The TOS soundscape is super soothing to me for some reason. Wonder if it’s contingent on nostalgia levels

It's bad. Don’t forget the psychic or whatever energy balls the Vorta could shoot out of their chests! Though that was dropped basically immediately.

season 3 episode 1 conclusion spoiler lmfao at odo going to a planet of odos and then they all transform into humanoids that look exactly like odo, a being that based his physical appearance on a bajoran docotor and required tons of practice in reference to the rest of the episode: also, speaking of op, the dominion also sees through cloak, lmfao. its stupid and it loving sucks. there better be a good loving reason the dominion is so strong other than "for the drama!" oh man, since i'm already going off, before i start the next episode, i just want to say that making known terrorist and coup collaborator winn the kai was just loving stupid. she was in the capital with the coup leader when the coup government fell! i looked that one up and its literally "the writers were going to go the other way then decided at the last minute that actually it'd be more fun this way." and thus we get the garbo episode "the collaborator" RaySmuckles fucked around with this message at 01:44 on May 8, 2020 |

It's bad. It was a bloody first contact and they were hit so fast they didn't know how to react and adapt in time. The Dominion meanwhile had been monitoring the federation for some time and more than likely had gained access to Starfleet technical readouts. They had a clear advantage and surprise on their side, it's no wonder they thrashed the Odyssey.

The Dominion is from the opposite end of the galaxy and they use entirely different technology. It's the kind of advantage that only works once or twice before Starfleet gets wise. Hell they do it again when the Breen join the war, and they're an alpha quadrant species that managed to inflict two of the worst defeats in Starfleet history due to using at the time unknown technology. Beyond that, Starfleet didnt have any dedicated warships until the Defiant and she was a prototype. It's little surprise they didn't perform well during the early skirmishes with the Dominion.

The Dominion is actually really old compared to any of the other powers that the Federation has run into. Somewhere between 2,000 and 10,000 years old. It's also really big, probably the second largest power in the galaxy, behind the Borg. The Federation usually beats their enemies by some sort of technical wizardry or trickery. Technical wizardry will at best let them pull even with the Dominion, because the Dominion has been around for so long they've seen all the tricks, or so they think at least. And unlike the Borg, the real danger isn't that a single ship is so dangerous, (Federation weapons are quite effective against Dominion ships) it's that there are lots of them and they will keep coming. The Dominion is not supposed to be an equal to the Federation, they're supposed to be an existential threat to it.

if not for the wormhole being blocked and then closed, the dominion would have won as soon as they decided to commit enough resources. they were always on a much different scale than any of the alpha quadrant powers. now that i think about it, jem'hadar would be a pretty good way to fight the borg. it doesn't matter if they are assimilated, because they don't know poo poo about poo poo and will die without ketracel white no matter how many pvc tubes are sticking out of their head.

The Dominion seems really stagnant and 1-dimensional in their initial form, like they're a lamer Federation with a huge clone army and military focus. I like that they play some of the lovely alpha quadrant powers against the federation tho. The borg are just like yeah, weird cgi people from goopy space, yeah this is what we want, give us that good poo poo

People who take the Jem'Hadar at face value underestimate their inner culture and philosophy. They are definitely more than just tank bred supersoldiers, but the arrogance of the Vorta and the Founders means that the Jem'Hadar are seen by their superiors as being mindless.

They want to take people and attach the people to themselves and be a new thing. Goop aliens got hosed over so they made the Dominion. If they gently caress everyone up, they won't get hurt again. One of those wants to bring people in, the other wants to push them away. They all want to kill a lot of people to get their goals done. That's the hosed up evil part that makes them baddies, the death part. It's hard to parse that as an American sometimes because we are the death people, the people that bring death to other people. We've been death champions for like 70 odd years.
