---->'''Eddington:''' "Why is the Federation so obsessed about the Maquis? We've never harmed you. And yet we're constantly arrested and charged with terrorism... Starships chase us through the Badlands... and our supporters are harassed and ridiculed. Why? Because we've left the Federation, and that's the one thing you can't accept. Nobody leaves paradise. Everyone should want to be in the Federation. Hell, you even want the Cardassians to join. You're only sending them replicators so that one day they can take their 'rightful place' on the Federation Council." [beat] "You know, in some ways you're ''worse than the Borg.'' At least they tell you about their plans for assimilation. You're more insidious... you assimilate people and they don't even know it."

* In "The Dogs of War", Martok shows how high-level he thinks when he notes that the Dominion pulling back shortens their supply lines while forcing the alliance to lengthen theirs. As they say, amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics.

* Both Garak and Sisko get one when they devise a way to warn Cardassians of impending Klingon invasion. More awesome for Garak, because he was able to geta head of Cardassian military who absolutely hates him to sit down and listen. Getting a hold of Dukat in the first place is awesome moment itself. It is as if exiled nobody German spy who Hitler hates called Hitler's personal cellphone number from Puerto Rico, told him USSR is going to invade with a third of their military and that he has a day to counteract that or die. And Space Hitler listened.

* "Tribunal" showcases the Cardassian legal system - in short, a KangarooCourt where the accused is always guilty and everything is about exposing how and why they are. And this time, O'Brien is the accused. As it turns out, however, the Cardassians are using him to scapegoat the Federation - one of their spies stole Federation weapons by using O'Brien's access codes and a recording of his voice, in the name of making it appear the Maquis had Federation sanction. Of course, the problem the Cardassians face isn't just the Federation's tendency towards TrueCompanions, leading to Keiko defiantly refusing to turn on her husband (in the manner that Cardassian spouses would be expected to plea for the mercy of the state) and the crew on [=DS9=] to discover the spy, but also how Odo, acting as O'Brien's Nestor, or advisor, isn't just interested in the appearance of justice but ACTUAL justice, ends up stalling the proceedings (and expressing his disdain for them every step of the way) so that, in a darkly humorous moment, the Arbiter declares this to be the longest trial in Cardassian history. This is long enough for the spy to be found and Sisko to show up in the courtroom, spy in tow, and not needing to say a word, just glare at the Arbiter, who, knowing that the gig is up, "pardons" O'Brien, in "the spirit of furthering Cardassian-Federation relations."

* She may have been a piece of work all her own, to the point of having betrayed everything that she was meant to stand for as Kai in the name of pursuing her own personal power and glory, but Winn's final act was attempting to destroy the Book of the Kosst Amojen, stopping the Pai-wraiths and Dukat, and, when that fails, having just enough time to shout to Sisko what he needed to do to accomplish what she couldn't before her own demise and truly acknowledging Sisko as the Emissary of the Prophets for the first time. Not enough to qualify as RedemptionEqualsDeath, but still, worth noting that even in the face of her devils and certain death, she still managed to, this one time, do the right thing.

* In "The Reckoning", after Jake's in the infirmary recovering from being possessed by a Pah-Wraith and being used to battle a Prophet, Benjamin is feeling horribly guilty about his part in the ordeal, but Jake says, "You don't have to explain. When the Pah-Wraith was inside me, I could feel its hatred. And I knew that no matter what, it couldn't be allowed to win... even if it meant I had to die."

* Jake got shafted a lot during the Dominion War arc, but he still managed a Crowning Moment of Awesome of his own in the seventh season opener, when he saves his father from a Pah-Wraith cultist (who has traveled to Earth and stabbed him) by hitting him with a bag of potatoes and knocking him unconscious.

** In attempting to prove that she is worthy of standing with Kor, Kang, and Koloth as they fulfill their blood oath against the Albino, rather than be released from Curzon's obligation, Dax takes up a bat'leth and duels Koloth. Sure, ultimately the Dahar Master wins, but the fact that she stands her ground against him and isn't immediately taken down by a master of the blade is damn impressive.
** The reason that Kang has found the Albino now is that he was contacted by the Albino, offered a chance to end things between them. Even though Kang knew that it had to be a trap, he takes the offer - they're all old men, and at this point, there's almost no other way that the blood oath would be fulfilled before their deaths. However, the Albino has set up his fortress to easily wipe out any invaders in seconds, between guards and traps. But he wasn't counting on Curzon Dax having died and the Dax symbiont being transferred to Jadzia, a science officer. She uses the cloaked Bird of Prey they use as transport to render all energy weapons useless, then, because she's younger and quicker, manages to blow up the armory to divert security. Without Jadzia's knowledge, they'd have been killed walking in the front door.
** The death of the Albino himself. This is a CompleteMonster if there was one, having tailored a genetic virus to kill the firstborn sons of all three of the Klingon trio, just because he bore a grudge against the fathers of those children. After he seems to get the upper hand against Kang, striking a mortal wound on him, he's stopped by Jadzia and her blade. He taunts her, not believing she'll strike the killing blow, and it certainly seems he's correct, as she stands there, frozen and uncertain of if she can take this life. Then the Albino shouts and staggers, falling to the ground dead, a d'k'tagh dagger in his back. Kang, with his dying breaths, thanks Jadzia for saving the killing blow for him, allowing him to go to Sto'Vo'Kor in victory.
