    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.

    Edit: My daughter’s therapist

      That show has basically turned into: force an innuendo and Harvey makes that stupid face.

      I can’t stand it or him

        He’s also just not a smart person.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWJ9ylZkS2s

        “Where’s your moral barometer?” has been a joke in various atheist discussion forums for years because of that interview.

        Edit: Oh hey, he’s now jumped onto the “anti-woke” bandwagon!

      Have you seen his books?

      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.

        I’ve read about them. I don’t have the stomach to read them myself. He’s just an awful person in so many ways.

        I forgot to mention that he’s also, unsurprisingly, a queerphobe and a racist who makes jokes about Asians.

        I know, but there are so many reasons to complain about Steve Harvey.

        https://chicagoist.com/2017/05/11/a_brief_history_of_steve_harvey_bei.php

        Also, Kat Williams has a lot to say about what a piece of shit he is.

    Navarch Li Nalas, obviously.

    Defeated Gul Zarale in desperate single combat, and led his cell and the entire resistance to victory and freedom.

    Also the most humble bajoran you will ever meet.

      Zarale was in his undies. But the people needed a hero and Li became one for real anyway when he saved the Emissary’s life.

        Zarale was in his undies.

        Transparent spoon head propaganda, the Great Empire trying to make excuses for being beaten by barely armed farmers.

        No one can stand against the will of the prophets, and the cardassians will feel their cleansing fire soon enough.

      Maybe it’s like the early Christian sects who venerated Judas because he was necessary so that Jesus could be executed and resurrected.

          The main argument is laid out in the Gospel of Judas, one of the apocryphal Gnostic gospels.

    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.

      Then they completely break him in the later seasons, make him very vulnerable and human with grief, and he still comes back as an asshole.

      redeemed seasons 3 and 4

      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.

        It was so unbelievable that a man like him suddenly becomes a saint.

        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.
