The Least Disliked Episode 2025 - DS9 Final Rounds

Cutting off "IN THE HANDS OF THE PROPHETS", same reasons as before.

And voting for "SACRIFICE OF ANGELS" this round.

These are all at various levels of excellent, but I feel this one is barely less excellent than the rest.

(takes a deep breath and votes for) "Duet". This has very fine acting but the actual set-up is complete nonsense.

I feel that deep breath. But it was likely going to happen at some point, the first point to that episode. So in the end, no deep breath needed.

In fact, feel pride that you were the first to take a stab at "DUET". (Pun intended. ;))
 
I'm taking a shot at "In the Pale Moonlight" because it just didn't make sense for Sisko (shop builder, station commander, and religious icon) to be doing this.

Right Sacrifice of Angels next. Brilliant way to end the arc, it's just a shame Ziyal's death led to insane Dukat.

In The Cards was a little too clunky for me, even coming across into self-aware self-parody at one point, complete with acting that only exemplifies it like triple-sugar fudge atop a three-layer chocolate tri-saccharine cake. :barf: But that's just my three cents.

Sacrifice of Angels is out (same reasons as before).

For the next round I vote In The Pale Moonlight, I agree with odds that it doesn't make sense for Sisko to do that, a murder plot by proxy is just too much. And if the show wants me to accept that he does do that he should have at least been honest about it instead of using Garak knowing exactly what he's capable of just to fake outrage when it actually happened.

All 10s... or better.

I vote for "IMPROBABLE CAUSE". Right now, it's between that and "DUET". I vote for "IMPROBABLE CAUSE" only because "DUET" does have a message in it and is a great growth episode for Kira.

This is a ridiculous choice. So much quality.

Improbable Cause I guess.

The others are fractionally better.
