DS9 was at its best when it focused on serial plots and got away from those sh***y episodes that just focused on one character who's played by a weak actor. (those episodes were the bane of Trek, seriously... STFU & DIAF, Bashir)

Also, I never could decide whether that one episode where Sisko turned into a 1950s sci-fi writer was an epic tribute, or maudlin weaksauce.

I'd put it in the top 5 episodes. It was handled well, but to be honest I liked the performances of most of the rest of the cast. Avery Brooks had his moments, but they were few and far between (and never in the first three seasons). I read that there was an alternate ending where the writer was going to be standing in front of a TV studio holding a script titled "Star Trek" but they decided that would be too much. I think that ending would have been better than Sisko's monologue while staring just barely off camera.

ds9 is the most underrated trek ever, but it did end weakly towards the final seasons

I like the DS9 episodes that took place in the Mirror Universe.
