Was there a bigger ass to step on to DS9 than

They would have tried, but with no new source of ketrucel white, they would have died in a few weeks. And with no brain to guide them and no fists to impose their will, the Vorta would have posed little threat.
Villians are not the only who need apply.
I love that they doubled down on this in Star Trek Online. It was one of the few story beats from that game I appreciate.
Do you know how many people they could have killed in a few weeks?
The original question wasn't "villains" it was the biggest ass.
He couldn't talk about anything except how great he was and how great his planets were.
I don't like the nonsensicalness of this episode. The changeling looks like she's only a couple of days from death and presumably her whole people as well but she's preparing for a blockade that could have lasted for years. That doesn't make any sense. Just wait long enough for the changeling to croak and in absence of leadership the Jemadars won't know what to do. They'll probably kill the Vorta out of frustration and then each other...
True but on the other hand he seemed rather sympathetic his self-praising was sort of a recurring joke that he laughed about almost each time he did it and he didn't seem disdainful of other people. Plus he killed himself to free his wife. That's very grand of him. all in all I kinda liked the guy.
Did it really require the founders to make the Ketracel White? I thought the Vorta, possibly with some technicians of some sort, could operate the factories that made it. The Vorta would probably have been just as eager to take as much of the Alpha Quadrant with them as they died as the Jem Hadar, aside from occassional defective clones like Keevan.
Hard to say. I wonder if the Dominion knows how to induce a star to go supernova. They could potentially kill everyone in several star systems all at once.
And then there were their biogenic weapons, though they would probably have to be one planet at a time.
If a Klingon can destroy a planet's biosphere in thirty seconds.
He tried to joke about his egocentricity, but there was too much truth in it to really be funny. In my opinion.
Agreed.
I guess there's no reason to stop a genocide.

I have a hard time feeling any sympathy for the changelings given all that they did. Tailor-made plagues that torture and keep in squalor entire planets for centuries! They designed sapient species for the sole purpose of being kamikaze fighters, species designed without any kind of appreciation for art or harmless fun. We saw for example how the young jemadar wanted to kill everyone that crossed his path that wasn't a Jemadar or a founder without any other kind of prompting than what's written in his genome. Only something akin to pond scum would design such things. In many ways, the changelings are even worse than the borg.
I would have liked to see both Eris and Kilana in more episodes.
I see some of your points here.
But I would have had more understanding for The Founders if they had stayed in their part of space and not tried to conquer the rest of the galaxy in order to enslave and eradicate the hated "solids".
+1 for Kai Winn.
The female changeling wasn't really an ass, she was just evil. Totally different kettle of fish. Weyoun comes close for sheer smugness and arrogance, but Winn takes it for me. I'm currently on season 4 of my rewatch and Dukat is actually quite likeable at this point, so he avoids making the list. But Winn is never likeable.
