I like to think that Damars biggest regret was that he didn't have a camera recording at the time. If he did, he'd have that clip of Worf snapping Weyouns neck set so it shows every time he turns on his computer in the morning. Something to cheer him up at the start of the day.
@Ronald McDonald Not really fair to compare not knowing what Casey Biggs was told to accept the role of Damar with not knowing how to pronounce the word "origins"
Weyoun was so Trollable, though I have to admit, the early Weyoun was much more fun than the later ones. I guess all that dying didn't exactly improve his disposition any.
That "maybe you should talk to Worf again" is pure hilarity. Mixed with Damar's actor's great acting. Man, the Cardassians are like my favorite Star Trek race.
earlier in the episode where Damar shoots Rusat, he had received the news of the Dominion finding and executing his wife and kids. Kira's painful mocking of his question, "What kind of people give those orders?" forced him to recognize that the Cardassians were once much like the Dominion in how they treated Bajorans. His line, "his Cardassia's dead, and it's not coming back," is both an acknowledgement and apology to Kira for how her people were treated during the occupation. He wasn't just acknowledging the facts. part of what I love about DS9 is that the character growth goes hand-in-hand with how different races' viewpoints of eachother change. This was an important moment for Kira, former Bajoran resistance fighter, and Damar, former Cardassian oppressor-turned-resistance-fighter.
Recently there was a kids show called Transformers Prime (spoilers for it ahead btw)... At the end of the show, after spending the final arc of the series possessed and controlled by Unicron (the Transformers devil), Megatron is freed by the Autobots and helps banish Unicron. Once all is said and done, the remaining Decepticons turn to him to start their war anew and the Autobots quickly put their guard up. However, Megatron stops them... He declares the war over and the Decepticons disbanded, then turns to Optimus Prime and says, "I now know the true meaning of oppression, and thus have lost my taste for inflicting it." That's what Damar went through here.
always had a unique appreciation for the cardassians, the classic middle men of good and evil, barring Dukat, i have to Say Damar was one of the few characters you couldn't help but like. He went out like a true bad ass
Nice little touch where Damar tells the guards to pick "that" up instead of "him when referring to Weyoun's body. Damar doesn't even see Weyoun as a person. Just a tool for the Dominion.
Casey Biggs gave so much personality to Damar. His 'Well, Hello!' is so demonstrably unimpressed, and his laughter in the middle of 'talk to Worf again' is so natural.
Garak's face at the end is priceless and telling. He recognizes that Dumar's perspective has changed, and that Cardassian is sealing his own fate with his rhetoric.
Anyone that's worked someplace longer than a few years can relate to Damaar. Dude's like "Nah fuck all this, I know I'm a cog in a wheel, and the wheel's made of shit, so fuck you, fuck me, fuck everything, because who gives a shit"
...I always liked to see Jeffrey Combs act in these shows, whatever alien race/antagonist they had him play... ...his portrayal of Weyoun made that character an excellent villian, and his portrayal of Brunt of the F.C.A. (Ferengi Commerce Authority) was a brilliantly nuanced prefomance, being an excellent foil to Quark, bringing the right amount of humor to a bad guy and adversarial situation... ...but I really think that the best part he played was in the series "Enterprise", as Commander Thy'lek Shran of the Andorian Imperial Guard, that was a great character... ...they always gave Jeffrey Combs good characters to play, and he did a good job portraying them...
That little standoff over Kira and the Breen weapon is so good. The music is battling itself, just like Damar, and the line delivery is absolutely phenomenal.
Probably because Damar's storyline sees him find a truly worthy cause to champion, whereas a lot of Dukat's story ends up wheel-spinning due to his obsession with power and messing with Sisko. Not that it's not entertaining, it's just not quite as compelling, ultimately.
"I'm not sure it's wise for me to stay. What if the Vorta decides to pay you a visit?" "And what if he does? He'll see me conferring with one of my officers. There's nothing suspicious about that." Indeed. It's called "Hiding in plain sight."
Hey Weyoun, could you wring someone's neck with those hands? Yes I could, Damar. The amount of times you constantly remind me, I really could. Tell me, how many fingers do the vorta have on a hand then? Five, just as you do. You'd surely already noticed? And the other? It's the same of course. Oh. Snap.
