Been a big fan of Star Trek: Next Gen since I was a kid, and finally decided to start watching Deep Space Nine after hearing good things about it (and after finding a way to watch it for free). So far im loving it, and it does a lot of things better than Next Gen surprisingly! So what are your favorite episodes of Deep Space Nine?

DS9 vs TNG is one of those great debates. Similar shows but went very different directions, where TNG you can drop in and watch in episode, DS9 broke the then startrek (and TV rule) that plotlines can not only seasons, but the entire show. I remember then TV execs thought that people didn't have attention spans that could handle long format shows.

Anyway, favorite episodes. It's hard because I don't want to give you spoilers! But the first time you visit the Ferengi homeworld with Quark. So ridiculous lol

I don't think I can put one show over the other (yet). Both have their pros and cons, one of them being the large overarching storyline but the show still has some fun individual episodes. And so far I love what they've done to the Ferengi. Quark has become one of my characters. The scene where he explains the Rules of Acquisition to a Romulan is so well written and acted.
