Hello hi yes I would in fact, betray the ENTIRE federation for this man and this man only, for I am hypnotised by him...

Lord have mercy I'd fall immediately

why are vorta cloned but jem'hadar bred?

The Dominion needs far fewer Vorta than Jem'hadar, so Vorta can be hand-crafted, but Jem'hadar need to be mass-produced.

The Defiant is great because it is so obviously a bunch of people who only vaguely understand the concept of a war building a warship.

Romulans and Klingons and the Dominion: If I don't perfect this project to improve our weapons after years of research I'll be killed.

Blissfully Ignorant Scientist on Mars: “Guns? Guns and it Goes Fast! Man this war stuff is really easy, who wants Pizza?”

Changelings: "Do you see how the Solids respond with such fear and hatred to our aggressively expansionistic, totalitarian Changeling-supremacist slave-empire? It's because they hate us for absolutely no reason!"

Changelings: "In fact, we're going to launch our children off to be freaks and outsiders in Solid society so that every new generation of us can remember how awful the Solids are!"

the Jem’Hadar make me mad because we could’ve gotten “a system that holds the necessities of survival over your head to guarantee obedience is not a just or fair system” but instead we got “drug addicts are evil”

Who wins in an all-out conflict

The Borg enter the Gamma Quadrant and are met with resistance from the Dominion, but is it so futile? What happens when the two greatest threats to the federation in the TNG-Era of Star Trek face off? Discussion encouraged.

Ds9, the die is cast.

Trust garak to quote Shakespeare (“the fault, dear Tain, is not in our stars but ourselves” from julius Caesar) when his ship is being attacked 😂

I mean, as an English teacher, I approve!

They replaced the original Vorta NPC in the "Boldly They Rode" Dominion missions with Weyoun. I like this version way better, and it's such a delight to hear Jeffrey Combs playing Weyoun again. They also brought Salome Jens onboard to voice the Female Founder too.

But Cryptic really needs to get rid of the NPC voiceover bugs that crop up during the cutscenes. Ditto with the Garak voiceovers.

so before it was decided that odo was a founder, who were the founders? were the founders as a category made up to give odo back story? if so, was there an alternative structure for the dominion envisaged?

Odo came first. He was always a shapeshifter. As we were figuring out the Dominion, one of the first things we thought of was "What if Odo's people ran the Dominion?"

So there was never an alt. The main consideration was how fast to reveal that the Founders were changelings.

"One Little Ship" (S06E14, Stardate 51474.2) is a solid comedy episode that has some real ticking clock elements. There is a fresh take on two old school tropes (ship taken over, shrunk) and we get to see the crew working together while showing some real cracks in the Dominion armor.

It was going to be too easy to get bogged down in details for this poster so I stuck with focusing on the title, replacing a letter with the Rubicon.

The thing is that the writers of Deep Space Nine created the Jem'Hadar to subvert what they had come to think of as the Star Trek cliché of enemies seeming less frightening the more that you know about them (e.g., Hugh putting a cute and cuddly face on the Borg on TNG). But like...I don't think that this is a trope that urgently needed to be subverted? Like, I don't think that the risk in war situations is "people thinking that their enemies are too human." And I don't think that creating an entire race of, essentially, drug-addicted crack-babies and then revealing that they're actually irredeemably violent superpredators is a bold, deconstructive stance for a pop culture franchise to take in Clinton-era America.
