Recommend the Abridged Dominion War viewing list

[BobtheGunslinge]

Hello, everyone! Please recommend the episodes you think are the most crucial to the Dominion War, or just the absolute best of DS9.

I would love to catch up on this series--I only caught half of it on TV back in the day--but I just don't have time. I might be able to fit in 3 or 4 episodes a week, yet I would love to view the Dominion War arc and prepare myself for the post-Nemesis novels as quickly and efficiently as possible. So, what episodes do you recommend for me?

Thank you for any suggestions.

That is a good list. To me DS9 is the one series to watch without skipping episodes.

With a few notable clunkers, including most Ferengi episodes, I'd agree!

Thanks, guys. Someday, I will give it a proper watch through. But for now the abridged version will have to do.

Including every Mirror Universe episode done on DS9. The only one tolerable was Crossover.

My recommended abridged viewing: skip TNG.
