The most disliked episode of DS9 - Part Six

[BlueStuff]

Okay Trek fans, "least disliked" has concluded, and now it's time for the opposite. The basic idea is your standard elimination game. I'll provide a list of the episodes for each season and you need to eliminate your favorite or the one you deem the 'best.' Please provide an EXPLANATION for why you are eliminating your choice and be sure to copy and paste the list with your choice removed. Finally, leave at least 2 eliminations by other posters before you play again. Pretty simple. Enjoy!

Saving In the Pale Moonlight - not exactly a shocker, but it's my favorite of DS9 and possibly all Trek.

Saving Waltz, cops a lot of flak, but I like where they took Dukat in it.

Saving Inquisition - this and In the Pale Moonlight really helped get rid of the dewy-eyed optimism of TNG. I love it for that.

Rocks and Shoals - a great Dominion war episode. One of the best for the Jem'Hadar characters. It's great that they were so fleshed out in the show, rather than being treated as mindless war machines.

Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night - I know the story is a cliché, but I always liked the dynamics between Kira and Dukat, so it's interesting to see another angle here. Also that there's more than black and white during the occupation was quite an eye opener for Kira...

The Magnificent Ferengi is safe. It's the best Ferengi episode of the series and actually funny to boot.

Saving A Time to Stand, one of my favourites from the Occupation arc. I remember when I first saw this. I saw it back to back with Rocks ans Shoals, and couldn't believe how grim things had gotten, and that it wasn't just being resolved at the end.

(EDIT - Removed The Magnificant Ferengi. Posted the same time as Admiral Shran!)

Saved His Way. I'm one of the many who actually love Vic, and what he brought to the show. Amid all the grit and craziness, Vic provides a nice breath of freash air, with some class to boot.

And of course, the banter between Kira and Odo just before the kiss is pure gold.

Saving one of my favorites from this season, "One Little Ship." It's a fun excursion with a unique plot, some really great humorous moments, and the huge isolinear chips make for an AWESOME set.

Statistical Probabilities - I figure I better save this one since I don't know if it's that popular. I really liked the Jack squad and I like the way the war was seen through another perspective. Also a good episode for Bashir.

I'll save Sacrifice of Angels. Ziyal's death was an important turning point for Dukat's character.

Saving Behind The Lines. I loved seeing Odo being swayed over to the dark side, and Sisko sitting behind a desk whilst his crew was off fighting was a great tale too.

Who Mourns for Morn; Light hearted escape from all the war episodes that I don't much care for.

I was soooo hoping that Far Beyond the Stars would still be here.

 

[Seven of Five]

Nah, that's one of DS9's best. Season six was a very strong year.

Tears of the Prophets is safe. Space battles, a really good Vic scene, and a nice scene with Ben at Jadzia's casket.
