The Most Disliked Episode of DS9, Season 4 - 2025 Edition...

[Frightscape One]

Saving "THE SWORD OF KAHLESS".

I love this. Great adventure, and having Kor around is ALWAYS a win.

Stroke of genius to make the sword have NO mystical or technobabble properties that make Kor and Worf act how they do. It's just a religious icon, and we have a whole history of how religious icons get twisted for the worse of humanity.

Great story and message.


"HIPPOCRATIC OATH"
"CROSSFIRE"
"ACCESSION"
"RULES OF ENGAGEMENT"
"FOR THE CAUSE"

 

[Qonfounding Ghooool]

In one word:

"FOR THE CAUSE"

The word is "Eddington".

What's left:
"HIPPOCRATIC OATH"
"CROSSFIRE"
"ACCESSION"
"RULES OF ENGAGEMENT"

 

[Severed Heads]

Accession is an excellent way of making Sisko accept his role as the Emissary quicker.

HIPPOCRATIC OATH"
"CROSSFIRE"
"RULES OF ENGAGEMENT"

 

[Frightscape One]

My final vote for the season... all 3 are very, very good episodes.

But I have to save "RULES OF ENGAGEMENT" because of the unique way the witnesses were giving their testimony and, more importantly, Sisko's leadership lessons at the end.


"HIPPOCRATIC OATH"
"CROSSFIRE"

 

[Qonfounding Ghooool]

The more decent story is

"CROSSFIRE"

Never cared for delving to the Sontarans Jem Ha'Dar and their liquid cocaine habit or whatever it is, it's cod drama. Not that I'm opinionated or anything...


"HIPPOCRATIC OATH" wins

 

[Frightscape One]

And "HIPPOCRATIC OATH" wins season 4.

This might be a record for going through a season... 4 hours 12 minutes. (Even with the short seasons of the current era, I don't think they move that quickly.) This season is just excellent!

Thank you all for playing! I will begin season 5 shortly.

Hope to see you all there!
