Sam Sloan says
It doesn’t surprise me at all that the majority of “best episodes” came from DS9. By far the best of all the Trek series & that’s saying a lot since they were all phenomenal television.
Michael Hickerson says
I found the list very heavy DS9 as well…if I’d made it up, it would likely have more classic Trek.
