Yesterday I applied myself on a later season with a clip involving the prophets and pah wraiths

So far I've been watching through season 1 as this is my first watch of DS9

I've come to realise that I don't like the entire prophet and pah wraith plotline because it feels like this overarching plot that takes away from everything else DS9 is and it ruined the show for me

I'd like to try continue watching but by skipping over the whole prophet & pah wraith plotline

Is it possible, is there some sort of guide out there to skip the prophet / pah wraith plotline ?

No, it’s integral to the show and most of the characters and only becomes more important as the show goes on.

I’m sure someone could assemble a list of episodes where the prophets/pah wraiths aren’t important, but it would just be a list of random filler episodes devoid of context.
