We have a shorter list, which might be good considering the holidays, but we also have bonus episodes in case you have some extra time on your hands.
I am excited this week, as two of the best dramatic episodes are in the Watch Party (by design). Here is a rundown of our episodes this week:
Waltz -- This is Gul Dukat turned up to 11. Great drama, Mark Alaimo chewing up scene after scene.
Far Beyond The Stars -- CW: Racism. This is the best episode of the series. It is not what you expect, but it's a powerful episode that will leave you with something when it ends. Considering this past year, I think many of you are going to have some feelings after this episode.
Change of Heart -- Hard decisions is what DS9 does best, and this is a Worf and Dax episode. Solid episode.
Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night -- This is a powerful Kira episode that adds a piece to Kira's history. Not one that is comfortable and one.
Inquisition -- This is a Bashir episode that introduces a new group into the canon, one that will come up a few times before the series is done. Considering the time it came out, is also very fitting.
Bonus Episodes
We have a few this week.
- Who Mourns for Morn -- You want to know about Morn, this is your episode.
- One Little Ship -- Solid episode with a strange twist.
- Honor Among Thieves - This is an O'Brien episode that ties to a future bonus episode called Prodigal Daughter (S7E11). I did not include them in the essentials list, but you should watch these as a pair. I will mention this in a few weeks.
