The best episode of DS9 - Part Four

The Way of the Warrior
The Visitor
Indiscretion
Homefront
Paradise Lost
Hard Time

I'm eliminating To the Death. This episode kind of angered me because we see a pylon completely destroyed in this episode and then the next episode it was completely fine with no scratch. It kind of makes the whole complaint about Voyager being reset each episode not valid.
 
The Way of the Warrior
The Visitor
Indiscretion
Homefront
Hard Time

I'll take out Paradise Lost. I don't like how they chose to resolve this conflict because they didn't let Sisko stew long enough in the moral conundrum.
 
The Way of the Warrior
The Visitor
Homefront
Hard Time

Indiscretion, which really should have gone before To the Death and before Return to Grace, which dealt with Dukat and his relationship with Kira in a much better way than Indiscretion. Indiscretion tries to 'humanize' Dukat, but in the process it fails to adequately deal with the darker aspects of Dukat's personality and past.
 
The Way of the Warrior
The Visitor
Homefront
Hard Time

Bye to Indiscretion. Pretty solid, but not at the level of the remaining four. I'm glad I don't have to make any more decisions in this thread now. :p

Edit: alright, someone beat me to it. In that case, I abstain. ;)
 
The Way of the Warrior
The Visitor
Hard Time

Making a hard decision, I remove Homefront. It was a decent two-parter, but not up to other mid-season two-parters, and considering WOTW is too epic, and the other two, too emotional to remove, it's the natural choice.
 
The Visitor
Hard Time

Another very difficult decision, but The Way of the Warrior isn't quite of the same calibre as the remaining episodes.
 
The Visitor

'Hard Time'

Didn't care much for O'Brien puttin' a phaser to his jaw.

And that makes 'The Visitor' the winner...and didn't we all kind of suspect that's how it would turn out?
 
I dunno why the Visitor won. It was good, but the Way of the Warrior was better IMO.
 
^

It won because it was the better of the two episodes left.

Blame Pseudo for takin' the season premiere out of the runnin'.
 
^ I would have voted for "The Way of the Warrior" in his place as well. The climatic battle just gets a little too silly when the station is boarded for me to take it seriously.

Thanx Odo for killing HT, I can't stand the show

But... but Klingons... :( How could you not love this:

:klingon:

jk. I think The Visitor is a pretty good episode, but it wasn't the best of the season.

Its one of the few DS9 episodes I've only watched once & decided that was enough.

Wow...and I thought I was the only one who is not crazy for Hard Time. That episode used to be hugely popular in this forum, back in the day.

Anyway, glad The Visitor won. IMO the best of this season, easily.

It's a great episode, but the climatic battle always brings it down for me. I mean, hundreds of battle-hardened Klingon warriors beam aboard, and the Ops crew brush them off like they're nothing? It's really hard to take that seriously.
