          “Lebensraum is fine so long as we don’t value the life on it.” Curious how no one ever talks about what happened to those tribbles, hmm?

          Bajor is and has been part of the Cardassian Union for centuries, look at the old galactic maps. We brought a backwards, theocratic outpost into the 24th Century with industry, reason, and purpose. It was Cardassia who cured the Fotossa virus, Cardassia who gave a glimpse of power beyond the Vedeks. Harmony was blossoming before the fedscum began to interfere.

          Now look at it in fed hands, on the brink of collapse!

                This brings that time travel episode where Nerys learns what happened to her mom into some... bizarre context.

                  Computer: "You have an incoming call from Gul Dukat."

                  Kira: "Ugh it's the middle of the night. On screen."

                  Dukat: "I fucked your mooooooooooom."

                  Still among my favourite scenes in the franchise.

                    Dukat: “your mom! In addition to that other Bajorian woman who I fucked and fathered a child with. A child I was gonna kill for a hot second. But then I got attached to her but later she died and I decided the rational response to that was to try and genocide her mother’s people.”

                    Okay I’m starting to see some holes in this “Dukat is the good guy” theory.

                      “Dukat is the good guy” theory.

                      Anyone who supports that theory is an Obsidian Order bot.

                        That's what every FedLib says whenever someone criticizes their Maquis proxy forces in Cardassia.

                        Oh fuck I've been swallowed by the bit too!

        I mean there's no way I am getting in the way of a bit this good but I always figured actually managing and running a vineyard in a society that could replicate a near infinate number of bottles of the very best wine ever made perfect to a subatomic level was a quaint hobby, like those people nowdays who have a backyard forge and make stuff.

        Picard and his family run it but probably because there's no decent reason to take it from them. Anyone who wanted it could find fertile land likely even better for grapes than the vinyard somewhere in the federation. Sure the landscape is beautiful but if that's what you want you could go to one of the pleasure planets where there's so much amazing natural beauty that you don't even really need the atmospheric aphrodisiacs.

        I always saw the vinyard as more of a harmless eccentricity, like how Sisco's dad is a chef even though replicators are a thing.

        I'm not counting Picard as a show by the way cos that was just weird.

          “Oh, this land? This prime real estate on the capital world? You misunderstand, it’s just a hobby! that I have field hands and a giant manor is uh... coincidence!?” throws smoke bomb, runs away

          I’m actually starting Picard now, I don’t really know what’s happening.

            Picard starts promising but it just completely vanishes up its own arse whilst simeltaniously turning into a hack and slash action packed drama. It doesn't work really.
