[[WMG: Q doesn't bother the station much because of the Prophets.]]
When he shows up, he doesn't do anything truly Q-like--he basically annoys everybody because why not. He didn't do any truly spectacular things out of courtesy to the Prophets, who don't like other godlike beings playing in their backyard.

They were putting on a act in order to force him to come to terms with his own grief, because the Prophets work in mysterious ways.

And what is more, she is the latest of a long line of Kiras. That is why she was such an effective member of LaResistance.

This did not come out in that episode where the caste system was briefly reintroduced because what government figure would want to impose that caste from above?

''Glory'' if that work survived Earth's Dark Age -- which is dubious, given how fragile film is as a medium. But Klingons would want the story retold in the original Klingon and with the original Klingon characters.



In the Mirror Universe, everybody does have a very different role than in the "normal" universe - ''except'' Mirror Quark, who also runs Deep Space Nine's bar (at least until Mirror Kira has him executed for helping Terrans escape from the station). Maybe Quark has a bar on Deep Space Nine in ''every'' universe in which a version of Deep Space Nine exists. (Another example: In our own universe, Deep Space Nine exists as a fictional station in a TV series, so Quark does exist as a character in this series' narrative and has a bar on Deep Space Nine.)

* Despite numerous warning from residents of the Gamma Quadrant about the Dominion, Star Fleet kept constantly probing deeper into the Gamma Quadrant and establishing colonies until they provoked the attack that destroyed the USS Odyssey.
Then the Federation attempts a poorly planned and executed "peace initiative" that ends in its delegation being captured and "brainwashed" by the Dominion. This failure wasn't followed not by a retreat from the Gamma Quadrant, but a military buildup of DS9.

* Despite numerous warning from residents of the Gamma Quadrant about the Dominion, Star Fleet kept constantly probing deeper into the Gamma Quadrant and establishing colonies until they provoked the attack that destroyed the USS Odyssey.
Then the Federation attempts a poorly planned and executed "peace initiative" that ends in its delegation being captured and "brainwashed" by the Dominion. This failure wasn't followed not by a retreat from the Gamma Quadrant, but a military buildup of DS9.

When it was it was discovered that Dominion had infiltrated all levels of Star Fleet,the Tal Shi'ar and the Obsidian Order,the Federation did not warn the Romulan and Cardassian governments against an attack into the Gamma Quadrant (although they knew it was imminent) and thus ensured that two of their Alpha Quadrant opponents were weakened.
Finally,rather than destroying the wormhole and thus preventing an attack on the Alpha Quadrant, the Federation "dithers" and allows the a war to begin w/ an enemy that,it's later revealed to have been manufacturing bio-weapons to combat against.

A conspiracy of dunces? No...a series of actions and misdirections that lead to an intended goal: A confrontation w/ the Dominion

** It wasn't a matter of tech. It was a matter of will and resources. The Federation doesn't (publicly) engage in atrocities, while the Cardassians didn't really have the resources to wipe them out and withstand the inevitable backlash from the Federation. The Dominion were perfectly fine with committing atrocities, and they could easily withstand any attack at that point. Also, one of the biggest sources was Mike Eddington, who ''was'' a member of the Maquis, and was trying to evacuate the last survivors of his cell in his last appearance.

* The problem with this theory is that it's canon that Odo's appearance was due to him not being very good at doing faces -- and, indeed, in the episode "Children of Time" future!Odo has a slightly more humanoid (but still not perfect) face. The reason why all the other Founders look like that is because they're copying Odo.

Eris was able to beam away from the Station with no Dominion ships ''anywhere'' nearby (and we know that the Dominion does not use cloaking devices). If the Dominion had this technology, why do they never use it again? My guess is that Eris is not really a Vorta, but something entirely different.
