And where does Damar fit into all of this?

NOT AVAILABLE ON CARDASSIA PRIME

Then Ron Fucking Swanson eats them both.

It is a mustache of raw power stripped of intent. We know not whether it will be used for good or ill, so it cannot be accounted for, and it is ever-present, bringing either blessing or damnation, and we know not which!

"That's what's most damning of all."

I was also reminded of Mr. Croupe and Mr. Vandemar from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere.

For a mirror of Quark's temptation, look at B5's Londo arc, which manages to find some manner of redemption at the end, but never lets him off the hook. However, Shimmerman sells it, and I think I can live with that.

I wouldn't call it a secret pleasure, but it is pleasantly unexpected!

To be fair, the crew of the Enterprise had to have been absolutely insufferable to Worf, and it's only a sick kind of Stockholm syndrome that caused him to look even remotely favorably on any of them. They were always shooting down his ideas, belittling his contributions, forcing him to "enjoy" holodeck adventures in…

I miss the days when I recognized the names in the by-lines.
