Which episode of Voyager would you recommend to a DS9 fan?

I think it was just a matter of time, he just didn't get to them yet. Had Voyager not found them I have no doubt he would have killed all but one
That's too bad. It's one of the better ones. No thanks to Harry Kim though.
but his part is actually not very important in it
True, but he doesn't play it very well. I am among those who think that they should have kept Kes and lost him.
if I had to choose between the two I would keep Kim, but I really don't like Kes
Well as the Romans used to say: De Gustibus Non Disputandum.*
*We must not argue about tastes.
Much like comedy and laughter, fear and intimidation works better on a group.
True, but the Clown didn't seem like he was driven by reason.
I don't know. He seemed to understand how fear works pretty well. And he had a pretty decent sense of what might increase and decrease the chances of his own survival.
Well, maximizing his chances for survival would have meant keeping everyone alive. You never know who's gonna live the longest, yet when Voyager found him, he had already killed two people. If he really knew how fear works he would have scared those two into cooperation instead of killing them. Also he was quick to wanting to kill Kim who just got there and was prevented only by one of the guys remark.
To get somebody interested in Voyager who likes DS9, "Caretaker" is the way to go. I'd then follow that up with the Borg episodes and In the Flesh.
Shrinking the group isn't as dangerous as outright eliminating it.
But immediately executing people that just appeared on the program is. Just as it was pointed out to him, right when he was about to kill Kim.
But that clown was the personification of fear. Is fear smart or rational? No.
I don't know. Sometimes fear makes people surpass themselves. I guess that depends essentially on the people.
That was the very first episode that sprung to mind - so completely agree. Only downside is that the 'alternate' Voyager crew would fail, as the person wouldn't know what they are normally like.
The Thaw, perhaps, but a depends whether you want a good episode or a 'get them into Voyager' episode. It's not necessarily the latter.
Year of Hell is a good choice, as someone mentioned - although the reset button may frustrate.
Perhaps episodes like Basics.
You may want to avoid Threshold as it may test the threshold of your tolerance for bullshit though.
Like, allergic to water!! Wtf!

Funny story...I just started dating someone who likes DS9 and has never seen Voyager and durring conversation the plot of Threshold came up. He didn't believe that the lizard thing was an actual episode and insisted on watching it. Well after we watched it, he then wanted to go back and watch the whole show. So Threshold did get a DS9 fan to want to watch Voyager!
