No.

I think part of the problem was that they also made him "Wesley Crusher, but everyone on the show hates him too" which becomes even more irritating when you combine it with the nitpicking tendency you mentioned.

I don't know who you are, sir, but you are most certainly not Jonathan Frakes. According to his bio, he's been happily married since 1988, and I sincerely doubt he has an encyclopedic knowledge of all manner of fine liqueurs, recreational pharmaceuticals, and illicit sex acts.

Didn't Doggett actually die at least twice?

I always liked the way Kubrick did it in The Shining. Scatman Crothers dies first, but he dies two hours into the movie, and it shocks the audience, since it completely discards the "he's gonna get the shining and come save everyone" plot they were expecting. He also got a character too, which always helps.

Rather appropriately, the MLP franchise is fueled by horse puns. Just look at the titles of all the episodes of MLP:FiM and you'll see what I mean.

The more I think about it, the more I think Sakonna should count herself lucky that the mind meld didn't work. Given all we know of Dukat's personality, worldview, and self-image, I would not want to step inside his head. It probably looks like the cover of a terrible sword-and-sorcery novel from the '70s in there,

That didn't bother me that much. If you want to get really fanwanky about it, you could say it was influenced by his time as Benny Russell, who had to deal with that shit on a daily basis. Personally, I just see it as one of those things that struck a nerve with Sisko but no one else, like how I hate Call of Duty:

Kinda makes sense though. If you can be anything, does that mean you are, at heart, fundamentally nothing? Nothing breeds overreaction and extremism like the fear of nihilism.

I always imagined it to be a lot like socialist realist literature. If you come to it with traditional ideas of what novels are supposed to be, it will be intensely terrible. But if you understand it in the context of the society that produced it, and what that society expects literature to be, then…well, it won't
