Also, the IG-88 that ended up in the second Death Star shut the turbolift door in the Emperor's face when he came by to visit. Which is just amusingly dickish.

Duplicate O'Briens, on the other hand, seem to get along well enough, at least til one of them winds up dead.

At first I thought your username was 'Legate Kanar.' I suppose in a sense it is?

Oh hi, Colonel. Why don't you go meet with your aide, Major Rakal - oh, wait.

Well, maybe they shouldn't have used glass for the eyeslit, then this whole mess wouldn't have happened!

Thank you, Zack. You've done an excellent job with these reviews.

THE AV CLUB COMMENTS SECTION
It's also just fun to write

In principle, conquering/forcing the surrender of the Alpha Quadrant (and taking control of the entire scientific resource base of the Quadrant) might've allowed development of a cure - and, of course, it's not until Odo links with the Founder that she knows there can be - that there in fact is - a cure. Section 31…

Now, now, Elim's an old, retired man. Surely, he had nothing to do with Romulus's unfortunate demise. It must be coincidence that he has some of the only remaining examples of a number of rare flowering plants native to that doomed planet, blooming in the garden he tends.

I find it kind of interesting that TNG's gimmick commentators were generally mostly on the production side, while DS9's gimmick commentators are - er, were, I suppose - more often in-universe characters.

The books (well, to be more specific, Una McCormack's The Never-Ending Sacrifice, which is one of the good ones) also say she wasn't part of the Detapa Council - that her more radical wing of the Cardassian dissident movement was shunted aside.

Dukat already played rebel before - even offered Kira a chance to fight for the Cardassian people, back in 'Return to Grace.' But ultimately, he's too self-serving to have Damar's role.

To be fair… Opaka, being the spiritual leader of Bajor rather than the head of the Provisional Government, could avoid being held responsible for the inevitable political compromises and problems that cropped up.

I'm certain you were right at least once - I don't quite remember which, but I seem to recall us commenters discussing it in the comments once.

I can see the case for it. I think there's even a case for 'By Inferno's Light' alone. Apart from everything else, I like Ziyal and Kira's conversation on the promenade - "Everyone has their reasons - that's what's so terrifying. People can find a way to justify any action, no matter how evil."

Eh, 'lizard' in the same sense of calling Russians 'bears.' I don't think it's necessarily offensive.

Mercenary flags? Hell, that might've been an interesting way to show Starfleet's desperation in 'In The Pale Moonlight', or in the face of the Breen.

Actually, I'm not even sure Thot Pran has a mother.
