In "Captive Pursuit" DS9 gets its first visitor from the other side of the wormhole, a creature being hunted for sport by another alien race.
Every sci-fi show loves a good "The Most Dangerous Game" episode and Star Trek is no different. But this is mostly an episode that flushes out O'Brien's character a bit more. Even though we know him the most, him being a TNG transplant, I felt like we don't have too much info on his background beyond his love of kayaking and his constant marital troubles. Here we see him as the "every man", befriending this new lifeform and even breaking protocol by helping his new friend escape when everything's on the line. It's not a perfect episode but it's probably the best of Season 1 thus far.
