Know the thread’s moved into Discovery territory again but wanted to comment on the recent DS9 talk. I’m a little surprised to see people not be fans of Dukat’s S7 antics. He clearly had a Savior complex, and it seemed logical for him to take the recent Bajoran strife as a personal opportunity. It’s obvious he’s not 100% back to normal, especially given how mad he goes in “Waltz” again.
I admit him disguising himself as Bajoran is is a bit of a stretch, but the rest of the plotline makes up for it. I loved seeing him manipulate a certain Kai.
Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion of course, but of all the sloppiness there is in S7, Dukat is not where my complaints lie.
Sure. I just didn’t care much for that angle and I don’t think it fit his character. I also felt like they couldn’t decide if they wanted him to be a devout believer or just an exploitative asshole, but they insisted on the former and it didn’t totally line up with his antics. I also thought the whole thing with Kira’s mother developing Stockholm Syndrome for Dukat with her husband’s permission (which I know predates Season 7) along with Dukat getting his disciple pregnant in Season 7 was pretty sloppy and just plain weird.
