I couldn't help being a bit immature with this one. Watch this commercial if you don't get it...


Theme:

I started playing with the color balance, turned the picture sepia...and then this idea happened when I realized it looked like a WWI/WWII picture. Now, this custom isn't seen so much in the States, and is more common in Europe, and I have NO idea what Cardassian tradition would be--but the black ribbon just seemed very fitting.


Random Theme:

American Sign Language for "I love you."

Since I'm watching Season 5 ATM, I haven't seen the Reckoning yet, and hardly any Damar, so I'll only enter in the Random cathegory:

Um, not meaning to sound dense (it's probably too late for that anyway) but what is that?

And welcome to the contest Thor Damar!

I thank you for the kind welcome Wicca Who Wonta. And may I say that I'm liking the Damar Avatars a lot.

is your avatar from "Changing Face?" That is one of the most rousing speeches in all of Trek.

Indeed it is. One of the greatest speeches ever in trek history and the musical accompaniment

What the hell, here is Damar's finest moment(I'm afraid I couldn't find a worthy youtube video. )


"And so two years ago, our government signed a treaty with the Dominion. In it the Dominion promised to extend Cardassia's influence throughout the Alpha Quadrant. In exchange, we pledged ourselves to join the war against the Federation and its allies. Cardassians have never been afraid of war, a fact we've proven time and again over these past two years. Seven million of our brave soldiers have given their lives to fulfill our part of the agreement, and what has the Dominion done in return? Nothing. We've gained no new territories. In fact, our influence throughout the quadrant has diminished. And to make matters worse we are no longer masters in our own home. Travel anywhere on Cardassia and what do you find? Jem'Hadar, Vorta, and now Breen. Instead of the invaders we have become the invaded. Our allies have conquered us without firing a single shot. Well, no longer. This morning detachments of the Cardassian First, Third and Ninth Orders attacked the Dominion outpost on Rondac III. This assault marks the first step towards the liberation of our homeland, from the true oppressors of the Alpha Quadrant. I call upon Cardassians everywhere. Resist. Resist today. Resist tomorrow. Resist till the last Dominion soldier has been driven from our soil!"

correction, I've found one (it's about 07:17 mins in) also check out the Breen subtitles:

As cool as the new film may be, it will never quite match the drama and intrigue or even the irony of scenes like that

yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing the new Trek. However, it seems founded on a gimmick. Not just time travel, but the gimmick that it is a new beginning. The only thing saving it is that, for the public eye, it's back to the iconic characters that define Trek.

However, I find ideas like the Dominion War more interesting. What happens when your enemy's main weapon isn't some cool laser that will deposit a black hole in a planet (like the new film has) but is instead paranoia? Will the values that the Federation holds dear hold up? Or even the Cardassians, once the antagonists, then challenged to become the heroes with such ironic circumstance, and no matter what they do they can never regain their place. That's not only great Trek, but great drama. Sure the new new bridge in the new film might be all shiny and white and Spock and Kirk might not be so friendly, but DS9 went far far deeper into the fabric of Trek and turned it inside out

^That's why I became a Niner!

I hope we get some more Avatars soon especially of the legendary Damar
