Could be other reasons. From a certain point of view, marriage is a relationship killer. It signifies the relationship is no longer about fun and passion and discovery, but about creating a family, committing to a long term economic situation, having your life no longer being about you (if you have kids) and

The screams of the elves keep me up at night.

Again, armchair, but it sounds likely he has been the victim of sexual abuse. The writer alludes to something like that.

yeah, that was one problem I had with DS9. The writers left a lot of things unclear. Another example; After the wormhole was sealed, was the Dominion in the Alpha Quadrant still in touch with the Dominion from the Gamma Quadrant? The founder knows about the sickness in the link. Did she know before hand? Did

OR, the threat could have been so important that they had to send their best man. Plus Sloan had experience with Bashir.m,kli

SPOILERS: They also may have started the Dominion war. Note that the future events of "The Visitor" have the dominion controlling DS( through poxy by the Klingons. But years have passed and it seems like no invasion is coming. At that point, the Founders were content to cut off the Alpha quadrant from the Gamma

Short note: The Dominion is at war with both the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Causing strife within the empire is reason enough on its own; it impacts the Federation because they are allies.

They've been mentioned before…. the episode where Odo thinks Quark is involved with the Orion syndicate and they get stranded and have to climb a mountain.

And as it turns out, the Green Girls are actually the bosses of the syndicate. They use the slave thing as cover.

Because O'Brien isn't considered a big enough deal to be recognized by a random Vorta?

Check your ALL CAPS privilege bro.

Again, Caufield is an anti-war libertarian.

I thought SPOILERS Dukat as pah-wraith cult leader was awesome.

What I would have liked would have been a flashback episode about Dukat on DS9 while the Dominion was kicking ass, showing the complexities of that situation. Although it was always presented that Dukat was eager to get the wormhole open, realisitcally, he shouldn't have been. As long as The dominion was winning,

I was rooting for winona ryder's character in The Crucible. The supposed heroes were interminably stupid. "Surely if we just present the taliban court with more evidence we will see justice!"

I liked it. To me it was very reminiscent of "Der Untergang" seeing a raving mad hitler after he's lost everything. I feel this is actually a pretty authentic development for Dukat, which makes it all the more horrifying.

Strongly disagree. I think the increasingly deranged Dukat is fun to watch. The shame is that they didn't really have the room to give the idea it's full proper treatment.

Hi- Son0fSonofSpock here. Hoping to post first next week, have an essay written for Far Beyond The Stars.

Like literally, my Uncle used to use the privilege argument to defend his racism. I would (as a young teen) call out his racism. He would say, "oh that's easy for you to say, having lived a life in the lilly white suburbs (not actually true but whatever), but i've lived in the hood and I've been to africa and
