The MOST Disliked Episode of DS9 - Season Three...

Facets. It was fun to "meet" Dax's previous hosts.

THE SEARCH, PART II
MERIDIAN
LIFE SUPPORT
PROPHET MOTIVE
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
SHAKAAR

 

Damn, there's four of these I really like and want to save. What a good season this was.

I'll go with "Shakaar." Everything after this with Shakaar was a dud, but this was a strong intro. It's a great Bajor episode and the scenes with Winn are phenomenal.

THE SEARCH, PART II
MERIDIAN
LIFE SUPPORT
PROPHET MOTIVE
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

 

Season 3 is far stronger than most want to recognize.

 

The Search, Part II. Not as good as the first part, but still a solid outing nonetheless.

MERIDIAN
LIFE SUPPORT
PROPHET MOTIVE
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

 

"LIFE SUPPORT" is not in danger anymore. Despite the odd shift in tone between the two stories, which as I got older I understand why it was done (the episode would be FAR more depressing if not for the Jake/Nog story), this was a strong episode. Great performances by everyone, and I was glad to see Bashir actually draw a line when it came to doing even more to Bareil. And Kira summed up Winn's motives with her last scene, "Sure. You got your peace treaty. You don't need him anymore!" Loved it.

MERIDIAN
PROPHET MOTIVE
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

 

I am going to save "Through The Looking Glass." I was so excited when I heard they were picking up the "Crossover" thread and going back to the MU. The MU on DS9 has a bad rap, but I love the first three trips there, they were able to use this device to have a lot of fun and tell compelling stories about our characters.

It's only after that that the DS9 MU went so, so wrong...

MERIDIAN
PROPHET MOTIVE

 

Prophet Motive is saved. Sorry, but the other episode is abysmal, even for the funny B-Story.

Meridian.

 

"MERIDIAN" is the 'winner' of season three.

Funny enough, I have a list of all the winners in a pad, and I write them down after a season is done. "MERIDIAN" was the only one so far that I wrote down as the winner when I first posted this thread.

Thank you all for voting. I will be starting season 4 shortly.
