Since there were no Jem'Hadar females, it would have been impossible for them to procreate outside of their test-tube maturation methods. That would have given the Dominion the upper hand even if they went rogue.
4:30 Except the structure is made of solid neutronium. Like the hull of the doomsday machine. So the only sure thing from "Nuke it from orbit" is "we did not penetrate their armor".
2:10 - "You don't have the time? You don't have the _time??_ Oh please, you'll have to do better than that, Weyoun. If you want _my_ help, you'll have to convince me that galactic conquest leaves your people without a spare moment to deal with homegrown rebellions."
Was the stargate actually shown in the episode? If so, the 200,000 years ago time frame, would that coincide with the actual stargate timeframes with the ancients? Or was this just a fluff piece?
Great job with this mash up. Amazing how 20 years after this show was on air, it still so popular today. Just amazes me. Show great it was and how clueless current generation is making the shows. Simple, character develpment and story is all that is needed with some good special effects. Now its all special effects with shitty story telling and no character development.
@4:03 actor Clarence Williams as the Jem'Hadar First Omet'iklan in this episode "To the Death" is just great. In his speaking and in his body language he conveys the pent-up tension we all come to associate with the ruthless shock troops of the Dominion.
Even if the quantum torpedoes couldn't completely level the compound, it damned well would have taken out everything outside and probably most of whatever was inside. They would have starved them out of whatever was inside very quickly. Their Ketracel White supply would have run out and job done.
I find it hard that the JemHadar rebelled. Something else was going on. From what I have seen the JemHadar are extremely compliant to the Founders. That Vorta was not telling the whole truth.even in this clip the JemHadar 1st confronts the Vorta about their loyalty!
They're addicted to the White and bred from birth to be ultra loyal to the Founders and the Dominion even with that it's not entirely surprising that some of them eventually rebelled given the numbers they must be produced in, though these small instances may well be isolated it's possible it's more common than they like to pretend.
It all started when one Jem'Hadar developed a mutation where he was no longer addicted to the white and was trying to wean his platoon off it through training. He killed his units Weyun and they all went rogue.
They also have been engineered to have a life expectancy of about 10 years, you could just wait for them to die out of old age. These are soldiers not engineers, especially since thier skills at engineering had allready been seen to be lacking. It makes you wonder, how does the dominion repair thier ships anyway?
@@JemHadar422 the episode where the defiant gets stranded on a planet with a Jem Hadar warship, and they couldn't fix thier communications. But we can account the vorta rationing the white to some of that.
@@Locutus494 We don't actually know how long the Iconians were around for, only that they died 200,000 years ago. There's very little that's actually known about them in canon.
Weyoun 4 said it best. "There's something to be said for soldiers who aren't afraid to die". Now I don't agree with this assessment all the time but imagine how many lives would have been saved if Starfleet had rammed the Borg cube at Wolf 359 from multiple angles simultaneously. Despite Picards knowledge and their ability to adapt I doubt a standard cube would be able to withstand the direct force of say 24 starships (nearly half the fleet) warp cores exploding plus the combined torpedoes on board, the size of the antimatter explosions on all sides (4 ships per side in a square formation top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right, all 6 sides) would surely destroy it.
yet a few blasts from Enterprise D whacked holes in the first Cube. Cube should have been ripped apart with 40 trico-bolts or 100 torpedoes and phasers firing all a once! Don't they have Nukes? A few shots in the same place from diff ships and different frequencies should have popped it. Should build better weapons or beam the bombs inside. Minigun firing plasma torpedoes that warp at target!!! Bathtub of red matter!!!!!
