@@epicstyle1000 True, he was loyal to Cardassia, and would happily have sacrificed Kira and Odo for it. But, in this case, that loyalty meant needing to get the Breen weapon.
@tombaker8481 No... many people don't care about the casting. Many people care about the intellectually stunted writing, the street gibberish dialogue, the generic often boring ship designs, and the nonsense plot lines. Those actors were cast just fine.
For you DS9 and B5 fans: Gul Rusot is played by actor John Vickery, who also played the character of Neroon on B5. I heard him and thought "hang on, I know that voice". Just connected those dots, after all these years!
Damar was leading a small, desperate resistance cell. Here he was faced with the choice of losing 2 (or 3, if Rusot was going to kill Odo as well) members of that cell, or just 1. He already knew what he had to do. He was hesitating only because of his personal history with Rusot. Rusot's diatribe about wanting to return to the glory days of the empire - the same misguided sentiment that had got the Cardassians into bed with the Dominion in the first place - just made Damar's decision easier.
More than that, he most needed the Federation to over come the Breen weapon, otherwise his resistance would have no hope. So to abandon that mission, would be to abandon all hope.
Andrew Robinson is such a fantastic character actor. From the first Dirty Harry movie all the way to DS9. He really jumps into his acting with BOTH FEET.
Huh.. Just realized.. It was Breen in the engine compartment. Breen are in bio-suits.. So they wouldn't be affected by the gas deployed through the rest of the ship..
Its more than likely that the Breen engineers beamed off the ship once their work was complete leaving just the Jem'hadar behind to operate the vessel.
So did the Cardassians /Dominion not do sensor scans and can detect weapons fire on board a ship like Starfleet can or is them shooting people just so common it comes off as normal.
This was a intelligence ops, just like they had the gas, perhaps they were given a few other gizmos by starfleet intelligence, like a device to send fake sensor reading back.
No.. no we wouldn't. Humans will never get to that point. They will never learn to get past their differences, never yearn to explore the stars, never learn to grow out of authoritarianism and totalitarianism. They can even seem to stop defending it and destroying other people to keep the "comfort" of it.
Yeah didn't they notice she wasn't speaking the dominionese ? 😂😂😂😂😂 😊 The universal translators only help you understand what somebody's saying right? How do they actually translate what you're saying into the other language like this doesn't make sense
A very unrealistic part of this scene is Kira's plan to kill the Jem'Hadar and Breen by flooding the decks of the ship with neurazine gas. Why was the ship designed to allow the release of deadly gas in the first place? Oh silly me - it was done so Kira and her friends had a way of easily killing the ship's crew so they could steal the ship. Now why didn't I think of that? I guess I would never be a good writer for a science fiction TV show. I just don't have the imagination to think of such highly unrealistic scenarios.
That's not a design or plot error, its a space station, ship so has a life support system so gas mixtures and medication would be able to be changed, or altered (Plus you know this is not real life?)
@robba1234 Why would it be designed to allow the release of deadly gas? And why would they have such deadly gas on the ship in the first place? If human engineers designed a building like that and its inhabitants were killed by a release of deadly gas the engineers would be charged with manslaughter. I am well aware it is not real life. That is not the point. It is still supposed to reasonably realistic. Otherwise the writers could have the good guys defeating the bad guys in the most unrealistic ways imaginable. For instance Kira and her team could have directly engaged the Breen and Jem'Hadar with phasers everywhere on the ship and somehow miraculously defeat them all with no harm to Kira's team. Or the omnipotent being Q from TNG could magically appear to get rid of the Breen and Jem'Hadar for them (or Q could even win the war for them with a snap of his fingers). And why not have Q appear to solve every problem they encounter during the entiire series? It would get pretty boring after a while and nobody would want to watch it. A TV show or movie has to be at least reasonably realistic or viewers will find it boring and lose interest.
