My top 10 for DS9 (became i think it deserves a top 10 too which i rank either S or A) Dramatis Personae, Babel, If Wishes Were Horses, Emissary, Duet, Move Along Home, In The Hands Of The Prophets, Past Prologue, The Passenger, and The Forsaken.
To each their own: I’m a little stunned how often Duet is not on the top of the DS9 lists.
For TNG i rank all of these as S:, Timescape, Tapestry, Face Of The Enemy, Chain Of Command, Rascals, Relics, Realm Of Fear, Frame Of Mind, The Chase, and Starship Mine.

Mmm I love a good list. Here we go! TNG S6 1 Tapestry 2 Chain of Command Part 1 & 2 3 Frame of Mind 4 Second Chances 5 Lessons 6 Descent Part 1 & 2 7 Suspicions 8 Relics 9 Timescape 10 Schisms DS9 S1 1 Duet 2 Progress 3 Dax 4 The Forsaken 5 Captive Pursuit Top five on TNG S6 were really easy, but the 6-10 I really had to think about!
DS9 Season 1: 1. Dramatis Personae (S) 2. Duet (S) 3. Emissary (A) 4. In The Hands of the Prophets (A) 5. Progress (A) --------------------------------------------------- 6. Babel (A) I really, REALLY wanted to include Babel in the top 5, but Progress is just the superior episode. TNG Season 6: 1. Tapestry (S) 2. Frame of Mind (S) 3. Ship in a Bottle (S) 4. Relics (S) 5. Chain of Command (S) 6. Schisms (A) 7. A Fistful of Datas (A) 8. Realm of Fear (A) 9. Timescape (A) 10. Second Chances (A) So many S- and A-tier episodes! Clearly a better season than DS9-Season 1.
TNG: 1. Tapestry 2. Frame of Mind 3. Timescape 4. Second Chances 5. Face of the Enemy 6. Lessons 7. Suspicions 8. Chain of Command 9. Starship Mine 10. Relics (really hard to pick 10, since there are at least 20 different top 10 episodes here ;) and if you ask me again in 2 years it could be different) DS9: 1. Emissary 2. In the Hands of the Prophets 3. Progress 4. Duet 5. Past Prologue 6. A man alone (easier to pick and not enough episodes that a worthy for a top 10)
TNG 1.Tapestry 2. Relics 3. Frame of Mind 4. Face of the Enemy 5. Chain of Command 6. Decent 7. Timescape 8. Schisms 9. Ship in a bottle 10. Starship Mine DS9 1. Duet 2. In The Hands Of The Prophets 3. Emissary 4. Captive Pursuit 5. Dramatis Personae
I’ll come up with a list later but gotta say im disappointed in the lack of love for “The Nagus” in these comments so far… 🤨
DS9 season 1: 1 Captive Persuit, 2: Babel, 3: duet, 4: progress 5: storyteller 6 the forsaken 7 move along home 8 emissary 9 Nagus 10 if wishes were horses though I really like that one
Tng: 1 Rascals, 2: Fistful of Datas, 3: True Q 4: Face of the enemy, 5: Lessons, 6: ship in a bottle 7: Time’s Arrow 8: Relics 9: Schisns 10: Frame of mind honorable mentions suspicions, tapestry, chain of command and the Chase
TNG Season 6 1 Timescape 2 Lessons 3 The Chain of Command 4 Tapestry 5 Schisms 6 Relics 7 Second Chances 8 Face of the Enemy 9 Frame of Mind 10 Ship in a Bottle Timescape is, as I remember, the first TNG thing I ever saw (I was like 6-9), and I still love it. A great, seasons top 5 episode by itself for me, but that personal note gives it that little extra push ^-^. (written before Reaction posted, god I hope you don't hate on it xD) DS9 Season 1 (imma do 10, but I see why top 5 is goal, huge gap for me between 4th and 5th) 1 Duet 2 Captive Pursuit 3 Battle Lines 4 Progress 5 Past Prologue 6 Vortex 7 Dramatis Personae 8 Dax 9 Emissary 10 A Man Alone
Instead of a DS9 top five, I'll give a brief evaluation. The constraints on the TNG characters were mostly removed. I saw the potential in world-building due to a fixed location. The initial budget for the pilot and standing sets meant too many station based stories to balance the accounts. Many of the show's core elements are still not present, or firmly established. And if Josh & Alex were underwhelmed, imagine them re-watching S1 after watching the entire show run.
Tapestry and Duet take the cake for me!
TNG: 1. Second Chances 2. Lessons 3. Tapestry 4. Relics 5. Chain of Command 1 & 2 6. Face of the Enemy 7. Ship in a Bottle 8. Timescape 9. Starship Mine 10. Schisms DS9 Top 5 1. Duet 2. Captive Pursuit 3. Vortex 4. Past Prologue 5. In the Hands of the Prophets
How many repeats can we have? My list is nothing but Aquiel!
Aquiel? What's that? Sounds like a hairspray. Just to be clear, we're talking about Star Trek episodes, here. Try to stay on topic! 🤓
Everyone glazing Duet, but there's only one episode that had the courage to have the main cast play hopscotch, and it wasn't even 'Rascals'!
yep, real stunning and brave, and all that ^^
DS9: 1: Duet 2: Captive Pursuit 3: Progress 4: the Forsaken 5: Past Prologue TNG: 1: Relics 2: Chain of Command 3: Lessons 4: Ship in a Bottle 5: Second Chances 6: Face of the Enemy 7: Timescape 8: Quality of Life 9: The Descent 10: Realms of Fear

Only 5 for DS9 💀 😂
There are 6 less episodes for a start. And it is a first season. So it does make sense. Even as a DS9 diehard myself, a top 10 of S1 would be stretching things.
Duet. Need I say more?
DS9: 1) Duet 2) Past Prolouge 3) Captive Pursuit 4) Vortex 5) In the Hands of the Prophets TNG 1-2) Chain of Command 3) Relics 4) Ship In A Bottle 5) Second Chances 6) Tapestry 7) Face of the Enemy 8) Frame of Mind 9) Timescape 10) The Chase
1 - Duet. Best Piece of writing in all of trek 2. In the hands of the prophets, - very relevant on church/government vs education especially today 3) the forsaken Lewaxana stole the episode, odo shared a little of his life 4) emmisary, juggled avkot and didn't stick landing but still good for introducing 5) move along home - a modern classic!!!!!!!!?
What I really like about the S1 finale is that it appears to be one kind of story. Then it shifts to a more intense ideological confrontation. Then it ultimately reveals what was really going on.
DS9 - “Duet” for best legit episode, “Emissary” and “Captive Pursuit” are decent episodes, “Move Along Home” because has a cult status for being the worst episode of the 1990s, and finally “The Nagus” because it’s also terrible but gave one of the best reactions.
All I know for sure is that Episode 19, "Duet" is my top for DS9.
Not an upper Tier Patron, so will just say Duet is the best DS9 Season 1 episode and leave it at that
