Major. Colonel. Resistance leader. Freedom Fighter. Terrorist. Kira Nerys is one of the most impressive characters in Star Trek history, and this week's TrekRanks targets our Top 5 Kira Nerys Episodes. Host Jim Moorhouse is joined by Carlos Miranda and Jenn Tifft to highlight the moments throughout Star Trek: Deep Space Nine that helped define her conviction, faith and fight against authority.

The show begins with our hosts each describing Major Kira with one word in the Diagnostic Cycle, before they jump into their Prime Directives to reveal exactly how everyone narrowed down their picks.

In The Order of Things the hosts unveil their "Five Word Summary and Hashtag" for each of their Top 5 Kira Nerys Episodes and also unveil a specific moment from each of their selections to better define how they view the character. Deep cut selections abound throughout each round, and a personality profile of emerges via the discussion.

With each host's Secondary Systems choices, the picks get even deeper and Jim briefly reviews some of the interesting statistical anomalies that emerge from their selections.

After a quick recap of all the picks in the Regeneration Cycle, the episode concludes with a visit into a Temporal Causality Loop as we flashback to Episode 32 and our discussion of the Top 5 Hottest Characters, Part 2.
