The Most Disliked Episode of DS9 - Final Round...

My vote this round goes to "PROPHET MOTIVE". A solid Ferengi episode, and a nice Bashir B plot.

Voting Time’s Orphan, because it’s the only episode left not on my skip list.

Definitely Meridian. Dax falling in love in a second was stupid, but Meridian contained the funniest scene in the whole series, when that guy walks into the holodeck expecting to see and have sex with a Kira hologram and instead sees Quark’s head atop of Kira’s body.
 
I'll update the list for you. I'll vote for Time's Orphan again. Same reasons as before.

Prophet Motive, for the same reasons I gave last time. Which takes it out of the running and resets.

"Second Sight" I don't like the back half, but I do like the first half. I always liked anything that was late-night on the Promenade, that was a great atmosphere, and the first half is all that.

Another vote for Time’s Orphan. That and Chrystalis are the only ones left I actually watch.

"SECOND SIGHT" for me this round. The late night Promenade views were great, and a rare treat. And while the execution may be sonewhat off, the idea of the episode was a good one.

Plus we got some good new shots of the Nebula class.

Time's Orphan; it would probably have made for a better TNG episode, but it's not really that bad at all, just not very memorable.

I guess I'll throw one to Time's Orphan, a classic torture O'Brien episode of which they were so fond. When you're down to the dregs, you can't be too picky.

I'll eliminate Time's Orphan with my vote, as I find it more average then anything else. It's a decent enough O'Brien vehicle, and I love the little Worf B-plot.

Chrysalis; it's bland, and probably an unnecessary sequel, but not as actively bad as the others here.

I'll vote for Chrysalis as well. I like the Doe Rae Me song they sing, and it's nice to see the Jack-pack again. The trouble for me is the lifeless romance between Bashir and Sarina, which Bashir shouldn't have entered at all.

I vote Chrystalis. I sometimes skip it but not always. Its only major problem is making Bashir look like an unprofessional creep. But it has some fun scenes.

The rest of the episodes left I think I skipped the last three times through.

Chrysalis. Of the ones left, it's the only one I can actually sit through, although I agree about Bashir coming across as a creep. Chrysalis is removed, and here's the reset.

I can vote for Second Sight, as the least bad episode left. Richard Kiley plays an interesting role as Seyetik, though nothing else is memorable for me here.
