Picard at 1:55 here suggests it doesn't necessarily:
Pen Pals
To me, it seemed like he was talking about localized slavery. One people originating entirely from a certain planet who come to own and abuse another people from the same planet. The ghoulies are closer to the borg or a hivemind than traditional slavers, in many ways, so examining starfleet’s response to the borg would probably yield a better understanding of their response.
How are the Goa’uld distinct from the Cardassians?
Well for one I don't remember the goa'uld having a tailor with an ambiguous sexual orientation and a murky past who's besties with a human doctor, so there's that at least?
I mean, not quite the same... but there was Nerus.
Ha, I don't remember that character at all. I'm actually just rewatching SG-1 but I'm only up to season 8 so far
He's a fun one. Just don't get too close when he has a cupcake in his sights.
Only watched a season of TNG so no clue.
The Cardassians were more of a DS9 thing, I think they only featured in a few random TNG episodes
Just a few random eps…and two of the most quoted and referenced episodes of the whole franchise! Between Capt. Jellico and “There are Four Lights” c/risa is about 20% content from those two episodes. (I’m not telling you off here, just adding my amazement at what an impact that two-parter has had).
Oh shit I totally forgot about those episodes, been a while since I last rewatched TNG. Great point though, they definitely are memes in themselves
Pulaski ❤ People generally seem to really dislike her, but I think she was way more interesting as a character than Bev
More interesting than Bev, but she had a very judgemental, sometimes callous attitude.
No disagreement there. I think that "roughness" to her was what made the character interesting in the first place, Bev's a bit milquetoast in comparison
