No Opaka?

She's only in two episodes. ...Not counting "fake Opaka".

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Garak, Nog, and Keiko.

Same here.

I wish she'd been in more, loved Opaka!

Me too! I was just thinking how the problem with Bajor was the men. Bareil, Shakaar, Li Nalas, Mullibok... it's one dud male character after another. Meanwhile, the female Bajorans are among the best characters in all of Trek... Kira, Ro, Winn.

It's too bad it didn't occur to anyone at the time to make Bajor a matriarchal society. Not to go all "Angel One" with it, just let it matter-of-factly be that way. God knows we had enough casually patriarchal societies.

And just as a tactical matter, there's fewer appealing roles for women (especially then!), so it's easier to get a Louise Fletcher, a high caliber performer who elevates everything she touches. Meanwhile, everyone is after the prime age white-guys (especially then!), so a syndicated sci-fi show without much $ for guest cast really has to dig through the remainder bin when they need to fill those roles...

Love the name and avie! Sakonna should have shown up more than once.

Garak, Dukat and Kassidy Yates.

Watching Sacrifice of Angels right now.

"A true victory is to make your enemy realize they were wrong to oppose you in the first place. To force them to acknowledge your greatness".

Dukat's dialog hits a little too close to home for the last year.

Dukat's dialog hits a little too close to home for the last year.

Yeah, it does. During my rewatch of DS9 during the fall, I saw a lot of similarities between the fictional story and current real life. It was eerie. I should have made notes.

I especially enjoy the other Trek-character-substitutions they find. Armus is Attorney General. Treasury Secretary Daimon Bok. The Health Secretary is the Crystalline Entity (repeal SiskoCare, replace with the dissolving of all carbon-based life).
