Have you ever seen the original Hellraiser?  Robinson is pretty loathsome in that as well - he just does the type well I guess.

@avclub-22eda830d1051274a2581d6466c06e6c:disqus  - that's OK if you're going for a sort of milquetoast response. I think if you really want to show that you mean business though, the appropriate comment would have been "Taken is the worst idea that's ever been put to any form of media in the history of civilization,…

Maybe tarnishing isn't the right word - but it certainly creates an air of ambiguity around someone who would otherwise have always been viewed as having the moral upper hand (ie. a Bajoran fighting against a Cardassian occupier).

I also thought "The Collaborator" was boring upon first watch, but seeing it again it grew on me. Bareil has a clear and interesting motivation that actually fits his character very well (he seems like the type who would love to be a quiet martyr) and tarnishing Kai Opaka was a good move.
