i saw someone spread hate to Keiko bc they were a Bashir/O'brien shipper, and i do NOT agree with that.

why would you ever say such things when this was always an option?

this is obviously what's happening in the show anyways

Guys! Ds9 season 2 episode 5: "Cardassians" is sooooo interesting! I dont even care that much about law episodes but this one is cool

You have this cardassian war orphan who was adopted by bajorans and it's very clear that they love each very much! But without even meaning to be, it's also a very toxic relationship. The bajorans hatred for cardassians is causing identity trauma in this kid like theres no tomorrow

It's just so hard because its sooo reasonable to hate the cardassians. They did horrible things so even the ds9 crew dont like them! But they've got to get over that and realize that the cardassians are people too, even if many of them ARE bad people, but it's not fair to this kid to be surrounded by hatred for his own kind. I loveeeeee when obrien talks to the kid because he realizes that his empathy for a hurt child overcomes his hatred for the cardassians.

The episode deals with very complicated, very REAL matters. Toxic but loving families, adoption, war orphans, cultural isolation and racism. And i think the characters handle the dilemma reallyyy well (especially sisko and keiko)

Plus i love seeing just how horrible clever gul dulat is and I love seeing bashir and Barak starting to develop this really interesting relationship

Anyway, yeah that's my silly little review, I love this episode and I love the way the characters were written in it
