@avclub-a1a2d4c37bcf89723258332b069889b0:disqus I suppose in this context, as it's a degree below love, the verb form implies guilt?

And that's how the writers would characterize him too.  I'm one of the defenders of the Dukat arc in the last two seasons because he was always that guy, even if he was also always the guy that was there in seasons 3 and 4.

How do you think I got to the group?

Rereading the Random Roles he said Michael Dorn read for Jackie Chiles?

His dad was on Mission Impossible, so it was probably just another day at Desilu for young Phil.

Siddig has been in lots of things, none of which I've seen.  I was looking forward to Inescapable, but I don't think that played around here.  I should see if it's on Netflix.

SPOILERS and he remains awesome the next time we see him.

Roving reporter Jacopo is on the beat!

I went. I even wore a TOS uniform shirt, command, lieutenant.  "I didn't want to push my luck," besides…Sulu.

Yeah, if one is doing a watchthrough of DS9, it would be best not to watch STID until at least after season six.

Or another Epic Rap Battle of Trekstory?

From TNG on, Trek tried to make main villians the mirror of the Federation.  Eddington compares the Borg to the Federation, the Dominion are a multi-species grouping, and the Xindi were a valid attempt at another mirror.  In that case, the infighting within the Xindi kind of mirrored the road towards cooperation the…

…unless a wall needs cutting.

Of course their celebrity couple portmanteau name would be "Dorf."  They had a video series in the 90s where we see them golfing and fishing and stuff.

As we find out during this arc, (MINOR SPOILERS) Vorta have bad eyes, good hearing.  The brighter lights probably help with their eyesight.

The writers, especially Moore, kind of hated how powerful the phasers were and tried to downplay that.

I feel like a lot of vedeks hanged themselves over the years on the show.  But yeah, it's still quite a wakeup call.

That's almost exactly what Ira Steven Behr said to him when he was cast.  Lieutenant Murtaugh got a promotion!

Yeah, but how does the limited supply of white affect the generation of new Jem'Hadar soldiers?

They changed it because they wanted Terry Farrell to look like Terry Farrell so they did something more subtle by reusing Famke Janssen's makeup.  They actually already had a very similar look anyway, which I kind of thought while watching the X-Men movies.