“Well hellooooooo!” I laughed my goddamn balls off the first time I saw that scene. Bitch-ass Weyoun was so sure of himself and punked Damar every chance he got and Worf just twisted his stupid head off because he was so sure of himself and now Weyoun #8 strolls in and Damar with his “well helloooooooo!” god... I loved it! It was so perfect.
Favourite lines: "Well hellooooo!" LMFAO "Maybe you should talk to Worf again!" LOL "I'm sure she'll understand, but if she doesn't, I look forward to meeting Weyoun 9." xDD (actually laughed when I first saw that line) And even though it wasn't shown here: "Guilty as charged." Feel free to guess why I like that one xDD
But the cardassian form of government runs along Democrat lines. No rights, except what the government deems you, government control of all aspects of life. Lifelong indoctrination from cradle to grave. Seems that cardassia was feeling the Bern from the get go.
It's not Neroon's line, but I often share the laugh with him... "The next time - the next time you want a revelation - could you possibly find a way - that isn't quite so - uncomfortable?"
Such a cold line "I look forward to meeting Weyoun 9" since Damar already knows the first target of his rebellion is to destroy the cloning facility where any future Weyouns are stored.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I find it so funny how Worf just snapped his neck so quick and easy. That'll teach him not to say anything stupid next to a Klingon again.
I think we should remember Damar was a military dictator. He just wanted a Cardassian one, not serve as a Dominion vassal. After the war I don’t see him as embracing representative government.
Assuming he survived the final assault instead of being shot, he wouldn't have been allowed to serve in the new government anyway. The Federation alliance would never allow it, and instead would only install pacifist civilians to the posts.
Some people malign him for killing Dukat's daughter, but he, as a loyal son of Cardassia, had just heard someone confess to treason, and he acted. It was tragic, but to him, justified. I can understand this, and seeing the duality makes it all more tragic.
Damar's character development is one of the best ever written. First he's just a boring and bumbling henchman, then takes over and grows into the boots of Dukat's role as a chief villain, then becoming drunked demoralized and hopeless, then into a heroic freedom fighter, and lastly a tragic martyr
2:25 There's an episode of Seinfeld where Jerry breaks up with a woman because he gives her belly button a voice. "Helloooooo." The signal from 1996 just reached Cardassia. Damar is a big fan.
"Maybe you should talk to Worf again." Great line, superbly delivered.
I agree.
@@stevenlitak2464 Second only to his eternally unparalleled "Well Hellooooo!".
100%. One of my favorite lines in DS9 EVER!
I like to think that Damars biggest regret was that he didn't have a camera recording at the time. If he did, he'd have that clip of Worf snapping Weyouns neck set so it shows every time he turns on his computer in the morning. Something to cheer him up at the start of the day.
HO HO HO😂
Its funny how Damar started off as just an extra, until he became one of the most pivotal characters in the show.
And did a great job when he became he started to despise the Dominion
That's how it was with Spike from Buffy
Damar is compelling. Gets you right in the cockles.
@Ronald McDonald Not really fair to compare not knowing what Casey Biggs was told to accept the role of Damar with not knowing how to pronounce the word "origins"
"You want me to read the audition again for ONE LINE? Huh?" - Casey Biggs, before he knew where this role was going :)
I love how Damar is trolling Weyoun.
Weyoun was so Trollable, though I have to admit, the early Weyoun was much more fun than the later ones. I guess all that dying didn't exactly improve his disposition any.
Seems fair
The ultimate troll: destroying the clone facility housing all the Weyouns.
laughing at his death is some next level trolling lol
@@stonem0013 Not quite. Next-level trolling is offering the new Weyoun a drink from a bottle with a twisted neck.
I will always love Damar's little "Well Hello!"
I've actually used that, and I get chuckles from my Trekkie buddies.
The chuckle that comes right afterwards is rich with mirth-perfect.
One of my favourite lines in all of star trek. It's so loaded lol
"I look forward to meeting Weyoun 9" LMAO.
Season 7 was Damar’s season!
He won’t meet weyoun 9 but we will in Star Trek online
Zing! Take a burn😄
"Oh you misjudge me ... I miss him deeply"
I lost it xD
That and "perhaps you should go talk to Worf again" are two of my fav lines ever :D
"Press X to doubt."
One of the best DS-9 lines- "I'm sure she'll understand, but if not, I look forward to meeting Weyoun 9." JAJAAJ
The sad part is, I am a very good tailor.
Then that little smile afterwards.
