After making plain he despises Cardassians and was horrified that Rugel played with his daughter, he's then trying to explain the very opposite to Rugel on why he shouldn't hat himself is great stuff π
Damn I wish there was an Blu Ray version of this like TNG I'd buy it in a second
@artemisapphire.bsky.social @storanorrland.bsky.social
Rewatching DS9 and my God the writing is so good. Especially the one on Cardassian orphans. Learning more about Garak and Dukats game.
But the highlight scene is O'Brien with Cardassian kid Rugel.
@napwarspod.bsky.social listening to Podcast on Cape St Vincent by @zwhitehistory.bsky.social and @kejamieson.bsky.social and its really good π
Side note any future plans for episodes on Camperdown or Basque Roads π
Just had a listen to the episode and loved it. Josh and Rex are right Dark Wesley is great in fact Id say probably the best character on either show

Reading this, and I realise that history teaches us that it never ends well for Austrians with delusions of Imperial granduer. Also, the parallels of Napoleon 3rd involvement in Mexico with his Uncles involvement in Spain is hard not to miss

You've got a Bonaparte after a string of successes incredibly arrogant thinking he can turn an internal civil dispute in a Spanish Speaking Country which has
I think they could've done that with a new season.
As it was both Lynch and Frost left for a bit so the other writers covered with some filler till they came back.
Though David Duchovny appearing was interesting given that Mulder would be based on Agent Cooper

@jessealexander.bsky.social @profgsheffield.bsky.social Reading Garnet Wolseley opinion on Robert E Lee. Realistically how good Commander was he. The argument is that he did the best that could be done with the resources he had but is that fair. He still lost !
