FLAGGED FOR ANTI-SHARKISM

"Waltz" is a great episode, but it definitely marks the turning point when the writers are trying to turn Dukat from a multi-faceted, often sympathetic villain into a one-dimensional crazy-evil monster of Satanic proportions.

I agree with this, except for the part about the Klingons mopping the floor with anybody. Klingons are big and hairy and scary, sure… but for some reason, by the time we get to TNG/DS9 era, everyone else has laser guns and the Klingons are running at them with… swords and knives.

Ehhhhh, not really. "Blood Oath" only ever worked for me because of the Klingons - Dax herself is a huge, huge weak spot in it, on multiple levels. First, as Zack rightly points out, Terry Farrell simply can't sell this kind of plot - every scene that requires serious acting out of her seems limp and forced in a way…

As a straight guy, I have to say that (1) I am really tired of the endless rating and re-rating of any and all women as objects to be fucked; it's really, really gross and skeevy and alienating; (2) this is not how all men talk, in public or in private; some guys are just pigs.
