PATRON TIER LIST - DS9 S1E17 - The Forsaken

B for turBolift scenes

The first episode with Lwaxana that made me actually like her. Solid A from me.

This was a good B episode. Loved the interaction with Odo and Lwaanna. Just keep in mind; world and character building in a show takes time. Not saying every episode is a gem. But it's well worth the watch.

Honest vote in my brain and gut is a B minus, but just for doing such a great job making me love Lwaxana for a change, A in my heart.

Originally graded this a D, not because of Lwaxana but because the episode didn't really interest me. Watching it and re-reacting to it with Josh/Alex I can at least bump it up to a C for the poll. The main draw is Odo and Lwaxana, with Bashir's frustration leading to the good scene with Sisko but the puppy program not resulting in much to grab my attention. Engage!

A for me

A tier for me.

Lwaxana is all I need to know to rank this one

The B plot with Lwaxana & Odo is S-tier. The A & C plots with O’Brien & Bashir; D. Average it out to a B

High B for me. Some really good stuff and some not so great stuff, but an enjoyable episode overall.

B. The Lwaxana-Odo scenes are A+, maybe even S. But O'Brien and Bashir's stories are C if not D. Especially the pup in the computer is some of the most boring technobabble I've ever had to endure.

A for the A plot, yes there’s the other stuff but it doesn’t personally drag it down too much for me
