Sorry about the delay, guys.

Something a little different for the final round. To proceed as normal, it would be over very quickly indeed, so here we have the losers and runners up of each season:

Season One: The Passenger
Wild Card: Q-Less
Season Two: Sanctuary
Wild Card: Rules of Acquisition
Season Three: Meridian
Wild Card: Family Business
Season Four: The Muse
Wild Card: Sons of Mogh
Season Five: Ferengi Love Songs
Wild Card: A Simple Investigation
Season Six: Profit and Lace
Wild Card: Honor Among Thieves
Season Seven: The Emperor's New Cloak
Wild Card: Penumbra

*RULES*

Give what you consider to be the best/your preferred episode ONE point, and briefly explain WHY. Be sure to copy and paste the list with your point added. When an episode reaches 4 points, it is eliminated (or saved in this case!) Then a NEW round begins (in this thread) with the numbers restored to 0. Vote ONCE per round. And enjoy!

I'm giving a point to The Muse. I would have saved it in the initial round, but I didn't get back to the thread in time. I like it because it's a good character development episode for both Jake and Odo, and because I find Lwaxana Troi to be a sympathetic character on DS9. (I think she's annoying as all get out on TNG, though.)

I voted for "Penumbra". The only "Final Chapter" episode that should be here is "Extreme Measures".

I haven't been following this at all, so I am pretty surprised to see "Sons of Mogh" and "Honor Among Thieves" on there. "Sons of Mogh" is a pretty good episode. "Honor Among Thieves" is average, but not one of the worst.

I'm sickened that Penumbra made it this far. Sickened!

It's in a different league compared to the rest, even if it's all setup.

It was a weird round, with people saving the episodes they thought others would go after, and somehow Penumbra got lost in the mix. It's saved now.

Q-Less is a great episode--some funny moments, I love the Space Station in jeopardy by moving angle, and some nice TNG references to boot. Q's interactions with the DS9 crew were awesome and showed potential for future episodes. Sad he never appeared on the series again.

Saving Sons of Mogh. The only problem with that episode is that they killed off Kurn (And that Worf was being an absolute retard. Why not kill him? They erased his memories, changed his appearance... He's basically dead. May as well allow him to die honorably.).

As do I. Not one of my favourites (it's a bit slow), but certainly better than the rest of the list.

What rahullak said, only about A Simple Investigation. It's also a great character piece for Odo.

"Rules of Acquisition" for no particular reason, except that it's the best Ferengi episode on the list.

A Simple Investigation. What Admiral Shran said.
