I love how he was trying to get executed but Maritza was still afraid that she might deny him the medicine.

"they came back covered in blood, but they felt clean. why did they feel that way? Because why were clean." That's gotta be the most cold blooded line ever uttered on television.

I'm going to attribute Marritza's wonky makeup as deliberate due to the fact he altered his own appearance.

Israel = Cardassia Palestinians = Bajorans We've learned nothing from our own history or from the stories it has inspired. At least our governments and ruling elites haven't learned anything.

This in the end shows that Maritza had Empathy for the Bajorans , and wanted no part in the genocide .

One of the finest moments in Trek, and definitely the finest in DS9. I only wish you had included the ENTIRE scene. The completely unexpected ending is what makes these scenes so magnificent, to the point that it brings me to tears every time I view it. It turns the whole concept of the Cardassians being evil monsters on its' head, and shows that there are good and noble Cardassians in the Star Trek world.

This episode was the first star trek to make me cry and I knew in that moment DS9 was going to be an incredible series. I truly felt sorry for him, I truly felt like I understood him, and him begging to be punished for someone else's crimes to help the people of Bajor heal after to occupation I was was heart-breaking. I'd give anything for another series like this one

If you notice, while Darheel (Maritza) was saying all those hateful lines, you could see the sadness in his eyes. He looks like he's trying to hold back tears but powering through it because (as we learn later in the episode) he thinks he deserves punishment and wants to make sure it's carried out. Fantastic acting from his actor that I don't know how many people noticed

Who’s here because of the Israel Palestine war? The parallels are eerily similar.

It is so jarring sometimes how good the acting was from some of these one off characters in DS9. Maritza's acting was absolutely incredible and occasionally I feel like Kira's performance, when stuck right next to Maritza, falls a little flat in a couple of the deliveries of her lines. He had so much power, presence, and just commanded the entire scene.

He's a little too easy to hate. Real people are usually not so purely and obviously evil. Usually.

His behavior kind of reveals that he isn’t the real Gul early if you think about it, because actual fascists, even the most brutal ones, are cowards when it comes to the horrible things they did, eager to lie and make excuses once caught. You see this with Dukat in the show who oversaw the whole occupation.

I love how (if you know what to look for) there are clues that something just isn't right about this guy. For example, what kind of war criminal actually gloats about their crimes? Real war criminals that are responsible for these sorts of crimes don't brag or gloat about it. When confronted they deny that it happened, they paint themselves as a victim, claim they were following orders, etc. Look at the trial of Adolph Eichman, or Radovan Karadžić...these guys don't brag about it. They lie to the world and to themselvse. So anyone who kind of knows that to look for can see that there's something a bit off about a concentration camp overseer hamming it up and taking pride in atrocities.

not gonna lie, some of his deliveries made me laugh, for example "Guilty!" or "Dont leave know Major, it's just getting gud!" as well as "Look, I regret a lot of what I had to do" without missing a beat "How convenient of youuu!" not because it's funny per se, but the deliveries were PERFECT
