I'm partial to the inept/surprisingly-effective assassin guy Quark hires to help him trade the Vorta guy for Moogie.

I got curious and went Wikipediaing. The guy who played him died two months ago. Now I feel like a complete ass for dissing him at all.
To everyone saying that someone has already said what they want to say: post anyway. You'd be surprised how significant tiny differences in perspective can be.
I've come around a bit on Vic. In my current DS9 re-watch, I just got to the episode where Nog goes to live with him in the holo-suite and he helps him overcome his trauma. He's way less lame (and creepy) than when he tricks Odo into dating real Kira by telling him she's a hologram.
I only recently found out he was Brunt as well as Weyoun. And had no idea about the others. (I still haven't gotten around to Enterprise.) What a talented guy!
Science fiction is going to age poorly. A lot of it is already hilariously dated. Look at most of Star Trek. They're flying at FTL speeds through space with artificial gravity, teleportation, lifelike androids, and replicator technology, but their screens absolutely suck. More and more of those inconsistencies are going to add up over the centuries and make things ridiculous after a while.
The number of new things that people enjoy dwindles with age. Just about everyone agrees that the music that was being made when they were teenagers is the epitome of the art. Are you going to be able to enjoy anything when you're 2563 years old?
The older you get, the faster time apparently moves. Having grown up in the 80s and 90s, on some days, even "The year 2000!!" still feels like it should be the future to me. I can't imagine what even a few centuries would do to this phenomenon, let alone a millennium or megaannum (I had to look that word up.)
On the upside, presuming I'm the only immortal, I'll be the only person currently alive to see if they actually finish that performance of Organ^2^/ASLSP in Halberstadt.
I did. There's almost zero engagement. My most popular thread is a meta narrative about me being in there talking to myself. There were at least two other attempts that are even more inactive. Not enough of y'all are into synthesizers.
Vic Fontaine. A lame, self-aware hologram introduced in season 6 who gives relationship advice mostly.
Say what you will about the chaebols running the country and the rampant corruption, Korean roadworkers are incredibly fast and efficient. There's never some guy standing around doing nothing.
In the 90s, "gay" had become a catch-all term for "thing I think is stupid". I've heard LGBTQ people intentionally unironically use the term in this manner.
At 198cm (6'6") and 111kg (245lbs) BMI states that I'm on the high end of "overweight". My waist is 96cm (38"), which makes my RFM "average". I like that better.
