- In The Pale Moonlight. The Dominion War arc was a fascinating means to explore how Starfleet and the Federation's peaceful outlook would hold up against an existential threat like the Founders.
- Far Beyond The Stars. Star Trek: The Original Series was often at its best when examining pertinent political issues of the 1960s through a sci-fi lens.
- The Visitor. The relationship between Sisko and his teenage son Jake (Cirroc Lofton) is the emotional core of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the episode "The Visitor" which shows how tragic Jake's life would be without his father.
- Duet. "Duet" is one of the early standout episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine from its uneven first season. What begins as an episode about Kira's determination to unmask war crimes becomes something far more nuanced.

- 5×06 “Trials and Tribble-ations” Equal parts technological feat and nostalgic throwback, season five takes a break from the Dominion War to have some fun with “Trials and Tribble-ations”, a standalone episode which sees Sisko, Dax, O’Brien, and Bashir travel back in time to stop an errant Klingon from wreaking havoc on Kirk’s Enterprise.
- 7×04 “Take Me Out to the Holosuite” For all my talk about how Deep Space Nine is the darker, grittier installment of the Star Trek universe, its 7-season tenure also yielded some of the most unabashedly silly, lighthearted episodes across the franchise – particularly, “Take Me Out to the Holosuite”.
- 6×19 “In the Pale Moonlight” Decidedly not as fun-filled is season six’s blistering character drama “In The Pale Moonlight”, which sees Captain Sisko grappling with whether or not to betray Starfleet’s ethical code when faced with the opportunity to ‘persuade’ the Romulans into joining the Federation’s alliance against the Dominion.
- 1×19 “Duet” One of Deep Space Nine‘s most compelling and unique plotlines was the clash between the Bajorans and the Cardassians: when the Cardassians invaded and colonized Bajor it left the two species locked in a bitter, bloody war that left both sides full of resentment and vitriol.
In the Pale Moonlight is the best DS9 episode, then Duet. The other episodes I disagree with. I think the episodes where Kira is working with the Cardassian underground are much better than the ones listed there, so are the episodes where they take back DS9.

- In the Pale Moonlight (season 6, episode 19) Outside of the streaming era, In the Pale Moonlight might be the most divisive piece of Star Trek canon.
- Far Beyond the Stars (season 6, episode 13) Though Deep Space Nine’s more serialized structure allowed for greater complexity in its characters, the series also retained the flexibility offered by weekly episodic television.
- The Visitor (season 4, episode 3) One of the many traits that distinguishes Captain Benjamin Sisko from his peers in the Star Trek franchise is his role as the adoring single father of a teenage son, Jake (Cirroc Lofton).
- Duet (season 1, episode 19) Since Deep Space Nine started airing before the end of The Next Generation, creators Michael Piller and Rick Berman aimed for the new spin-off to have its own unique perspective on the Star Trek universe.