That "maybe you should talk to Worf again" is pure hilarity.
Mixed with Damar's actor's great acting.
Man, the Cardassians are like my favorite Star Trek race.
"There's only one Damar" Truer words were never said
earlier in the episode where Damar shoots Rusat, he had received the news of the Dominion finding and executing his wife and kids. Kira's painful mocking of his question, "What kind of people give those orders?" forced him to recognize that the Cardassians were once much like the Dominion in how they treated Bajorans.

Very true it would have been great if Damar survived.
Carl Knight when did he die?
The last episode I think when they reached the Dominion headquarters on Cardassia.
Paul, I would delve further in Damar's remarks and state that he is genuine and sincere in forming a new Cardassia.
yeah but that added to it since he paid the ultimate sacrifice
Recently there was a kids show called Transformers Prime (spoilers for it ahead btw)...
At the end of the show, after spending the final arc of the series possessed and controlled by Unicron (the Transformers devil), Megatron is freed by the Autobots and helps banish Unicron. Once all is said and done, the remaining Decepticons turn to him to start their war anew and the Autobots quickly put their guard up. However, Megatron stops them...

Lava91point0 even Dukat was somewhat respectable, though quite honorless.
Weyoun in sinister whisper: "And you know how ruthless the Cardassians can be"
Even though Damar tried to redeem himself, his death was assured when he killed Ziyal.
"Cardassia. It's as beautiful as I remember it"
So Garak's memories of Cardassia are of a black featureless waste ground??
+Lukozer
Garak has actually been blind this whole time.
@@callumunga5253 The Visor technology has yet to reach Cardassia
hes being sarcastic
Cardassia: Land of eternal darkness. Isn't it beautiful.
Pretty much.
Nice little touch where Damar tells the guards to pick "that" up instead of "him when referring to Weyoun's body. Damar doesn't even see Weyoun as a person. Just a tool for the Dominion.
"Maybe you should talk to Worf again "-Lol!!
Best line ever in modern Trek...
I swear Damar had SO much fun needling Weyoun like that... not that it wasn't well deserved. :)
Casey Biggs gave so much personality to Damar. His 'Well, Hello!' is so demonstrably unimpressed, and his laughter in the middle of 'talk to Worf again' is so natural.
Garak's face at the end is priceless and telling. He recognizes that Dumar's perspective has changed, and that Cardassian is sealing his own fate with his rhetoric.
"Oh I'm sure she'll understand. But if she doesn't, I look forward to meeting Weyoun 9". Savage.
Damar, Garak, and Dukat were the three characters on this show that I think best represented Cardassians, for better and worse.
Dukat’s daughter brought in a lot of the artistic cultural side of Cardsssisns.
Fantastic upload. Damar was great. "Maybe you should talk to Worf again." Love it!
at first i didn't like damar but the way they changed him from a lackey to a torturer then freedom fighter was really well done
And they did it all within a few episodes....
@@HeavyJ713 it's amazing what good writter, directors and actors can do. Drek should take note
Great acting, the character Damar was brilliant, a true credit to the actor. Great series!
The more I watch these clips I realise how deep this movie was. It even give you hints on what we are living today. Absolutely amazing
I have always liked damar
And I love Cardassia
Anyone that's worked someplace longer than a few years can relate to Damaar. Dude's like "Nah fuck all this, I know I'm a cog in a wheel, and the wheel's made of shit, so fuck you, fuck me, fuck everything, because who gives a shit"
"I'm still here, Rusot..."
Love the expression on Garak's face at 8:39.
He's thinking: "Well this fucker's gone completely nuts."
Damar was an awesome character!
" I look forward to meeting Wayune Nine! " lol😁
6:15
The only time star trek has ever given me goosebumps!
Damar became a favorite of mine. Thank you so much for uploading this montage of clips! (Weyoun was my favorite bad guy before him).
...I always liked to see Jeffrey Combs act in these shows, whatever alien race/antagonist they had him play...
...his portrayal of Weyoun made that character an excellent villian,
and his portrayal of Brunt of the F.C.A. (Ferengi Commerce Authority) was a brilliantly nuanced prefomance, being an excellent foil to Quark, bringing the right amount of humor to a bad guy and adversarial situation...
...but I really think that the best part he played was in the series "Enterprise", as Commander Thy'lek Shran of the Andorian Imperial Guard, that was a great character...

welll helllooooo
Yes! Classic!
