Have been watching DS9 through again (up to season 3 at the moment). And it is reminding me how good the Cardassians were as adversaries. How they can be sort of charming and cultured, but also utterly cruel at the same time.
Part of it is because of the actors that played Cardassians. I don’t think we ever see a bad or weakly acted Cardassian on DS9.
But they are almost the forgotten bad guys of Star Trek. Everyone focuses on the Klingons, or the Romulans, or the Borg. Would love to see Cardassians in the second season of Picard.
