Best DS9 Episodes

[Sonak]

A bunch of friends and I were planning on getting together in the next few days and watching a bunch of Star Trek DS9 and TNG episodes, and I was just wondering which ones everyone thought were the best. There's already a thread on TNG episodes, so if anyone had lists of their favorite DS9 Episodes (we're looking almost exclusively for Dominion War episodes at this point), that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

A few titles that come to mind :
In the Pale Moonlight
The whole 6-episodes arc at the beginning of season 6
Tears of the Prophets and the first two-parter at the beginning of season 7.
And the last ten episodes of the series

There are many more (still when selecting the Dominion War only), but I have to get some sleep.

Oh, The Ship and the one with the Iconian Gateway are good, although technically during the Dominion War.

Anything with the Romulans or Garak.

My all time fave is "Our Man Bashir."

[Karg]

In the Pale Moonlight
Little Green Men
Way of the Warrior
Soldiers of the Empire
What You leave behind
The Visitor

and of course...

Far Beyond the Stars

Best DS9 Ep: Duet
Fave DS9 Ep: Trials and Tribble-ations

Neither is a Dominion War episode, so I'll also suggest Rocks and Shoals and The Seige of AR-558 as the best war episodes.

Edit: I'm going to beat Snake Plissken to the punch and say Profit and Lace was the best DS9 Ep ever!

The _best_ episodes of DS9 ever were:

"Past Tense, Part 1"
"Past Tense, Part 2"

followed closely by

"Duet"
"The Siege of AR-558"
"Its Only A Paper Moon"
"Badda-Bing Badda-Bang" (Ezri in a cigarette girl's costume! Yum!)
"In The Pale Moonlight" (A very good but also a very pessimistic anti-Roddenberry episode.)
"Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" (Another good but pessimistic episode.)

and all the Mirror Universe episodes.

[JonA]

In the Pale Moonlight
Far Beyond the Stars
Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges
Waltz
Tears of the Prophets
What You Leave Behund (Part 1 - but not Part 2)

[Polanski]

Well...

In the Pale Moonlight
The Sound of her Voice...

[Ramage]

Oh man, this is a hard one... I loved DS-9 above all other Treks...

Most of the episodes featuring Garak are simply fantastic.

"Past Tense" was amazing

"Our Man Bashir", "Little Green Men" and "Trial & Tribble-ations" were hysterical, as was the as-yet-unnamed "House of Quark" (remember the look on Gowran's face when he is getting the lecture about finances?).

I guess I'll have to go out and rent some more episodes to figure out which is best

ah man, I go on a (much-needed) vacation for only a week and folks are already starting to steal my shticks.

I think one of my favourite episodes (not exclusivelly) had to be The Jem hadar. The episode was not particularly a good one untill the end. it was the first story where the whole 'Dominion' Story line came to the fore, and it just plain made my jaw Drop! We had seen the yammamoto destroyed, but from the few exchanges we had between Sisko and the captain of the Oddesy, it just was so horrific, even when you tally up all of the numbers of people who died in the latter war; that's always the trick to good writing - making you care!

For pure comedy value however Little Green men and the House of Quark are clasics - even if Quark managed to travel at trasnwarp speeds to get backwards and forwards to DS9, Qo'nos and Earth within a few hours

[Capt. K. Vaughn]

"In the Pale Moonlight"
"The Siege of AR-558"
"The Sound of Her Voice"

and the title escapes me at the moment, the episode where Jake Sisko and Bashir are stranded on the planet under siege by the Klingons and he has to face his own cowardice.

[Sarge]

CKV, I think that last one was called Nor The Battle to The Strong.

[AslanC]

Treachery, Faith and the Great River

That was my fav
