That also had a great little pair of lines: Kira says "I'll get over it.  Death and I are old friends," and then Dax suggests Kira invite Death to dinner.

Why didn't O'Brien hit his shoulder during the Klingon bachelor party in YACI?

But Kirk and Enterprise is better.

They'd've conquered the Cardassians if Sisko hadn't meddled!  Of course, our Martok wasn't present for that one.

Better explanation for why the Duras sisters worked through a proxy would've been that only one member of a House could be on the Council at once, and that the Duras sisters decided they'd rather work through a proxy than break up their friendship.  Plus, that'd make Duras's doofy son the target of assassination…

Hey, if @avclub-0c3e626d1a287cdc48c77515c8dcc243:disqus  pays, why complain?
I think I'll try a Samarian Sunset.

Dax + Riker?

Someone's got to serve the kanar, no?  I'd hate to imagine a Cardassian being worse at social interaction than some holographic substitute.  I would think that a Cardassian could recognize that maintaining a well-lubricated society is a vital service for the State.

Very little in normal reality

Well, the Russians tried that approach back in the 2002 Moscow Theater hostage crisis, and they couldn't get the right dosage of knockout gas, leading to a good number of injured/dead hostages.  Sure, Trek-tech's better… but they also have to deal with species variances, which has got to make it a lot harder to work…

Crossover takes the mirror-verse the most seriously.

Last point- that would've been a much more interesting episode.  Hell, if they just had mirror-Kira cross over (and stay over) -> no guest stars, and they could keep using mirror-Kira if they felt like it.

I liked that, too - I mean, Jadzia clearly put some time, some energy, some research into putting together that calculated insult of a telling of the History of the House of Martok.  If you're going to insult your future mother-in-law-[ish; Sirella isn't Mogh's wife, after all], go all out - tell her to her face that…

@avclub-0bac5746aa760492dbce3d5dfd26ab9c:disqus I'm afraid that Cardassians seem to have a reputation for complexity, deception, and the like, one that too many others simply won't appreciate.  A manual for Cardassian courtship couldn't just be a manual, and while a Cardassian would be inclined to take that as all the…

@avclub-0bac5746aa760492dbce3d5dfd26ab9c:disqus Who would trust a clear and simple guide to Cardassian courtship?  Perhaps you should embed your advice into a novel instead.  Then again, if you'd make this sort of elementary conceptual mistake, perhaps you're not quite ready to be a writer in the first place?

Piece of script?

AVClub memetic answer: Dawes.

Considering the Vorta have no sense of aesthetics, they'd only be able to tell if you're serving poisoned kanar - as opposed to discerning between six-slip slop and proper fish juice.  It's not the least clever attempt at cheating one's customers I've seen… but it does…

With the relief fleet, the Dominion will win the war.  But will Cardassia win, unless the Cardassians can show that they were essential to bringing down the minefield?  I'm sure Dukat would much rather the relief fleet arrive to mop up the remnants of the Federation attack than for the Jem'Hadar to have to save the…

Why would Dukat have wanted to have to rely on the relief fleet to win the day?
