especially the lies

Culturally significant forbidden candy

It’s important to me that Dukat is one of the ultimate failures of cardassian masculinity. He is NOT militarily competent, he is NOT charming, he is NOT a good liar, he is NOT loyal, he is Not actually ruthless, he is NOT a commanding father, he is NOT filial, he is NOT even good at his own agenda. He is the Andrew Tate of cardassian men. Emulates it without executing it or understanding it

It’s so funny how like. Spock is queer bc of the subtext, the Otherness inextricable from his character, meanwhile William Shatner was handed the straightest man of all time on paper and fumbled the bag bc he couldn’t stop giving Leonard Nimoy fuck-me eyes and now he lives in a bi Kirk hell of his own devising, forever enduring the conshatquences of his shactions

The clerks overseeing applications for entrance to Cardassia were suprised to see a Federation captain request one, but after they realized all the Human wanted to do was to take Dukat's sons to the amusement park in Lakarian city, they granted him the visa and and recommended the best rides to go on.

just watched a star trek episode about a planet that relied so heavily on it's computer system that they all forgot the basics of their own knowledge. and that allowed them to miss the fact that they were being posioned with radiation and nearly ending their civilization. because they couldn't use their own knowledge to figure things out. i bring this up for no reason in particular
