      The facts are that Cardassians are ruthless, devious, xenophobic, and savage.
      That said, their matched ability, dexterity, intelligence, and confidence makes them able to solve situations where most others can’t. This scene alone perfectly demonstrates this - something I took away from it when I first saw it (30 yrs ago).
      I personally think that if it wasn’t for the Garak and DuKat characters, DS9 could have easily had flopped. That’s how influential those two were.

      It's an interrogation technique. He says 15, you think you have time to lie or talk your way out of it. He cuts the time to 10 (he always meant 3.) This is a problem because you were crafting a 12 second lie. It will take more than the 2 seconds you really have. You panic and the lie goes out the window. You submit.
      Counting to 3 seems unreasonable and is too much of an ultimatum, people will just refuse out of defiance. You want them to put down their 'rifle' (defiance) and pick up a 'shovel' (delay) thinking they can gaffe you off and rhetorically entrench themselves. Now they have a shovel, as you attack with a rifle. Shovels get dropped in the face of rifles.

    Sisko was still maturing in his new command position at the time. Also he spent several years away from being on a starship.
    I believe he also learned from this episode from Dukat and Cal Hudson, it made him colder and tougher which helped him in his future interactions with the Dominion, Klingons & Dukat later on.
    On an acting point, later on after this he brought some of that Hawk character into his Sisko character as well, which was needed too.

      Dukat the villain, Garak the anti-hero made for a great series. Garak was a true Cardassian patriot who cared about his people who understood right away how terrible it would be for them to be living under the thumb of the Dominion. It took Damar quite a long time to realize this (and millions of dead Cardassians in the war), but eventually he did. Garak was brave and would do whatever it took to defeat the Dominion, that including murdering Vreenak. Dukat on the other hand was selfish, a complete coward, a collaborator who sold out his people for power among many other things that made him completely irredeemable from the start. Yes he was intelligent, charming and a great speaker and actor but when you dig deep and see him for who he really is, it's just complete, true evil.

      but it coulda been played really ham-fisted. Instead, Alaimo plays Dukat as respecting Sisko but KNOWING he knows the right way to handle this and has an advantage being a Cardassian of his rank. And at the end, I honestly don’t really see smugness. I see someone with the exact right skillset for the situation being shut out of a leadership role, and feeling validated to be able to prove his worth. He was proud of himself, but I always saw him more nuanced than just smug. He played at zero modesty about his skills, but he enjoyed being among other top tier people as well. I think Dukat was collaborative, he just was mystified when people would not give him his due, or judged him “unfairly.” This scene is brilliant bc he defers to Sisko, in a way, by modifying his idea. But as an equal, he steps in and solves the problem that Sisko is kinda getting nowhere with. And at the end, he and Sisko genuinely smile at each other, Sisko’s not even mad, he’s like “nice job!” That’s why I wish they would have kept him more of a nuanced villain. He and Sisko had a GREAT dynamic.

    Dukat was a good character. Such a shame the writers eventually killed him completely by making him contradict himself so often. In the end, he said he wanted to kill all Bajorans and that he should've done that long ago, which is idiotic. He had a Bajoran wife, and Kira's mother was his girlfriend for a while. He cried at his wife's tomb and Kira saw it.
    And one moment he leaves his daughter on DS9 to die, but in a later episode he suddenly loves her again and says he 'overreacted'. And just like that, Ziyal just accepts that explanation! Nonsense.
    There was also an episode in which he was acting insane to Kira (way before he literally went insane). Then the next episode he and Kira sit next to each other on a sofa looking at Ziyal's art and getting along fairly well. Later he's even being nice to Kira and acting like he doesn't know why she doesn't want to be around him. Yeah, that previous episode must not have happened... right.
    And then he sides with the Pah-wraiths, who apparently want to kill everybody on Bajor. So... Dukat suddenly condones genocide now.
    This weirdness from the first few seasons to the last just devalues his whole story. And then there's the fact that ST DS9 started basically calling the Prophets gods and agreeing to everything they say, believing they need to follow their path... dafuq. What happened to rationality?

      Not a bad bit of character dynamic on your part, indeed I can't disagree with it. I will say that much of Dukat's actions with the Pai Wraith did feel contrived and forced. He was much more interesting as an opposing commander than a personification of evil.

      Tobias Walker True! I certainly hoped for him to grow more into the role of antihero.

His devolution into an evil character just made his acts in the beginning of the show lose value, IMO. Nice to hear somebody agrees.

      ***** You're right about Dukat, his evolution made sense. He always was an egomaniac and an opportunist. That doesn't mean he didn't love Ziyal, or his Bajoran mistresses. At the end he went crazy because he'd lost everything, his family when he went on the run, Ziyal when she died and eventually his power and the respect of those around him. His power seeking remained part of his character, but he lost everything he cared about and thus his restrained. When you think about it, he's the most tragic character of all of them. What made DS9 so great was that though they while over the seasons, everyone remained true to the core of their character. No one made a complete personality change, which makes sense because life doesn't work that way. Even Damar, he was a patriot through and through, and so was Garak, they just showed it differently.

      Thing is, Mark Alaimo played him with such skill and charisma that you couldn't help but find him magnetic....which is exactly what you need when portraying a classic psychopath.

      Dukat was never an anti-hero. He was a horrible slave driver who worked many Bajorans to their death.

      @ramibaghdadi1255 5 лет назад +1

      He was never an anti-hero, probably just after he became prefect he despised the Bajorans and wishes he killed them all. The thing is he was a complete coward on the inside who tried to bury this secret in his mind for years until he finally admitted it to himself. Yes on the surface he was intelligent, charming, a great speaker and actor who had the ability to hoodwink people into thinking he really cared about them when obviously he didn't. He despised Bajorans precisely because they didn't love him, didn't worship him as their messiah the way the did Sisko. Due to his selfish arrogance and belief in his own superiority he needs his subjects to love him. Every moment he lived in absolute fear of Bajorans and anyone else he saw as a threat to his power (that includes Garak). He feared them because no matter how many people he killed he was always paranoid looking for the one person, one day who could kill him. There were numerous assassination attempts against him. Because of his fear that lead to anger, hatred, bigotry/racism, killing and genocide. Same thing applies to the Female Changeling, it started with deep fear of Damar's Cardassian uprising because she correctly surmised it would cause the Dominion to lose the war; she didn't fear Gowron's Klingon attacks.

    • @matthewvalenti1348
      @matthewvalenti1348 9 лет назад

      How did Sisko "cheat?" Are you referring to "In The Pale Moonlight?" Because while the ship wasn't supposed to be blown up, it's completely true that one senator, a conscience and such is worth sacrificing for the entire quadrant. Besides, "cheating" as you so put it is a common war tactic.

      TheDemoTube Not sure if you've noticed, yet, but cameras in our phones (and others) have been able to track faces for a while now... DS9 is 2370-something, so I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and not call it a blooper or oversight that their view-screen camera might be set to "intelligently" track the alien captain. :)

      If the camera is equipped with face tracking technology or something similar then what are the criteria for the tracking. Its not keeping his face centered nor at a constant distance, it varies constantly, so unless their face tracking software has a "cinematic" mode, this dude has a director and cameraman on his cargo ship.

    • @Anchyml
      @Anchyml 6 лет назад

      Maybe it has a sort of "negotiations" mode where it allows him to move around and stuff or maybe he pre-programmed his camera with this movement so he can impress people in video trasmissions, but no one notices...
