Best episodes to watch for are " Far Beyond The Stars " from DS9, "Scorpion 1 and 2 " from Voyager. Just a few awesome episodes.
Just got my 'Defiant' model kit. Price dropped from $30 to $9 BUCKS!!! Now I gotta find me a Voyager model kit to be complete.

Ok.. Top 10 Star Trek Deep Space Nine episodes. I love Trek and there are a TON of great episodes that croos all the series but DS9 is my favorite and the best show ever on TV IMHO.
10- Treachery, Faith and the Great River- We get two off setting story types, serious and funny, that manage to mesh extremely well. One looks at religion and how it can play a role in one's life by looking at a truncoat clone of Weyoun that turns himself into Odo to help the Federation and gets chased down by Dominion forces set upon them by his clone successor and the cardassian damar. The second is a highly amusing turn where Miles O'brien allows Nog to use his Ferangi bartering skills to fill a request from captain Sisko that seems impossible to fill!
9- Crossover- A nod to the TOS episode where DS9 goes back to the same mirror universe that cuased so many problesm for the TOS crew.

8- Hard Time- A great episode where Miles O'Brien has memories that seem entirely real of a 20 year long prison sentance implanted in his brain and seeing him deal with the effects of the many hardships he had to endure.

7- The Wire- Another great episode with my favorite chacter Garak where we learn quite a bit but about but not too much to lose the mystery of the character. Also build on my favorite DS9 relationship with the friendship between Garak and Bashir.

6- Nor The Battle To The Strong- a great examination of the horrors surrounding war and doing it in a way that hits fans hard and honest.

4-5 Improbable Cause/Die Is Cast- a two parter though not listed that way. An incredible insight into my favorite character Garak. Sets up a whole bunch of great shows in later seasons and has one of the most memorable and quotable lines from Garak.
(Bashir tells Garak the story of the boy who cried "Wolf")
Bashir: "If you lie all the time, no one is going to believe you, even when you're telling the truth."
Garak: "Are you sure that's the point, Doctor?"
Bashir: "Of course. What else would it be?"
Garak: "That you should never tell the same lie twice."
3- Duet- Great interaction between the freedom fighter of formely oppressed bajoran people Kira Nerys and a Cardassian that embodies all of the atrocities heaped upon her people. Great dialouge and a bunch of great twiosts and turns to the story. Harris Yulin plays the Cardassian labor camp overseer to perfection.

2- The Visitor- A poignant tale of an unbreakable and profound love between father and son. Will tug the heartstrings of even the most jaded viewer.

1- In the Pale Moonlight- great episode where they break just about every moral code Trek has it's foundations rooted in. Watching Garak play Sisko like a well tuned piano is a sight to see.
