Focused on different characters this time - my friend Glenn (lostitforever), who introduced me to the show, in particular requested some Gul Dukat.
I think Gul Dukat's wholehearted resistance to accepting Kira's hatred of him comes from a couple places ...
1) Cardassians flirt via argument. Kira telling him to fuck off just seems feisty to him.
2) Dukat can't really wrap his head around the idea that ANYONE doesn't think he's awesome. I love him in "Waltz", all "so Sisko, now that we're alone and you don't have your crew around to pretend for, let's talk about how great you think I am!".
3) Kira is hot.
Heh, ok, this one needs a bit of explanation. When Dukat's dicking around with Kai Winn in the last season and gets blinded by the Bajoran Necronomicon, Winn kicks him out onto the street ... and then he re-enters the plot a few episodes later, fixed up and ready to continue the dicking. This picture was inspired by the following question - why were we, their loyal viewing public, denied the undoubtedly hilarious adventures of blind hobo Dukat? I know they had a lot to cover at that point in the show, but IMO, they could've jettisoned a lot of the Ezri/Bashir fluff, given that time over to Gul Dukat living in a dumpster, and made a much more entertaining use of everyone's time.
The harmonica is just silliness - obviously Dukat would be a stabbing hobo.
Watched "Ferengi Love Songs" (lol, Brunt's in the closet), and my brother requested a picture of Quark as a kid, playing with his Marauder Mo action figures. Oh, wee!Quark - the resale value on those things is going to be nil if you insist on denting them with Rom's head.
I think Quark would do a lot of bitching about Guinan's crazy not charging for drinks, synthehol peddling ways.
PS - Guinan is a Time Lord, y/y?
The Sisko's gonna punch some cube.
Deep Space 9 has changed how I see the Borg battle in "First Contact" considerably. Before, I just accepted the Defiant's presence as the obligatory "get Worf back in" device and didn't think anything more of it. Upon a post-DS9 rewatch, my response turned into "they sent the Defiant to fight Borg SANS SISKO?! Blasphemy!". I'm not 100% on how the Next Gen/DS9 timelines match up - is Sisko chilling with the Prophets at that point? That's just about the only explanation I can think of to explain him not showing up to murderalize the everloving hell out of some Borg, possibly just with the sheer force of his mighty punches and all around badassery.
Did I mention that the Sisko is My Captain? The Kirk vs Picard debate is just so much jostling for second place.
