The reason: it has a plethora of meaningful dialog that plays to the strengths of DS9 as a series. It may sound like a standard formula (two arch-enemies must put aside their differences and ally themselves in the name of a larger issue), but "Blaze of Glory" is a very relevant and intelligent story that easily transcends the superficialities of such a situation. Needless to say, Eddington is less than thrilled to willingly form such an alliance.
To prevent the possibility of war (or perhaps "delay" would be a better word considering the volatility of the Dominion situation), Sisko decides he must stop the missiles at all costs, and so he travels to Eddington's penal institution to recruit him for assistance in aborting the missiles.
When the Federation and Klingons intercept a message intended for Michael Eddington, they learn of a dying effort by the Maquis to cause a large amount of damage on Cardassia-cloaked missiles with deadly weapons have been dispatched, and if the missiles reach Cardassia there could be a high death toll, sparking an all-out war between the Cardassians' Dominion allies and the Alpha Quadrant. There's a lot of good stuff here-compelling dialog scenes with tough questions and probing issues, fascinating performances, all wrapped together in a slick action-adventure premise. The most interesting aspect about "Blaze of Glory" is that it shows how the winds of change in the Alpha Quadrant affect people, and it finally reveals a developing understanding that Sisko takes as a result of the Maquis plight. A probing tale about Sisko, Eddington, and the Maquis. And not because we betrayed Starfleet or the Federation, but because we betrayed you." But he forgave you-which is ironic considering you never forgave him. Review by Jamahl Epsicokhan " thought you were wrong about the Maquis. Written by Robert Hewitt Wolfe & Ira Steven Behr
