It seems to me that whenever you see a list of DS9's best and worst eps, you always see the same names. "Whispers," "The Visitor," "Sacrifice of Angels," "Tears of the Prophets," "In the Pale Moonlight;" "Move Along Home," "Meridian," "Who Mourns for Morn," all the usual suspects.
Today I was watching "Visionary," a third-season episode. And I really enjoyed it! So I thought I'd ask if there are any other favourites out there that don't usually come to mind. Did you like "The Muse?" Then say so. Do you wonder why "Tribunal" isn't up there with "Meridian" in the hall of infamy? Then say so too.

"Visionary" was my first experience with a DS9 I actually liked, to be honest (although it was only my third or something, but still...).

I don't know if it qualifies as unsung, but it wasn't on your list. So I'll say "Duet". And I also rather liked the Circle trilogy, what I saw of it anyway. I think I missed the middle part.

Didn't like "The Muse," did like "Tribunal." And "Dogs of War" was great because for once they didn't care about the budget, with the transporter running in the background, extras saying "excuse me" as they walk by, and so on.

I also liked the Cardie Rommie attack of the Dominion duo (or trio). I thought it was well thought out and revealed some interesting info. Also Sisko's "Not as singed as THEY're going to get. ENGAGE!" battle. Kick a$$!

Indeed, that was the first episode that featured a full scale battle in Trek (and it looked awesome, too). I also reckon Garak's interrogation of Odo is one of the most memorable moments in DS9 history.

"Sacrifice of Angels" is one of my favorite DS9 episodes. Love the battle scenes in it.

Exactly. Another one that should be mentioned is "Favour the Bold," which often gets written off as just a prologue to "SofA." There's some good stuff in there, though. . .

"Favour the Bold" is much better than "Sacrifice of Angels", IMO.
Another favourite of mine from DS9 that hardly ever gets any credit: "The Darkness and the Light".

I really liked "Defiant", 'cuz it was a good Defiant ep, and 'cuz Tom Riker's kewl! He just don't seem to give a damn about anything! (except his brother )
I also liked "Captive pursuit" with Tosk, and "When the shit hits the fan". No, wait, they scrapped that. Doesn't matter how many scripts I send them, they just keep coming back all torn and wrinkled. Bloody Ingrate's!

I liked the two parter where Sisko, Bashir and Dax went to the Sanctuary Districts in Earth's past. I can't believe i can't remember the name of the eps.
Anyway, classic Trek! It gave us a commentary on social problems with out bashing us over the head with it. By showing us what our future could be, it gave a warning. Contrast this with "Far Beyond the Stars" where all we got was a "look how terrible we used to be even though it has nothing to do with Trek and we can't do anything to change it" thing. Not only that, but it called into question the very reality of the story we've been listening to all these years.
