  "account": "Here are 15 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes to skip on a rewatch:\n\n1. \"Q-Less\" - John de Lancie's memorable appearance as the omnipotent trickster Q, who is in pursuit of another recurring TNG character, Vash. However, his presence feels out of place in Deep Space Nine.\n\n2. \"Move Along Home\" - A story forcing Sisko to play along with a game proposed by extraterrestrial Wadi, which feels like a Q-inspired episode and lacks any sense of peril.\n\n3. \"The Storyteller\" - An episode focusing on Miles O'Brien's role as a storyteller in a Bajoran community, which is a largely boring affair and a cardinal sin for the show.\n\n4. \"If Wishes Were Horses\" - Strange emissions from the wormhole near the space station begin granting people's deepest wishes, leading to a silliness that is out of place in Deep Space Nine.",
  "summary": "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is one of the best shows in the entire franchise. That doesn't mean it doesn't contain quite a few skippable episodes.",
