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

LOL maybe. But I learned that if you watch Threshold and note that at the end Janeway implies that she might have initiated the mating, then go back and watch the show from the beginning, there are a lot of clues pointing to Janeway wanting to get with TomWell, maybe that's the exception that proves the rule.

And it does raise an important question: "Whatever happened to their babies?"
well I would guess that those newly hatched babies, having their parents taken away from them, probably died
That's not a very startrekky thing to do, to abandon your babies to die.
I agree.
And Harry being taken by Quark was just too fun to miss.
I'm not saying that I think Caretaker is a bad episode, but I don't think you really need it to get into Voyager. How they got to the Delta Quadrant is not really as important as the fact that they ARE in the Dela Quadrant. You could sum it up pretty easily. Starfleet vessle goes looking for a Maquis ship and they both get sucked into the DQ. Maquis ship is destroyed and they form one crew on Voyager and have to get back to the AQ. Picked up two aliens.
Chakotay was just starting to get with the program that there would be no more Maquis tricks so he decided to do his finale by making the offspring pay for Paris' AQ crimes

I had no idea that Chak was the vengeful type. This goes to show that you can never know a person completely.
The reason I think Caretaker is a good place to start with Voyager if you're a DS9 fan is that it sets up the premise of the series and its hybrid nature as a "Serialized Procedural".
Point taken.
Counterpoint is probably a good episode to introduce anybody to Voyager. Tightly written. Exciting, yet thoughtfully complex. Demonstrates why Janeway is awesome.
Like almost everybody, I hate "Threshold," but I think "Course: Oblivion" is almost equally bad, yet I know some Voyager fans like it.
"course oblivion" is one of these "it never happened" episodes, it only positive points are that they show you how different people will react if they're confronted with the annihilation of Voyager.
I don't hate Course Oblivion, but it's not my favorite. Of course I love the wedding
And I think there are some really great character moments...B'Elanna and Seven in the Jeffreys Tube discussing seven wanting to sleep around, Tom's reaction when B'Elanna dies, Harry trying to stay positive after they find out they are replacementsI don't hate Course Oblivion, but it's not my favorite. Of course I love the wedding
Janeway's obstinacy and self-delusion until it's too late to do anything about it. thinking that as replacements they'd still be welcome home as if they were the real thing...
Just look at what they did to O'Brien's clone and how indifferently they watched him die.
