Title: Post your favorite ds9 episode
Post by: redmenace on July 29, 2006, 02:49:39 pm
Post your favorite DS9 Episode.

This footage is my favorite. That episode is Sacrifice of Angels. They thought all is lost and all the sudden the a battle group of vorchas show up. I remember seeing that as a kid being totally awed. DS9 Kicks ass. And then the birds of prey escort the defiant the rest of the way.

Never seen a full episode IIRC. Just remember one bit when a TNG-enterprise-shape-ship enters a portal /jump gate/thing with a couple of friendlies, gets ruffed up, then gets kamikazi'd in one of the nacelles. Just that shot was cool. You can kep the rest thanks.

Series Finale - What You Leave Behind. I loved the final scene.

HOWEVER. Way Of The Warrior comes a close second. Even if you don't like Worf, you must love this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0oamF0rlhc

i think it was the ep with the first encounter with the dominion fleet, my face was stuck in the "wtf?!?" pose for about the duration of the whole ep, a galaxy class ship, which we learned to be pretty much untouchable in TNG(enterprise :p) and then bam, Jem'Hadar bug kamikazi's itself in the main deflector or however is the glowy blue thing called, in the middle, blowing up a good portion of the ship. it was just.... OMGWTF??!??!?


needless to say, thats how i got hooked on DS9 permanently.

:lol: To fully appreciate that scene, you need to see the first-season episode where they pull a Corbomite Maneuver. :)

*nods heavily*

That episode marked the definite goodbye to the long standing Trek way of doing things. No more technobabble solutions for the main characters to chicken out of situations where there is no clear "good guy" choice.
Sisko had to get his hans dirty for the greater good of the Federation, which made him heaps more realistic than the happily-ever-after Picard.

That's actually one of the few DS9 episodes that I liked, generally the show seemed to be unfortunately a mix of something that could have been better and technobabble Voyager-esque crap.

it felt like trek started having balls with DS9 and then afterwards with Enterprise.

While I loved 'Sacrifice of Angels' and 'Tears of the Prophets' as much as any DS9 fan here, my absolute favorite episode has GOT to be Far Beyond the Stars (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Far_Beyond_the_Stars). It is such a powerful and moving episode, truly one of the best episodes of not just Trek, but sci-fi as a whole, and maybe even TV altogether.

Ugh... I don't feel like downloading all seven seasons and the DVD's cost 649€... So I guess I'll never know what's the fuss about DS9.

there are so many moments scattered across so many episodes...

Here are some I like that haven't been said yet:

That one episode where the Breen are introduced and they totally rape the Federation fleet. First time I watched it I was like woot! Go Federation! Then when the ship's power went out I was like WTF!

Then there was the episode where Jake had to sacrifice himself to release Sisko from some space time continuum thingy.

I like the very last scene of the very last episode. :yes:

No, seriously, DS9 wasn't all that bad back then, and it's fun to rewatch episodes here and there, but since BSG.... I just can't help but imagine what DS9 would look like were it done in BSG-esque style. After all, RDM was one of the writers for DS9... ;)

One word: "Voyager", but I'll take yer word for it.

This is quite good if you don't mind watching DS9 doing it's best B5 impersonation. I especially like the hand phaser battle at the end ripped really obviously off B5's Severed Dreams. Star Trek may have picked up part way through DS9 but it's a writer on a different show who's responsible for that :P

In The Pale Moonlight - Darkest side of the Federation and war in general.
Far Beyond The Stars - Metaphysical ponderings and generally a good story.
The Changing Face Of Evil - The first time we see the Federation getting it's ass handed to it.
Once More Unto The Breach - The death of Kor, hero of the Empire.
Empok Nor - You do not **** with O'Brien.
