here is the only thing I will say in defense of my absolute most hated DS9 storyline: I actually think Dukat not getting a redemption arc is crucial to the show’s moral integrity

New month, new #newsletter! In which I use old media references, finally code footnotes correctly in Buttondown, and talk around the sides of what I do for work and what I'm writing now. buttondown.com/bzedan/archi...
