I think you mean episode 18, that one is the second-to-last of the season.
And that is exactly the episode I was thinking of, too. I didn't know which episode number it was, I just remember when I was watching DS9, there was an episode with the filing clerk, and I thought, "Oh, this show is actually going to be great if it stays like this." I just looked it up on IMDB, and it's S1 E18.
Apparently it depends on whether you consider the series premiere as one episode or two; Wikipedia (which I used for reference) lists it as two separate episodes, providing a total s1 episode count of 20, vs imdb which lists it as one single episode, providing a total s1 episode count of 19. Memory Alpha lists the episode as s1e19, and I'm inclined to trust those nerds. At any rate I edited my comment to include the episode title for clarity.
Regardless, yeah, I think it's probably a turning point episode for a lot of folks, and it's the first of many war introspection episodes that help make the series timeless.
Oh, interesting. I'd go with Memory Alpha too, then. But yeah, definitely a pivot point in the series, and the first one that really took the post-war setting seriously.
