Once again, if the best episode of the season isn't being considered then this one isn't worthy of being here either.

The Jem'Hadar. Could been more epic to properly introduce the Dominion and we should have seen Eris again.

Agreed. Another penalty for "The Jem'Hadar".

 

[Tiberius]

The Jem'Hadar. Could been more epic to properly introduce the Dominion and we should have seen Eris again.

IIRC, they wanted to, but the next time they wanted to show a Vorta the actress wasn't available.

I'm putting in my vote to get rid of NE. Just seems a bit slow to me.

Necessary Evil is one of my all-time DS9 favorites.

The Jem'Hadar. It's a good episode, but I prefer the other episodes here.

One for "In Purgatory's Shadow" because it's not "In the Pale Moonlight." Too many great episodes.

Another one for Favor the Bold, for the same reasons I voted above: mostly all set-up, not much payoff yet.

Another for The Jem'Hadar. Even if they wanted to use Eris and the actress wasn't available, the introduction of the Dominion could have been more epic.

9. Necessary Evil

Eliminating Necessary Evil, because, if you allow me the pun, I find it the least necessary watch of all these.

9. Necessary Evil

Out of the three I could choose (to end this thing), I'll go for The Jem'Hadar, because it's up against one of the best episodes in Necessary Evil, and the first part of the epic 2-parter concluding the even more epic Occupation Arc.

ETA: Or I was ninjad and didn't get to save NE in time. Never mind, I'll add a point to the Jem'Hadar anyway.

The Jem'Hadar, as I said it's the least impressive out of the remaining episodes.

That's 2 votes for "The Jem'Hadar" plus my own, so it's gone. A good episode, simply not good enough. As said I feel the introduction of the Dominion could have been more epic.

I'll vote for "The Visitor." It's a good episode, of course, but lacks the epic weight of all the others here.

I'd have to say "Favor The Bold". A good ep...but all the others are better.

Favor the Bold. If the Visitor goes out this early I may start throwing things at my monitor.
