Yep. You heard me. Say something positive about the Kazons. Them, and all of their silly hairstyles.

    They gave something for Seska to boss about.

    They are so inferior that the Borg will not bother to assimilate them.

    Their weapons fire a rather attractive shade of blue.

    They're good for target practice. That's it. This is a species that fights interstellar wars over water, for crying out loud!

    They're rock-stupid space gangbangers with bad hair. There is nothing genuinely positive about them.

    And Seska is attractive in that villainous sort of way. I think I have a thing for Cardassians. :confused:

    A bad bargain-basement attempt at Klingon ripoffs made by low-budget hacks who didn't understand what made the Klingons good characters.

    Basically, Klingons stripped of the costume design quality, the obvious alien-ness of the forehead ridges, the massive amounts of complex and oddly gender-segregated culture (Only male Klingons can sit on the High Council under most circumstances, but female Klingons have the first, last, and only say on who gets into the family and stuff like that), and the sheer quality that comes from having a member of the species on screen as a main for 10 seasons.

    That whole arc was such a waste of a character. I've got this image in my head of Martha Hackett done up in makeup similar to whoever played Natima Lang, and having her join the crew as a Cardassian to be VOY's pragmatic anti-hero a la Garak.

    Instead they slapped that lumpy mask over her face and randomly chucked her into the "cackling villain" column.

    Yeah but she's a babe. The problem is that you can never fill Garak's shoes, or Dukat's, or Damars. In fact, Voyager has trouble following up Deep Space Nine. I've still enjoyed the first two seasons though.

    Also stripped of Klingon intellect. If Qo'noS were running short on water, the Klingons wouldn't jump into their ships and sail right past all the ice-bearing moons and asteroids they found in order to attack random strangers that outgunned them five to one.

    The Kazon were too stupid to live. It's my fantasy that on our return to the Delta Quadrant, we'll find that the entire species was wiped out when the Ocampa realized they could be stymied by your average knock-knock joke, and seized their entire fleet under the pretense of being interstellar repo men.

    My headcanon is that the Trabe actually still secretly rule them and use them as a sort of half-trained parrot to annoy other species.

    Sort of like the sivs and bullywugs in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting.

    I'll admit, the Kazon ships look nice...though bear in mind that they were probably never designed by the Kazon, but by their Trabe overlords.

    Also, regarding the Trabe: if your entire society can be overthrown by a race of fractured, infighting barbarians who still haven't figured out basic replicator technology (or for that matter, simple ice mining), then clearly you deserved to be overthrown.

    You know, if they had done something different with their hair/heads and not made them quite so Barney Fife-ish,... they wouldn't have been as bad a villain for a season or two, but Voyager stretched their story line way too long.

    In my opinion, Voyager would have been a much better show, if they had had a different "villain" or at least species encounter, each season. Like each season they entered a different species space,... some good, some bad and then throw in a minor species to randomly encounter each season to build tension and drama,... just sayin'

    as for the Kazon; Say something positive about: the Kazon

    Um, they make goods targets?

    Had they stuck to the original idea and only used teenage/early 20's actors, they could have made them an interesting "what if" version of Klingons. Two similar races with the same violent tendencies, one living two centuries and one lucky to live two decades. The Kazon could have been Klingons without the tempering influence of wisdom and tradition, instead of just generic store-brand Klingons.

    I... guess that wasn't entire positive. I tried my best.

    we get to ally with some of the kazon sects against the vaadwaur in one of the DR story missions!

    oh wait, that would be a negative, wouldn't it?

    perhaps i should rephrase...some of the kazon sects get to act as meat shields against the vaadwaur, protecting valuable alliance lives and ships

    Yeah, TRIBBLE that, I'm taking the option to just kill the Kazon and go it alone against the Vaadwaur. The ends do NOT justify the means, and there are few things more distasteful than allying with misogynistic scum like the Kazon.

    There IS an option to kill the Kazon and go it alone, right?

    cryptic say 'TRIBBLE you, you get kazon'

    you do get to kill some of them in the process of allying, though

    oh, and the mission rewards a unique epic-quality doff, so you can't skip it
