to past episodes that I can spend a considerable amount of time reflecting on this short, minute-long scene. Simply beautiful.

One moment that had a kind of impact on me was from Til Death Do Us Part. After Weyoun wakes Damar up and Damar can't look at himself in the mirror.

The thing is, it's so cliched that it really shouldn't have worked. But Damar looked so lost and vulnerable in that moment that it actually made me worried about him even though I hadn't given the character a single thought before this. I became intensely interested in what was going to happen to him. Fortunately he had a great redemption story that grew from this moment.

[Deranged Nasat]

Welcome to the boards, you two.

"Resist today, resist tomorrow.. resist until the last Dominion soldier has been driven from our soil!"

Excellent moment.
