It took Nog a bit to warm up to Ziyal, but now they’re good enough friends for him to agree to help her paint her claws for a date with Jake! She’s never put on nail polish before, but Ferengi wear it all the time, so Nog is a pro.

Jake: You know what Star Wars and Cardassia have in common? Daddy Issues.

Ziyal: I feel like we aren’t talking about the concept of filial piety in the broader sense of cardassian nationalism, and not just its relation to weird wizard religions!! Darth Vader is the hero of the prequels because of his relationship with Palpatine!

Rugal: But that filial piety in Star Wars is only a weakness for the Empire later! It can’t be a one to one relationship to the repetitive epic in the Never-Ending Sacrifice, even as it still follows seven generations of one family, because the state itself doesn’t last long enough.
