Captain Sisko on Waging War

from "In the Pale Moonlight"

According to the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, this episode is generally considered by both fans and staff as the darkest Star Trek episode ever made, and the one most antithetical to Gene Roddenberry's initial views of Starfleet, the Federation and 24th century humanity.

When the series ended in 1999, a poll run in Sci-Fi Entertainment had this episode as the highest rated show of the entire seven year run, followed by "The Visitor" and "Far Beyond the Stars". Furthermore, this episode has an average rating of 4.8/5 on the official Star Trek website (as of February 20th, 2008), making it one of the highest rated episodes on the entire site.

The real world equivalent of this would be if British agents had a hand in sabotaging the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact between Hitler and Stalin.
