The best explanation I can come up with for Star Trek Deep Space Nine is that it is a comedic sitcom about people in space, and then occasionally there are three-episode arcs in which political and religious stuff happens. It doesn’t take itself nearly as seriously as Battlestar Galactica did, and in a way, that’s refreshing.

Episodes you need to watch over and over again:

1. The one where Jake Sisko is himself in like the future and stuff.
2. The one where Captain Sisko leads his crew in a game of baseball against a team of Vulcans and they don’t really win win but they win win you know what I mean?
3. The one where Quark and his Ferengi brethren head over to Empok Nor and ends up with a reanimated alien repeatedly walking into a bulkhead or something like that.
4. The one where Sisko and crew head to a moon or asteroid on the frontlines in the war against the Dominion and they come under repeated assault by the Jem’Hadar and is the first of any Trek series to examine the horrors of war.
5. The one where Nog and Jake end up on a rogue or lost Federation staship being run by a bunch of inexperienced cadets.
6. The one where they go back in time and end up at Space Station K-7 and aboard Kirk’s Enterprise and they have to find a Tribble with a bomb in it.
7. The one where Worf’s brother returns.
8. The one with the holosuite program with Vic Fontaine becomes overtaken by a “jack-in-the-box” and suddenly the crew is involved in an Ocean’s Eleven-type caper.
9. The series finale.
10. All the episodes.
