The Final Poll for the top DS9 episode

To me, "In the Pale Moonlight" is a perfect representation of the morally ambiguous themes that defined DS9 and set it apart from the rest of Trek. While I gave "The Visitor" a good look, I think it was always a one episode race.
 
I voted for "The Visitor" because I just love the depiction of the father-son relationship in DS9 - and this is a perfect example of it.

But it was a close race, and I didn't vote for ItPM because I knew beforehand that it would win. *g* Actually, I didn't really like that episode all that much when I first watched it, but it grew on me, and right now I love it. Interestingly, this one poll is the one out of all 5, where the 3 candidates are actually 3 of my favourite episodes as well (contrasting ENT where none of the 6 who made it to the most current vote are anywhere near my top 6)...
 
In the pale moonlight. Shocked me first time, blew me away second time and I've loved it every other time since. Genius!
 
Well, surprise surprise, In The Pale Moonlight wins. This one is in the books now folks. :)

So far, the winners of the top episode for each series are:

TOS: Balance of Terror
TNG: Best of Both Worlds, Pt. 1
DS9: In The Pale Moonlight
VOY: Timeless
ENT: Still going until Tuesday evening, but Similitude and Twilight are getting the most votes so far.
 
All excellent episodes, but i had to go with the visitor, i love that episode and the performances are great
 
In the Pale Moonlight. I watched it again last night, and it's still a very powerful drama.

Have you ever wondered why Sisko wore a vest under his jacket? Pot belly. :D
 
The Visitor. A very powerful, emotionally charged episode that was well acted.

In the Pale Moonlight is a very close second though.
