I really liked "Fascination"
20 year old Star Trek fan here. I recently started watching through DS9 for the VERY FIRST time and I've been enjoying it quite a bit so far. Some of my favorite episodes include Duet, Armageddon Game, Whispers, The Search, Civil Defense…there's a lot of episodes I don't care for but now that I'm on season three the show seems to be in its groove.
Last night I watched S3E10 "Fascination" and it turns out it's ranked one of the worst?? It's one of my favorites of the season so far! I like it when Trek gets goofy and watching Odo interact with Lwaxana will never get old. Plus his reaction to Bashir and Kira in the infirmary is hilarious. I don't know, I liked it. But I also found a tad bit of enjoyment in "Move Along Home" and didn't care for "Second Skin" so maybe my taste is all messed.

I really enjoy this episode. It is one of my favorites. I am a die hard fan and DS9 is my favorite of the franchise. The goofy episodes are like a palate cleanser from some of the heavier episodes.
Move Along Home In the Cards Take Me Out to the Holosuite Profit and Lace Let He Who is Without Sin
You need these episodes to balance out episodes like
The Visitor In the Pale Moonlight Seige of AR 558 Duet
I am so envious of you. Getting to see these for the first time. Enjoy the ride.
