Are you people NUTS!?! NO one has mentioned - one of the BEST episodes of DS9 ever... "The Quickening" - I'm afraid to watch it again - Incase I spoil it for myself - thats how high in reguard I hold this episode... that final shot... Bashir... the crowd... the baby... *choke*
Season 2 has to be the most underhyped and underappreciated of any season...
just go watch the Trilogy - but start with In the Hands of the Prophets... and watch Cardassians (watch it a few times - and you'll finally get it.) Melora is great too... not to mention Whispers, Armageddon Game, The Collaborator, Shakaar, Blood Oath, The Jem'Hadar, Tribunal, the one with Dr. Mora Pol and The Wire...

"Far Beyond the Stars" is highly overrated, IMO. It's a delicate topic that I think Behr and Beimler didn't quite grasp.

"Crossfire" is another one of my favourites. The bit where Odo smashes up his quarters is most memorable. The following scene with Quark is the icing on the cake.

Sol: Yes, but I don't think it needs to be given the title of "DS9's Best Episode Ever," either...
Er, Lee... Is that joke, or...?

I like the Maquis story arc in DS9 starting with "The Maquis" parts one and two and ending with Eddington's death. I thought the whole thing was done well considering Sisko's personal involvemnets with members of the Maquis and the closeness of his command to the Maquis actions.

Why should it be a joke? We're discussing episodes that don't often get a good press. If you just want to rhapsodise about how good "SofA" was because it had loads of battles, find another thread. Otherwise, get with the program!

Lee: I just thought you said before that you hated "Melora"... And I have no intentions of glorifying "SoA".

OK. But I DO like Melora. It's got the bird from the Dr. Who movie, and I think the zero-G sequence is cool.

I haven't seen the previous posts in this thread, and the following episodes have probably already been mentioned, but here's some of my 'unsung' favourites.
Captive Pursuit Duet Paradise The Way of the Warrior The Visitor Past Tense Jem'Hadar The Quickening Armageddon Game
(I just looked at the whole thread and saw that most of the above have already been mentioned. I suppose they're not unsung any more.)

Woah, Sindiccychops, no need to duck there as the point goes over your head! "The Visitor," "WotW" and "The JH" are all eps that are considered classics, not unsung episodes. . . 8)
OK, here's another challenge: the best Ferengi episode. Considering averyone hates them, it must be possible to come up with one that's really good. I'd go for "Family Business" (which I saw again today; introduces Brunt, Moogie, and sets up a lot of the stuff that came after) or "The Magnificent Ferengi" (mainly for a non-Ferengi in it - IGGY POP!!! The coolest bit of guest casting in 35 years of Trek).

I'd say "Little Green Men". If anyone says "Profit and Lace", I'll do something abd to them.

seriously - you Americans just DIDN'T GET IT!!!!!! seriously... you really didn't get the joke... It was one of the funniest hours on Trek EVER!
Maybe Behr is English or something... it was so bloody funny... and the whole point of the humour wasn't just the 'Quark in Drag'...
Everyone I've talked to here - in Australia can't understand why all you Americans hate it...
Sluggo COLA! lol!
