I just keep thinking that it was amazing to see tv shows that were allowed to have a mid first season and not be forced to be a banger from jump. I still think DS9’s first season was better than TNG.

To pronounce the actor René Auberjonois’s last name correctly, think of the English phrase “oh-bear-zhon-wah.” This breaks it down:
• “oh” sounds like the word “owe.”
• “bear” is like the animal.
• “zhon” rhymes with “John” but with a soft “zh” sound, like the “s” in “measure.”
• “wah” is like the sound in “want.”
So, say it slowly: oh-bear-zhon-wah. This matches the phonetic pronunciation provided in sources like IMDb and Wikipedia, which describe it as roughly “oh-bear-zhon-wah” or /rəˈneɪ oʊˌbɛərʒənˈwɑː/.

While Duet and Necessary Evil are standout episodes, they also feel very much of their respective seasons. Neither makes it into my own top 10 for DS9. I know I'm in a minority opinion with Duet, but the show simply doesn't have its identity and direction until season 3. And no more will I even imply.
