        Phasers or disruptors sir/ma’am, we are civilized here. Even if that one wasn’t.

        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 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.

              He did come out of left field, but he’s a pretty good character.
