I just rewatched "Duet" and even I really really like that episode it brought up some questions.
First of all, it is said that Maritza is taking medication, some because of his age.
Ok...but on the picture from Galitep with Maritza and Gul Da´Heel (not excatly sure how hes written)... we see Maritza as a very young man and the Gul is looking not that much different to how we see Maritza looking as Da´Heel in the cell. Not that much older as on the picture. However when Maritza is taking medication because of his age...and in the picture he is young...than decades must be between the picture and the present. But then Da´Heel would have not looked like Mariza make himself looking, but way older. And when there would not have been so much time inbetween, lets say between 6 and 10 years, as we know Da´Heel died 6 years ago... than maritza must still be middle aged and not old..so why should he take medication because of his age. Or was that only put in his mdeical record for show as well, that people would think him as Da´Heel?
Secondly, he says he would liked to have avoided military service at all.... so as he could not...would that mean that all cardassian males might have to serve for some time in the military (after a basic training maybe)? And then could either go on to the Military Academy for doing Military as a career or go to some other Academy when they dont want the Military as the Career?
Like Gehemor said he was 18 on Bajor, that would be young to be all ready done with school and the Military Academy? I mean when we have finsihed school we are around 18 and then start with University. As the education system, even when they start all ready at 4, is said to be so good I would doubt thed be done with general schol so early that at 18 one could all ready be done with the Military Academy as well. So you think all males have to serve the Military for a year or 2 or 3.... much like it is here, that at one point in life the Military gets to look over all the boys (unless you have at least 2 older brothers who served, than the third boy has not to be looked over)... and when you are sitable you have to serve? Well of course here its so you also can say from the begining you dont want too, but then you have to serve for a year in some social service. Doubt that would be a possibility for Cardassians, with that few freedoms they have.
And than I wondered, if Maritza would not have been murdered at the end... and would have gone back into cardassian space.... would he not be seen as a traitor and executed there? I mean he tried to bring Cardasia to accept its guilt...and Dukat, as he spoke with Odo, knew of the happenings.
Oh and somethin else, not from Duet, but I dont wanna open a new tread for that...Natima has that spoon shape thing also on her upper part of her body has she not? Cause the lady Damar his with in..uhm..Till death do us apart (?) do not has that sppon thing above her breats. Was she not totally Cardasian or was that just forgotten, as its cheaper to just paint her grey and not have such details?
