I'm sorry but I have to use this opportunity to rant about how much I hate hate hate that fuck Steve Harvey because my daughter's therapist's office keeps their waiting room TV on a 24-hour Family Feud channel so I have to go sit in my car while she's in there because I can't take it.
Not only have I never understood why anyone finds him the least bit funny, he's a misogynist who hates atheists. Fuck him.
Also, that show is clearly enhanced with a laugh track.
Awful sexist crap where he blames his ex wife putting out too soon for him cheating on her. Then the whole point of the book is that women need to use sex to control the relationship or men will never respect them.
His books make my blood boil.
Also he calls sex “the cookie”, like an 11 year old.
Gul Dukat is so well written. It really seems like he's going to be redeemed seasons 3 and 4, and then WHAM-POW he's a fascist who sells his own people out to the Dominion, and a racist who actually thinks Cardassians are superior beings. The show makes you like him, and then completely pulls the rug out from under you.
I hated that part. It was so unbelievable that a man like him suddenly becomes a saint. Also, at some point suddenly nobody seemed to think of Cardassians as evil anymore, while previously they were portrayed as raping mass murderer fascists.
But props to Marc Alaimo, he really played Dukat extremely well.

I think it was pretty hard to determine exactly what his role in the occupation was until s6e11, "Waltz" when he outs himself while pulling a Misery on Sisco. Though I guess his selling out the Cardassians to the Dominion one season earlier was a pretty glaring clue. It seemed to me that he could have been a victim of circumstance rather than a vindictive monster until that point.
Though in hindsight, I get it being very hard to swallow that he might be redeemable.
