It would have been nice if in the end Dukat would have been a good guy like Damar.
I agree with Visitor. Kira vowed to kill Dukat, and she's someone who carries out her vows.The Dukat-Winn pairing always worked for me, because they were the two O.G villains of DS9 right back to the first season. It made sense to bring them together for the run-in.
It's an interesting dynamic and they're two fantastic actors. Winn's hatred of the Cardassians is genuine, as is her revulsion when she discovers who "Anjol" really is.
But then she decides she hates Sisko and the Federation even more, which goes back to the Circle arc, where she and Jaro were also unwittingly being exploited by the Cardassians.
The only slight sadness is that they had just as great a history with Kira, and it's a shame she couldn't have been worked into that thread. Nana Visitor always said she was sad that Kira wasn't the one who got to kill Dukat.
True, she typically does.I agree with Visitor. Kira vowed to kill Dukat, and she's someone who carries out her vows.
Which is the main reason why I can accept Dukat's transformation in season 7.I never had a problem with Dukat's transformation. He does see himself as the greatest leader of the Bajoran people, and even says so to Weyoun. He has a twisted view of both reality and himself and Waltz just showcases all the different beliefs cycling in his head.
Him going nuts, especially after Waltz and Ziyal's death, seems inevitable. I have no issue with it. I think it hems closer to realistic for people in Star Trek to eventually go crazy rather than just soldiering on as if nothing traumatic has ever happened to them.
They were a brainwashed cult. Even when there’s evidence he’s lying and abusing women, they still excuse him. Faith and groupthink are powerful forces - look at Jonestown.True, but those other Bajorans were idiots... Dukat was vastly outnumbered, and all they could was stand far away and yell at him? Not only did he dupe all of them, he was in charge of the Occupation for a decade! SOMEBODY should have tried to kill him.
Truly, the Bajorans looked weak and stupid here.
Agreed about the cults. It's one of the main reasons why I have such an issue with religions in general.They were a brainwashed cult. Even when there’s evidence he’s lying and abusing women, they still excuse him. Faith and groupthink are powerful forces - look at Jonestown.
I would love to see Dukat turn up in some future Star trek series.I wonder if Dukat is dead dead or if he's jamming with the Pah Wraiths. An eternity in whatever that entails might not be something he'd enjoy, which is nice.
Look up diffusion of responsibility.True, but those other Bajorans were idiots... Dukat was vastly outnumbered, and all they could was stand far away and yell at him? Not only did he dupe all of them, he was in charge of the Occupation for a decade! SOMEBODY should have tried to kill him.

He was only doing what he thought best for himself and Cardassia.Dukat became a more evil person than Khan imo.
Just a thought...
I just did... and I stand by what I said. They looked weak and stupid.Look up diffusion of responsibility.
Dukat always only did what he thought was best for himself. Even when he used the captured Bird of Prey, it was only to regain his name, power, and glory. And precisely why he joined the Dominion in Cardassia's name. Otherwise, he would have simply let someone else be in charge of the Cardassian government while he took care of the actual war.He was only doing what he thought best for himself and Cardassia.
That's humans/Bajorans for you.I just did... and I stand by what I said. They looked weak and stupid.
