The Dominion wouldn't be the antagonist, it'd be the Ferengi. They'd be portrayed as even more villainous and evil than Captain Planet villains. Every episode would be the woke DS9 crew would defeat them through the power of wokeness and spend twenty minutes lecturing the Ferengi, who are stand-ins for the audience, about the evils of capitalism, profit, and having police officers. When Worf joins the crew he'll be vegan and wear a dress because Hollywood loves putting niggers in dresses.
No, the enemy would be the Federation.
THEY'RE REEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Settle down, nigger.
This is barely related, but the Dominion was really under-utilized in Star Trek. The writers envisioned them as an anti-Federation, yet we only ever meet a handful of species, three of who are the government, the bureaucrats, and the soldiers. I guess TV budget didn't allow for more aliens, but it would have been cool to see an enemy faction just as diverse as the Federation, just with the complete opposite values when it came to political freedom.
Wasn't the Dominion created for the sole purpose of annihilating solids so as to protect the founders?
The Dominion was created to control the solids so they could never threaten the changelings. And it was the writers themselves who said "anti-Federation" when they were coming up with it. I just think it would have been an interesting direction to explore.
There's a lot of things Voyager should have done differently. Like take its own premise seriously...
We do see a couple of other Dominion members. The Dosi those big red faced dudes were Dominion members as well the Kareema which was the wrinkly faced guy played by James Cromwell that gets stuck with Quark next to a Dominion Torpedo.
Yea this whole “Dominion = dark mirror of the Federation” thing is just surface Trek analysis, You might as well say the Borg are a “dark Federation”
Victory is life!
This is both the funniest and most true thing I'm going to read today.
I loved the Vorta and Jem'Hadar ngl. I feel like they were really good additions to the universe and added a interesting flavor to the hierarchy of the Founders.
To make the Dominion a true bizarro Federation they should have had the Founders genetically engineering every species in the Dominion to serve them. Vortas are the government administrator, another race be engineered to be officers, Jemmies are the foot soldiers. You could have a story about the Vorta hating the Spoonheads because the Founders want to engineer them to replace the Vortas.
I can’t remember the title right now but there’s this episode where Jake is doing his little Hemingway thing in a trench someplace. The Klingons are about to roll up and apparently their big gimmick in this theater is running into MAS*H and bayonetting everybody with bat’leths so they can die “with honor.” And the Starfleet guys are clutching pearls.
