    The Progenitor race had a Combs character that made sure at least one person on every planet would always look like him.

    One of the best parts of ds9 and many other episodes. It’s no wonder they kept bringing him back.

    Trying to think of my favorite… it’s close between Shran and Weyoun. Brunt, FCA was pretty outstanding too, really gave texture to Ferangi culture.

      Oh, it’s totally Weyoun. The best was his interplay with Dukat— you could tell that Weyoun was always patronizing Dukat and thought very little of him, but would carefully dance around stroking his ego as long as it helped advance the Dominion’s interests by getting the cooperation of the Cardassian Union. So many times, we would get these scenes of Dukat and Weyoun together, with Dukat preening and bloviating, and Weyoun is literally saying, “fascinating!” Not because he’s actually interested in what Dukat is saying, but because Dukat is a megalomaniacal, narcissistic lunatic, an Weyoun is actually quite fascinated by listening to his opinion about why they shouldn’t just eradicate the population of Earth without first trying to get them to worship Dukat— and only killing all of them if they refuse.

      The subtle acting between these two actors - playing such horrible villains - was really a delight to watch. Their chemistry was so good. Casey Biggs as Damar was very different, and while he did a very good job, too, he was never as slimy or just… fucking bonkers like Dukat was.

      I like to think that Krem took some of Archer’s advice on being more assertive, changed his name/profession, and eventually became Brunt, F.C.A. I don’t believe Ferengi actually live that long, but just roll with me on this.
