DS9 is by far my favourite TV series of all time. My favourite eps:
Duet
Defiant
The Visitor
Hard Time
A Call to Arms
Rocks and Shoals
In the Pale Moonlight
I'm a big fan of the originals and TNG as well, though Voyager never really did much for me. The Year of Hell 2 parter was great, but apart from that I thought it was a really misjudged attempt at a series.

klingon_jedi - I remember the first time I saw In The Pale Moonlight - was just blown away by the power of the story and it's deliverence by Brooks. It certainly opened up all sorts of possibilites to what was going to happen in the Dominon War, and to the characters in general.
Commander Courage - Children Of Time - forgot about that gem of an episode, a welcome change to the War arc - more Trek episodes like this powerful story would be most welcome - tho I think TIIC would shy away from this type of premise now.
Sean Wookie - glad you're giving Trek a go, m8. The even numbered rule is a good way to go - tho don't expect too much in Insurrection. Season 3 of DS9 onwards is quite easy to pick up, lots of foreshadwoing , arcs and great episodes all start here, if you enjoy 'em can always give the 1st 2 seasons a go too.
For any fans of Trek I'd recommend trying to get hold of the DS9 Companion book - an ep guide and views of the cast, writers and producers - all brutally honest in thier assessment of what worked and what didn't and how the series evolved. Also of interest is the original ending of the series which was changed due to Berman objecting to it.
I wonder how it would have faired if it was being made today - subjects such as faith, beliefs, religious extremism, terrorism, biochemical weapons, cloning, gene alterations and war etc would surely have been watered down in the current world climate - esp given the way the majority of VOY and ENT episodes have so far been very bland of making a social comment of any sort - let alone entertaining us fans.
On a side note it was good to have seen such strong recurring guest actors such as Andrew Robinson, Casey Biggs, Jeffrey Combs and Marc Alaimo and given strong storylines and dialogue in a series. A definate bonus to the overall feel and tone of the series.
A little patience goes a long way on this old-school Rebel base. If you are having issues finding what you are looking for, these will be of some help…

I've kept a look out at Half-Price Books for it, but to no avail. Looks like I'll just have to break down and pay retail.

Well the way I understand it, Berman and Braga pretty much let Ira Steven Behr and crew do whatever they wanted with the show (within reason, of course) while they focused their attention on Voyager. This in turn, resulted in a far superior product. However, if DS9 was in Enterprise's shoes, as the only Trek show currently on the air, I agree that it wouldn't be half the show it is, working too hard on appealing to the pop-culture of the day than telling good, meaningful stories.

Moore's interviews on Trek are worth a read - there is a good comprehensive one on ign.com and a few links to others at trekbbs.com He's quite honest about his time on Trek - including his short time on VOY. Behr has also done an interview for ign - but alsa they havn't published it yet - would be most intriguing to hear his views...
It certainly make me think that Trek may have been in better hands under the leadership of Behr instead of Berman over the past years.

Oh, there's no question that Behr/ Moore are right up there with Meyer/Bennet and Roddenberry/Coon as Trek's best creative forces.
