Man I didn't remember some of this Season 7 DS9.

Dukat has his own cult, a guys wife gives birth to a cardassian baby and he is like ".......uhhh..........THE GODS CHANGED THIS BABY INTO A CARDASSIAN TO SIGNIFY OUR PARTNERSHIP" then he tries to throw her out an airlock, and when that doesn't work he tries to trick them all into killing themselves.

This is even better than when he called up Kira out of the blue to tell her that he fucker her mom.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
If they hadn't gone the Demon Dukat route during the final season of DS9, I sort of would have liked his end in DS9 being him preaching to some defeated Cardassians about how they almost had it all, but they lost it all to traitors who forced the Dominion to turn on them.

I'd like Dukat to switch sides again, weasel his way into the new Cardassian government, smugly tell Kira et al they'll be seeing more of him in future and then next scene he's sitting all pleased with himself and Garak appears behind him and says 'hello [dukat's first name]" and garrotes him Clemenza style

but really anything would be a better end than satanist space hitler

Have you watched that episode? I'm be more inclined to say that all racism in the history of television broadcasting is more subtle than the "African Planet" episode. And it doesn't even have the excuse of, "well it was a product of its time".

In one interview he joked that he wanted to break the neck of the guy who was always following him around with that pan flute (it was added in post production).

I read the Memory-Alpha entry on that to refresh my memory, and I forgot that season 1 Neelix was a little less..."warm and cuddly" than later seasons:

quote:

Neelix, who has been observing all this from the mess hall, is upset about the Captain's decision to enter the nebula and possibly endanger the ship and its crew. Kes tells him that she is not endangering anyone's life but that these people are just natural born explorers driven by curiosity and the desire to learn more about the world around them. Neelix doesn't agree with her and actually thinks that they are nothing but "natural born idiots" who, with a ship that's a match to any vessel in 100 light years, have to stop for every space anomaly to investigate.

I do remember a few instances of him protesting all the stupid poo poo Voyager/Janeway wanted to do. I mean...he WAS supposed to be some sort of scoundrel/rogue/smuggler character when they met him, right? And more than a couple times they had him be almost abusive towards Kes.

For that matter, how did Kes and him ever even meet? Weren't all the Ocompa stuck on that planet inside their little colony being protected by the Caretaker? I thought he didn't allow anyone in or out?

Edit: Holy shiot, Janeway's "Animal Spirit Guide" or whatever is a loving salamander, are you making GBS threads me?

My favourite is Pulaski exclaiming "ooh what practiced technique!" to Riker just pouring the eggs onto a griddle.

Why didn't anyone try to get Nagilum to help out during the Dominion War? Things got pretty desperate and the Federation almost lost, there's got to be some way somebody could have at least tried to sell Nagilum on helping them out as some kind of research experiment.

I hope the new Star Trek bucks the recent trend of grimdark TV shows and goes way more into happy and stupid.