@@develynseether4426 I'm actually massively disappointed by what they did with the Borg in Voyager. They literally basically got rid of the entire original concept for this stupid beehive thing with the queen. The unfeeling uncaring singular consciousness of the Borg from their first encounter that gave such an incredible atmosphere is just completely destroyed cuz they feel like just another alien race that looks like people now. Their whole thing was that they didn't have any individuality that's like their whole fucking thing and then they just turn around and get rid of that in Voyager for some reason. Basically just turned them into the Dominion part 2
They didn't want to destroy it, but couldn't risk it falling into Jem'Hadar _or_ Dominion hands. Instantaneous transport to any planet in the Quadrant (and beyond) is a staggering advantage. Even supposing they had taken it, it would have instantly forced the Dominion into a corner, escalating the war and resulting in massive casualties. After all, the Dominion killed 900,000,000 Cardassians in retribution for the Union defecting, imagine what they'd do if the Link itself was suddenly in perpetual danger no matter where they located it.
@@kw9849 actually the plan was to eliminate the Cardassians all along. The Dominion was using them to conquer the Alpha quadrant. Once completed..bye bye Cardies! “Your people were doomed the moment they attacked us”

The White?! Wasn't that the stuff in that weird vampire show that ended a few years ago? Oh, what the hell was it called...The Strain! That's it. With Corey Stoll. I guess the writers were DS9 fans.
The Dominion’s species never learn and never change. The purpose of involving Sisko, instead of sending a fleet, in the Gateway Operation, was to infect Odo and force his return to his homeworld.
General rule in Star Trek is you can't attack when cloaked. Presumably you either can't fire at all, or if you DO try to fire when cloaked it has some kind of recoil that kills you.
@@robertmcintyre9023 I think typically, whenever a ship is cloaked, it is unshielded, even at this point, cloaking devices on starships are still a relatively new technology
They said ships cannot fire while cloaked because of the great amount of energy that cloaking requires. Perhaps physical contact or firing weapons could disrupt the cloak.
In Star Trek there have only been two ships capable of firing while clocked: one klingon bird of pray, and one reman warbird. Both ships were destroyed in their only battles when other means we're used to locate the ships (thruster exhaust and a phycic link), at which point their inability to use shields while cloaked caused significant damage, and that was the end of the cloak. Why only these two prototype ships possessed the ability? Because otherwise Star Trek battles would look very dull for the audience.
They are all evil for not helping the Jam Hadar who are fighting for their own Freedom. I mean the Protagonists of this Story the Star Trek Deep Space Nine are evil too for not helping the slaves.
So 1 or 2 quantum torpedoes wouldn't "necessarily" take out the structure? I guess they are running low on torpedoes? Why not use 4 or 6 or 8? They need to hire some US military industrial complex robber barons to ramp up construction for a "small fee".
It was made of solid neutronium (same as the Doomsday machine) so all continual bombardment would do was take out the planetary surface. I suppose with enough rounds, they could destroy the planet but the structure would remain as a solid piece floating in space.
Except they could just show up at the Federation Council, Romulan Senate, etc during a major gathering and start blasting then retreat back thru the gateway. No more leadership and no way to counter attack. Follow up by striking critical infrastructure and military targets by appearing behind any defenses and as before retreat before any counter attack. The initial numbers would be able to do much as attrition would wipe them out after a few attacks but if they rallied a rebel army and moved the gateway to another world without being discovered, they'd be able to strike with impunity. Following up with traditional fleets and invasions after crippling a target with a gateway attack and they'd be unstoppable and impossible to retaliate against.
@@davidkelly4210 With the ability to be transported anywhere, they could also use the gateway to emerge right inside an anti-matter reaction chamber, causing instant destruction to whatever ship/station it might be which would be key targets. "Victory is life" mentality would not hesitate one second for this to happen.
Because he was overstepping his boundaries - the end of the episode has the Chief apologizing and says he will accept charges to be brought against him, but Julian says he isn't that type of guy to do that.
But I don't like comparing none of them to Jews since Jews are a people that would probably never be on the same level, since their potential to do great things is lower, but just in different ways... That's also how you would define great too.
RIP Clarence Williams III. One of (if not) the best portrayals of a Jem Hadar leader.
