Devil in the Dark is one of the scariest episodes of TV ever.
Ricardo Montalban playing the manipulative tyrant in Space Seed never gets old. Much better than his crazed mad man in Wrath of Khan. "Now you must ask to stay." The rest of the episode is flawed.
The episode where Cisco plays a 20th century sci-fi writer is Emmy-worthy. I haven't seen much DS9, but if it's all that good I'm missing out.
Recently, S02E02 of SNW, a "trial" episode, was surprisingly riveting.
DS9 is probably the strongest of the TNG-DD9-VOY-ENT set, partly because they wrote stories with arcs across seasons and episodes and not just syndication-friendly reset to zeros. It also benefits from most episodes taking place entirely in the station, so they don't need to spend as much time introducing the strange new world or the new forehead aliens.
I recommend it.
It's not all that good (a few are pretty bad even), but there's a lot of excellent TV in DS9.
