You are a prisoner of war (or just a prisoner)

[Photon]

Based on the knowledge Trek bad guys, which race would you NOT want to be held by?
Klingons?
Romulans?
Cardassians?
Jem'Hadar?

My thinking would be the Cardassians. I think the Romulans would treat one the more humanely, except for those mind-thingys.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Romulans - brrr.

 

[T J]

Cardassians. First thing they do is yank out a tooth and then the torture begins, the other races don't seem to enjoy it as much as the Cardassians.

 

[PKTrekGirl]

Cardassians. They LIKE torturing people.

 

[JiNX-01]

No. Please. Not the Cardassians! They torture prisoners.(Picard)
Klingons just pack you off to Rura Penthe (Kirk, McCoy and Archer)
Romulans send you to the spice mines of Remus (Shinzon)
Jem Hadar just follow the orders of their gods. If the shapeshifters don't hate you too much, you're ok.

Cardassians

True, but they make you fight your ass off in wrestling matches.

That's still not as bad as being strapped to a chair and tortured (or worse, being tortured to death in front of your 5 year old kid (Ro Daddy).

 

[Who_Trek]

Cardassians. All that talking would drive me crazy. Didn't Garek say something about torturing someone by staring at them for hours and hours? Or was that in the DS9-R books?

Oh definitely. If I had to choose, I'd probably choose just about anyone but the Cardassians.

 

[Jaro Stun]

I think I'd be most scared of being a prisoner on Cardassia...these ppl really enjoy torture...

And if I had to choose, I think I'd preffer Romulans, they seem to be the most civilized of all listed races.

They do seem to have a knack for torture (physically and mentally), but the tooth extraction alone is enough to make me want to avoid any sort of run-in with the Cardassians (I have a huge fear of dentists).

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Cardassians, not a very nice bunch.

The Dominion on the other hand would be jam and scone fest.

 

[captcalhoun]

Cardies.

At least with the Klingons you can appeal to their honour and try talking your way out.

 

[Orintho]

Cardassians.

Although life would definitely not be pleasant under Klingons, Romulans, or Jem'Hadar, we saw depictions where prisoners could survive intact. Although with the Jem'Hadar, who knows what the Changlings and Vorta would want with you.

Actually Garak and Enabran Tain discussed this in the third-season episode The Die Is Cast.

 

[Mallory]

Anyone but the Cardassians. Anyone.

 

[Katrine]

Another vote for Cardassians.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

As long as you cooperate, sure! Do you prefer fripple berry or kava nut flavor jam?

Ditto. Romulans would be a close second.
