This. The DS9 writers have specifically said that they made him over the top cartoonishly evil in the final season because they were horrified that conservative fans idolized him. The entire final season was basically them saying "GUL DUKAT IS AN EVIL, EVIL MAN. DO YOU GET IT YET?!" Just beating them over the head with it.

They wrote him as a "nobody thinks of themselves as the villain" character and Marc Alaimo sold it so well people believed his creepy paternalistic "I was trying to protect them and only executed them when I had to and how do they repay me" BS. And that's on top of the fascist wannabes who were happy to have an excuse and the "such a sad story, I can change him" fans who are almost worse than the fascists.

the cardassian occupation swept away not just the governments but the social structures of the bajorans, so it is not surprising that they not only fall back onto their shared religious beliefs to provide a sense of stability in a time of chaos, but centre their efforts to unify and reconstruct bajor they attempt to do so through the only remaining thing that unites bajorans and the old bajor.

The Earth actually can sustain quite a larger number of humans.

Understandable, but also there's that one episode where they exile those refugees from the Gamma Quadrant, that time when they slowly started turning into a theocracy as religious leaders were consolidating power, etc etc.

also Alex's groveling and bootlicking for Elon on the call is breathtaking

might've been KF or another pod that pointed out that most people react to intense flattery with suspicion. Elon takes it purely as fact. Anyone besides the absolute dullards on the call would assume Alex is loving with him when he won't stop calling him a maverick and the most brilliant man in the world etc.

Also the same people who are only just now realizing that the entire Star Trek franchise has always been extremely "woke" now that they're depicting openly gay and nonbinary characters. They even view Gul Dukat as a good guy and the intended hero of DS9.

Also the same people who see Homelander from The Boys and think "finally someone created a real American hero who is totally a good and moral guy and it is good and based to wear a Homelander costume to Trump rallies and Capitol insurrections, rah rah America, suck it libs :smug:"

They are only capable of engaging with popular media on a surface level, nuance and similar things cannot penetrate their smooth brains.

I’m pretty sure that they ran into the same problem with Rufus Sewell’s character in The Man in the High Castle and had to do the same thing in their final season

The issue was also partly the show had at least another season left but it apperently didn’t do well enough to continue, so they just jammed everything into like 2 episodes at the end of what was supposed to be the second to last season. I find Sewell character interesting because he is kinda of a realistic monster and it makes me mad that wolfenstein new colossus didn’t do very much with its American setting outside New York and Roswell and bj’s chud dad.

what?

That episode is super weak coming like a year or more too late with that soft rear end handling. Maybe its ok for the target audience but "don't have time" for all the essential poo poo in his past is kinda crucial. Way too much "gotta hand it to him" and way too much repetition of poo poo like "made EV cars popular" liberals love to believe, overshadowing essential problems of the environment that wanker had to strive in in the first place.

Listen to Paris Marx podcast instead.

Probably wasn't a joke actually at the end that he's afraid of getting kicked off Twitter lol


(To be more charitable, maybe the angle is that he thinks it's easier to soft-pedal "hey you know maybe Elon has a dark side" to the comparatively Elon-illiterate HBO audience, than to say "hey everybody the real life iron man is actually a loving monster and you are all complicit in his rise to power". Like you gotta ease them into it or they'll reject it as just totally implausible)

Yes, I'm sure the Paris Marx podcast, whatever the gently caress that is, will be the watershed moment exposing Elon Musk to the American public for the fraud and monster he is????

You do realize that even a milquetoast critique from somebody with an actual audience is more important for cracking Musk's facade of respectability than some absolutely marginal nobody technically being more rigorous in their critique, right

given his episodes on tucker and trump fe, should've been along that line of base rejection at least and not "oh wow did you know Elon not so good?" way too late for that rethoric. He can do better, this was too weak.
