I've read claims that the writers didn't like how popular Dukat was as a fascist so they went out of their way to dirty him with the cult plot line and such. IDK if that's verified though The last episode's Dukat part is shonen-tier </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
Aressar 09/14/23 12:50:14 PM #44:	[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Yeah, I was seriously expecting Dukat to exact revenge on Damar at some point, but the next time they see each other after it happened, Dukat is just like "eh, water under the bridge". Sure, he'd gone completely insane by then, but still. --- One time, CE triggered me so hard with their objectively wrong opinions that I accidentally punched myself in the balls. <cite>Aressar posted [p:976061331] in Deep Space...

I've read claims that the writers didn't like how popular Dukat was as a fascist so they went out of their way to dirty him with the cult plot line and such. IDK if that's verified though That's another thing that always bothered me. Despite the fact that Dukat became completely mentally unstable by the end, the way how he suddenly decided to became a pagh-wraith worshipper kind of came out of nowhere. Like, the only motivation I can think of there is that he wanted to punish Sisko and oppress the Bajorans, but even in that regard his cultism is pretty far-fetched if you consider the rest of his character arc. --- One time, CE triggered me so hard with their objectively wrong opinions that I accidentally punched myself in the balls. <cite>Aressar posted [p:976061444] in Deep Space...

Many transport ships in the universe are rather old and slow warp wise. Even fewer are combat ready. <cite>Link_of_time posted [p:976066609] in Deep Space...

Like, the only motivation I can think of there is that he wanted to punish Sisko and oppress the Bajorans, but even in that regard his cultism is pretty far-fetched if you consider the rest of his character arc. Dukat as cult leader made perfect sense to me. His only real motivation beyond power for its own sake was for the people around him to recognize how special and what a genius he was. For him, it was more important to convince Sisko he was right than it was to actually beat him. In that context, a cult where he is worshipped is the perfect place for him. The connection to the Pah-Wraiths was just a means to an end for what he really wanted-everyone to worship him. DS9 had a lot of great storylines, but this was probably the one that was least well executed. But to me the concept actually made a lot of sense when Dukats extreme narcissism is taken into account. Has there ever been a show with a deeper bench is fantastic supporting characters? Dukat, Nog, Rom, Eddington, Garrack-who is one of the best characters in Trek history, and was not even in the main cast! --- An opinion does not turn into a fact simply because the person holding it feels strongly about it. <cite>Westernwolf4 posted [p:976066919] in Deep Space...
