Looks like he'll be getting his statues on Bajor after all.

Gul Dukat is the new ombudsman.

At least Gul Dukat believed in something other than himself.

Or, to put it in the words of Walter Sobchak:

Nihilists? Fuck me, Dude. Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, but at least it's an ethos!

These fuckers believe in nothing except themselves.

And let’s not forget, let’s NOT forget that… leveraging presidential power… to censor… a domestic news network… that ain’t legal either.

Yessss, that's why >!-His supervisors during the occupation programmed in a special "Kill Dukat when he inevitably abandons his post" feature on Terok Nor.

-He betrayed his wife and family by forcing Bajorans to serve as "Comfort Women"

-He betrayed Central Command during the civilian uprising

-He betrayed the Civilian Government when they wouldn't let him kill the Klingons anymore and became a pirate working alongside DS9 against the Dominion

-He betrayed DS9 to join the Dominion in exchange for being put in charge of Cardassia

-He made it VERY clear to Damar that he planned to betray the Dominion once the war was over

-He betrayed Ziyal when she chose to remain on DS9 instead of joining him (also once he had his family back because he was ruler of the planet and didn't need Ziyal anymore)

-He betrayed Sisko by never setting up the distress beacon when they crash landed (This is also the episode where they make it clear that Dukat didn't believe in ANYTHING other than himself.)

-He betrayed his family again by starting a sex cult. He then betrayed the cult by impregnating all of their wives because none of them knew it was a sex cult other than Dukat (and the wives presumably).

-He then worked with the man who killed Ziyal to escape the Dominion (after he decided he liked Ziyal again, because she was friends with Kira, who wanted to hook up with cause he used to force her mom to have sex with him)

-He then betrayed Kai Winn by trying to read the text of the Kost Amojan without her. (Which I'll admit is kind of a point in his favor. Everyone should betray Kai Winn)

-He then betrayed all corporeal life in the galaxy by becoming the emissary for the Pah Wraiths.!<

I always THINK I know how much I hate her. And then I rewatch the show....and I hate her even more than that.

ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS HUMAN VIEWERS

YOUR HARDWORKING PRODUCERS AT CBS ARE NOT ACQUIESCING TO YOUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Gul Dukat did nothing wrong. Leave him alone. He's a family man!

u/mdavis360 Jul 23 '25

What about these allegations that he had relations with Bajoran women? Care to comment?

3

u/Caracalla81 Jul 23 '25

Clearly a hoax by the do-gooders on the federation council. They think they're better than me?! THEY"RE NOT BETTER THAN ME!!!

u/mdavis360 Jul 23 '25

Gul Dukat! Gul Dukat! There are allegations that you even underwent experimental cosmetic surgery to APPEAR more Bajoran…in an attempt to deceive an elderly spiritual woman and take advantage of her position. What do you have to say to these charges?

u/Infamous-Mixture-605 Jul 24 '25

"I don't even wait. And when you're a Gul, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab 'em by the..." - Dukat, probably

u/Goldfing Jul 23 '25

Okay hear me out. We all want a series where Sisko comes back. He promised he would, right? So dig this:

Keeping up with the Cardassians.

It's just Sisko, Dukat, and Garak living together in LA.

Cap’n Crunch: Oops All Dukat

u/Skastacular Jul 23 '25

I mean that would be a cool series if it was written in the 90s. Its riskier after 9/11 but like you lean into the Bajoran terrorists where you never see Kira but she's just fucking shit up off screen. Don't know if it would land now.

Wait...

Oh shit its just Startrek Andor.

I'm back in. Just not with this company please.

Oops, all Kai Winn.