*laughs heartily*
I'm glad to see you find the death of my predecessor so amusing.
Damar should have been the one to kill the last Weyoun clone, not Garak. After all, Garak and Weyoun had no prior dealings.
Garak did it for Damar though, so close enough.
Having Damar do it would have been too obvious.
Damar wasn't a cold blooded murderer. Garak was.
@@oldtwinsna8347 calling garak simply a cold blooded murder means you really didnt understand his character
@@matthewjones2095 Not true.
how did Damar end up being more interesting than Dukat? i love it
Damar didn't have "Space Lizard Hitler" as his starting point, so it was much less uncomfortable when he was fleshed out.
He wasn't. Dukat grew passed the petty squabblings of the corporeal.
Probably because Damar's storyline sees him find a truly worthy cause to champion, whereas a lot of Dukat's story ends up wheel-spinning due to his obsession with power and messing with Sisko. Not that it's not entertaining, it's just not quite as compelling, ultimately.
I feel Dukat's story line went completely off the rails and downhill with the whole Pah-Wraith thing.
@@tylisirn after watching what Qanon has done to america, the whole Pah-Wraith cult thing now seems a little less absurd than it did in the 90s
"There's only one Damar"
"Should have killed me there is only one "demar. I will remember that. This is why I always like Worf.
"Eaten a good book lately?"
Sorry i can no longer unhear that line when Worf delivers onliners :D
@@Daniel-rd6st 😆 yeah q definitely funny
Worf snapping Weyouns neck is one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen
"I'm not sure it's wise for me to stay. What if the Vorta decides to pay you a visit?"
"And what if he does? He'll see me conferring with one of my officers. There's nothing suspicious about that."
Indeed. It's called "Hiding in plain sight."
"How little you understand me." Just sounds so brutal.
Of all the 'spin offs' DS9 is the best. I have to go thru the series again. Bravo Netflix..
9:11 Cardassia was so beautiful at this moment that our eyes could not interoperate it! :O
interpret?
@@nothankyouization That's how I interoperated it.
Garak a few moments after saying that:
"Now would somebody please turn on the damn lights!"
The first scene is one of the best in the entire series. I actually laughed out loud the first time.
You know the shit just got real when a starfleet admiral is shocked.
Honestly Admiral Ross is so bland he'll give you that "dull surprise" look every day that ends in y :P
1:22
Hey Weyoun, what did the 5 fingers say to the neck?
SNAP!!
Hey Weyoun, could you wring someone's neck with those hands?
Yes I could, Damar. The amount of times you constantly remind me, I really could.
Tell me, how many fingers do the vorta have on a hand then?
Five, just as you do. You'd surely already noticed?
And the other?
It's the same of course.
Oh. Snap.
“Well hellooooooo!”
I laughed my goddamn balls off the first time I saw that scene. Bitch-ass Weyoun was so sure of himself and punked Damar every chance he got and Worf just twisted his stupid head off because he was so sure of himself and now Weyoun #8 strolls in and Damar with his “well helloooooooo!” god... I loved it! It was so perfect.
I give the 500th like for the HOUSE OF MOGH! LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!
Worf-"There are FOUR vertebrae!" *snap* *snap* *snap* *snap*
Favourite lines: "Well hellooooo!" LMFAO
"Maybe you should talk to Worf again!" LOL
"I'm sure she'll understand, but if she doesn't, I look forward to meeting Weyoun 9." xDD (actually laughed when I first saw that line)
And even though it wasn't shown here: "Guilty as charged." Feel free to guess why I like that one xDD
best actor playing the best character on the best ST show
YES
Naw, Andrew Robinson as Garak was better.
Damar = von Stauffenberg
Damar is savage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy how damar went from villian to ally when realizing the cardassian were pawns to the dominion
"What are the charges!?"
Being too adorable to host Dax, Ezri.
'Well, hellooooooooo!'...😅😅😅
Damar died to soon
RIP
IKR
Yeah, but after he killed Dukat's daughter, you sort of knew he'd end up taking it in the neck.
he had to go.. he would've hindered Garak's rise to power. old cardassia needs to burn to eliminate all of Garak's enemies
I couldn't place the Cardassian Damar is plotting with, until I realized he's Neroon from Babylon 5.
WOW! Really, his voice/speech is really different as well. I would never have guessed.
