Fun fact: the Cardassian neck ridges are entirely based on Alaimo having an absolutely massive neck. Like he's a human giraffe with girth for days and the makeup designers were like yeah, we can work with this

When the ferengi are introduced they're small but very strong, and cruel, and you can see where they're supposed to be a credible threat. But they couldn't pull it off.

In Star Trek TNG: Birth of the Federation 2, the Ferengi are the most OP AI enemy to face because they have the cheapest ships and make alliances super easy, plus they get all kinds of money bonuses and can trade without a treaty, so next thing you know there's an huge invincible fleet just steamrolling everything. If you leave them be they'll easily conquer Q'Onos.

Big Beef City posted:I'd like to know what those helmets were supposed to protect against I'm going to mix mythology here. During latter DS9 the Dominion ships use a head-mounted display for ship visuals that I'm pretty sure at some point someone mentions Cardassians being more compatible with than humans/bajorans. It's possible that Cardassians, having such compatibility, had independently and previously developed something similar for HUD/Comms interfacing and that's what the TNG 'helmets' were. Why and how they fell out of use between the occupation, TNG, and DS9 is probably something that could be retconned as a TNG era having the Cardassians simply using them in limited capacity for testing purposes before deciding on a full-deployment.

Thank you for taking the time to write this and think it through. They just look like if American football players only wore the most basic facemask, like why bother?

Noam Chomsky posted:That all fits with my understanding of the episode. Great summary. For sure. And in another episode, I think a previous one, when Bashir asks Garak about the truth, since it's always lies and deflections. The clues are all there, scattered like crumbs. I think that episode was written within the context of Garak's philosphy. Though in the wiki synopsis it takes the most direct possible read of it, but I'm not sure if the people that write those are capable of reading subtext. Not throwing shade, it's just the most literal surface level read of what is actually a complex and layered script. Totally fine for a first pass, but for someone who's presumably seen the ep a few times, and has been exposed to these ideas about what was actually going on in the episode?

A wiki synopsis isn't for reading between the lines, it's for recapping what was seen on screen. Edit: I'd be confused if I got book report in the middle of jogging my memory.

Read the memory alpha page, it's very long but deliberately omits certain specifics about what he tells Sisko to say to Vreenak, and what the bio-mimetic gel can be used for. While leaving in many, many other specifics (the line about the telling the Federation spies dying lie is in the 'memorable quotes', but not otherwise noted). Feels to me like the editor(s) don't even want to entertain the notion something more is going on. And I summarized it fine in a single paragraph, I'd hardly call that a 'book report'. With how they explain what happens it would be nothing to add a paragraph to the reception subheader or something.

I don't know the context of the question. But O'Brien is the hero. Period. Of everything.
