Err, lemme think...

I've never done a list before. Hard Time would be in my top 5. I think Nor the Battle to the Strong would be in there too.

I'd have to think about it, as I say.

My list varies slightly depending upon my mood and if I've watched any DS9 in recent weeks...but the top few episodes always remain the same.

1. In the Pale Moonlight
2. Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast
3. The Visitor
4. Doctor Bashir, I Presume?
5. Favor the Bold/Sacrifice of Angels
6. What You Leave Behind
7. The Siege of AR-558
8. For the Uniform
9. In Purgatory's Shadow/By Inferno's Light
10.The Wire

After that, it gets a bit more fluid as to placing in the list...but here are the rest, in no particular order -

It's Only a Paper Moon
The Changing Face of Evil
Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges
Inquisition
Treachery, Faith and the Great River
Duet
Rocks and Shoals
The Adversary
Little Green Men
In The Cards

Yes...I have noticed that you are a big fan of Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast also (among other points of agreement)

I am a HUGE fan of this 2-parter, and don't understand why it doesn't make some people's lists.

This 2-parter has everything. Intrigue, several cool plot twists, a Big Space Battle (complete with that fly-thru of Jem'Hadar vessel!) and all sorts of Garak/Tain stuff, which is always all kinds of awesome!

You really can't ask for more from a a DS9 episode than this!

IMO, the best two-part episode in Trek.

 

[flemm]

I can't even begin to put these in order of preference, so in chronological order:

Necessary Evil
Destiny
Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast
The Way of the Warrior
Homefront/Paradise Lost
In Purgatory's Shadow/By Inferno's Light
Ties of Blood and Water
Children of Time
Call to Arms
Rocks and Shoals
Favor the Bold
Sacrifice of Angels
In the Pale Moonlight
Treachery, Faith and the Great River
The Siege of AR-558
Chimera
Tacking Into the Wind

I forgot one in season 3.