I thought he was a B5 actor
I'm sure she'll understand... But if she doesn't, I look forward to meeting Weyoun 9 line is just one of the best lines I've ever heard from ds9 😂😂😂
"Maybe you should talk to Whorf again" :D Im dying ^^
Rusat: "Let's make Cardassia great again!"
*gets shot*
LOL, you had me on that
hahaha thats great
But the cardassian form of government runs along Democrat lines. No rights, except what the government deems you, government control of all aspects of life. Lifelong indoctrination from cradle to grave. Seems that cardassia was feeling the Bern from the get go.
Never ever ever turn your back on Garak.
Damar’s friend is a better Minbari than a Cardassian
It's not Neroon's line, but I often share the laugh with him...
"The next time - the next time you want a revelation - could you possibly find a way - that isn't quite so - uncomfortable?"
Always makes me laugh. Demar tells them should have killed me. There's only one demar. Worf looks him up and down like good to know.
9:15 the picture goes black!
LMFAO! Well HEELLOOOO!
Such a cold line "I look forward to meeting Weyoun 9" since Damar already knows the first target of his rebellion is to destroy the cloning facility where any future Weyouns are stored.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 I find it so funny how Worf just snapped his neck so quick and easy. That'll teach him not to say anything stupid next to a Klingon again.

Couldn't really appreciate the Cardassian Race until Damar showed up.
hold on while I drink while watching this.
cheap beer honors his memory, rite?
Worf just snapped Weyoun's neck with zero hesitation. That's what I call a power move.
"I'm still here Lesat" lol
Rusot
if the founder doesnt like it.. I look forward to meet Weyoun 9..... best troll ever
I love deep space 9
8:35 make the Cardassian empire great again
Victor Selve we will build an anti graviton emitter and the Bajorans will pay for it.
Damar was the only Cardassian on the show who always cut through the bullshit to get right to the point.
I think we should remember Damar was a military dictator. He just wanted a Cardassian one, not serve as a Dominion vassal. After the war I don’t see him as embracing representative government.
pretty hard to embrace representative government when you’re dead xD
Assuming he survived the final assault instead of being shot, he wouldn't have been allowed to serve in the new government anyway. The Federation alliance would never allow it, and instead would only install pacifist civilians to the posts.
....then Damar smiles AT the Breen
The balls on this guy
No Mirror Scene! The story of Legate Damar cannot be complete without the Mirror Scene.
I just LOVE the Cardassian Judiciary!
10 Weyouns talked to Worf again.
I remember having goosebumps watching damar's speech for the first time
I just realized that almost all Cardassians are wearing leg warmers.
They come from a very hot damp and dark world. Presumably they wear them to adapt to the cold damp starships.
Some people malign him for killing Dukat's daughter, but he, as a loyal son of Cardassia, had just heard someone confess to treason, and he acted. It was tragic, but to him, justified. I can understand this, and seeing the duality makes it all more tragic.
"God damn you Rusot, dont make me do this".
Hahaha. I had forgotten this episode
Damar's character development is one of the best ever written. First he's just a boring and bumbling henchman, then takes over and grows into the boots of Dukat's role as a chief villain, then becoming drunked demoralized and hopeless, then into a heroic freedom fighter, and lastly a tragic martyr
My favorite Cardassian
2:25 There's an episode of Seinfeld where Jerry breaks up with a woman because he gives her belly button a voice. "Helloooooo." The signal from 1996 just reached Cardassia. Damar is a big fan.
ua-cam.com/video/bjmgzLVuWLU/v-deo.html
0:42 The Cardassian totalitarian dogma makes for my favourite Damar quote.
8:39 that face Garak makes. It says so much
"Travel anywhere in Cardassia, and what do you find? Jem'hadar... Vorta... and now Breen."
7:00 Breen 1: *tilts head* "What's wrong with Breen?"
It’s a good point. The Breen probably didn’t realize the true situation when they signed up.
Damar had the BEST story arc in that show.
This is damn hilarious
I need to rewatch this show.
Shrenn, the Andorian from star trek enterprise! It was bugging me. Lol
If only the Russian public were as honourable and brave as the Cardassians.
If only Ukraine, Nato and the US didn’t break WW2 treaty and start the whole thing 🙄
It wasn't the Russians who did nothing as their government massacred people in Donbass for 8 years
DS9 was amazing at developing side characters.
9:11 Oh here's that scene where they were stuck on Cardassia when the power went out.
