From MadCap's Couch - "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (7 Worst Episodes)

So I covered my favorite episodes of Deep Space Nine last week, and it seemed only fitting that I would deliver unto you what I believe to be the 7 worst episodes of the show - one from each season.

I'm sure this definitely won't be a contentious issue at all!

So, without further adieu...

From MadCap's Couch - "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (7 Favorite Episodes*)

So, I've mentioned it a few times before both here on the blog and on Twitter, but Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is my favorite Star Trek series. While I do have a massive appreciation for the Original Series and - of course - The Next Generation, DS9 took Star Trek in a new direction that developed not only Starfleet and the Federation, but also other alien races who had previously only really been in the background or had been black and white antagonists such as the Cardassians and the Ferengi. That doesn't mean I enjoy every single episode of it (I'm looking at you "He Who Is Without Sin"), but I do enjoy the emphasis on world building, the ways in which the main crew was developed in believable and enjoyable ways, and the epic scale of everything by the end.

Needless to say, after finishing another marathon, I decided to write out this list.

This isn't going to be an exhaustive or comprehensive overview of the entire series, as much as I would absolutely love to milk all those sweet, sweet views that I'm not getting. More to the point, there are other people who have already covered Trek far better and more in-depth than I ever could (I personally recommend SFDebris: All glory to Psycho Janeway!). This list will be nothing more than my seven favorite episodes from the seven seasons of Deep Space Nine - one episode for each of the seven seasons the show ran.

...likely with a few honorable mentions before we get to number one.

That being said, spoilers for various parts of the show will be given depending on where we are in the Series' overall arc. So, if you haven't watched the show yet and are interested, this is your final warning. Beneath the cut, anything goes.
