The first episode of Deep Space 9 was broadcast January 3rd 1993. With the 30th Anniversary happening in the new year I believe it would be a great time for everyone to share their favourite part of Deep Space 9.
Whether that is the Show as a whole, a specific character, the uniform or the Defiant. Or instead a spinoff book set in Deep Space 9 or the anything STO based around Deep Space 9.
What ever it is lets have everyone share their favourite part of Deep Space 9 below and reminisce over this show and all it added to Star Trek.

Quark was certainly a great character from DS9. Loved seeing him pop back up in lower decks too.

I'd have to think about my favorite part of DS9, but I certainly know that my least favorite part was when they killed off Jadzia.

Agreed.
That being said I would say Character wise, Garak and his growth over the series. Being the only Cardassian on the station after the occupation, never knowing in the early seasons if he was a good guy or a bad guy to his friendship over the years with Bashir. Great character Garak.
Episode wise it has in my opinion arguably one of the best episodes of Trek ever In The Pale Moonlight. I love everything about that episode. The fact the Federation are losing the war and tried to convince the Romulans to enter the war and help, to then trying to lie to them when that didn't work to the shuttle blowing up and Sisko going to Garak about it, only for Garak to pretty much admit it and tell Sisko that that's why he came to him in the first place to help, because he could do what Sisko couldn't and not to worry because Sisko will get his wish, the Romulans will enter the war and when Sisko doubts it, Garak get's Sisko to explain why they will.
Then the ending of Sisko recording his log while looking directly at us, the viewer, talking to us about why he did it, and then trying to convince himself that he could live with the guilt of all the lies and being an accessory to murder before deleting the log and that's when the episode ends. Ah everything about that was perfect.
Finally about the show itself, the fact that pretty much from Season 3 onwards while they had the odd stand alone episodes in there, it was mostly a long 4-5 year ark about the war with the Dominion, one that was very well told and pretty consistant.

You know, first time round, I never thought I would like DS9, it didn't gel with me, but I think it was the 3rd rewatch that I started to enjoy it.

For me DS9 was boring until the Dominion and the Defiant showed up but then it was pure awesomeness.

For me it was a show that I liked at the beginning simply because it was Trek but I was always more a TNG and Voyager fan, but it was the Trek that was always 3rd on my list when people would ask me what my favourite Trek was. Over the years and probably the fact that as I got older I understood the deeper religious and political aspects of the story more than I was when I was 6 when it started airing, it's grown on me a lot over the years and is now in my top 2.

DS9 is my favorite Trek show, by a mile (and more). Some of the most memorable episodes in all of Star Trek, in my opinion and one of the coolest starships to boot.
