He had a redemption arc. The scene where he finds out his family has been killed by the Dominion and says “What kind of people could do this?” And Kira says “Yeah Damar. What kind of people could do this?” Deep.
There's another later after a set back for the Dominion. Weyoun 8 "I shall report this to the founder immediately" Damar "I'm sure she'll understand". "If not, I look forward to meeting Weyoun 9"
He's like Church from Red vs Blue. "Uuugh, I hate my life. Actually, no. I hate everyone else's lives. Wish they didn't have them." RvB fans may realize this was actually said by Tucker, who then wondered if he was turning into Church. It still seemed appropriate to credit Church with the general attitude of the line even though he never actually spoke it.
To this day my brothers and I still quote this to each other instead of saying stuff like "grab me a glass" "pass me the sauce" "you forgot your coat" etc 😄
I wonder if the morgue has a replicator big enough to recycle corpses, because I don't think the founders care/honor the Jem'Hadar or Vorta who die in their service, they don't want to bury or cremate them.
I loved when Casey Biggs was talking about when he auditioned for the part, and he asked "What, am I just some guy who stands at a console behind Gul Dukat?", and one of the writers said "Oh no! We have plans for this guy!". And they did indeed!
Damar killed Weyoun 5, ordered the death of Weyoun 6, almost pissed himself when Weyoun 7 got snapped by Worf and made jokes about meeting Weyoun 9. Damar only stayed as head of the Cardassion Union so he could fuck with Weyoun, I'm convinced of it.
You'd think that was just ad lib by the actor from one of the takes (as he sounded a bit too human) but because it was such a perfect delivery the director just decided to use it.
@@BJ_D I think Damar realized that his superiors made a deal with the devil (The Founders). Instead of being an equal ally they found themselves being more & more controlled by The Founders to be sacrificed for its cause (The Founders hate solids as they have godlike complex & want to be worship + in control of them). Having the genetically engineered slaves like the Weyuons there to oversee & deal with the Cardasians by The Founders was a slap to the face.
loved that Damar showed some respect for Worf’s resolve to kill his captors despite the seemingly futile nature of it and let’s him live knowing that he really didn’t do anything of consequence...
It took an evil like Weyoun to turn Damar into a hero. Under Dukat's rule Damar was just under the impression that his loyalty served his country however evil it may be. Even killing Dukat's daughter was for Cardassia. Weyoun broke his spirit so hard his conscience returned. 😄
@@jameshagan2832 Some of them are outright evil. There is even the Weyoun who was okay with killing Odo, one of their gods. They are not brainwashed, they are engineered that way from birth. Brainwashing suggests a prior context when they didn't think the Founders were gods which was never the case for the clones.
I love how Weyoun doesn't even realize that Worf's hands are holding his head when his neck snaps. He's still smiling at Ezri, all mirth and evil. Then CRUNCH!
He is also a very funny man. I didn’t know he was actually drinking the kanar every take until he revealed it was pancake syrup and the producers told the prop department to switch to the sugar free syrup because they were worried about killing him with diabetes.
Not only was this an amusing moment for the legate Damar, this video also includes the very moment when Weyoun 8 caused the Dominion's defeat in the Alpha Quadrant,
@@TigerGoblin He’s referring to how Weyoun 8 let the Breen take over Damar’s command center without his consent. That was the moment he realized Cardassia had become a total puppet state of the Dominion as opposed to an equal and began to plan his rebellion, beginning with helping Worf and Ezri escape later on in the episode.
@@Kagekatsu1 It's not totally about the databases though. The idea that the leader of Cardassia had to report to a brand new alliance member can be construed as nothing but a deliberate slap in the face to their status.
@@Kagekatsu1 Weyoun 8 was acting on the direct orders of the Founder. So the Female Changeling made the decision that caused the Dominion's defeat in the Alpha Quadrant. although she may have had to do that to bring the Breen in.
@@Kagekatsu1 that's also technically the founder's fault. She ordered that too. Weyoun never acts on his wants,all he does is what the founders orderedl
I cannot stress how funny this scene was, Damar's performance was well recieved, his scenes and development were second to none. Here's to the good ol' days.
Gotta love when Damar is kicking back with his bottle one minute then mocking Weyoun, only to be utterly humiliated by the presence of the Breen moments later.
@@subcommanderxelios800 I actually think it is more Ezri getting tired of his being so dramatic. Of course Jadzia would have played into it a little bit while still helping him up. Something like "You keep falling for me, Worf and we'll be stuck here forever." Or: "And let you have all the glory? I think not." Ezri has managed to find herself a bit and has had enough of his Klingon posturing.
Casey Biggs who played Damar, said that these two scenes were some of his favorites. He and Jeffrey Combs (Weyoun) were obviously enjoying these scenes.
Underrated? It was the crescendo of the entire franchise. For one, it was better than most other series because it wasn't serialized. That includes TOS, TNG, and VOY. It was the only one where each episode had meaning and continuity in all following episodes.
@@SwankyKitteh82 I think you mean it WAS serialized----the entire Dominion War was a multi-season serialized story arc. The other series were largely procedural, aka, "story of the week" style storytelling.
This is some superb acting! Imagine Damar going through this like it's some kind of nightmare and he is so tired of it that begins to laugh at whole irony of it. When he saw Weyoun 8 he must have been thinking 'o shit, they've cloned a new one already and the old one hasn't even cooled down yet.'

thats some serious pre planning. that would explain how he plays the role so well throughout the series. I thought he was just a regular actor, they really went all out getting a good castQ! @@BillinHungary
It was obvious that Damar always hated Weyoun. I always thought Damar's disenchantment began when Septimus 3 fell to the Klingons, with over half a million Cardassian dead, and then 'territorial concessions of a few minor planets' to the Breen added to the hatred. But when Damar had to give reports (and probably take orders from) Thot Gor, a Breen, while in Central Command, the heart of the Cardassian military, that was probably the moment Damar began to think of rebellion.
In the scene where he "sobers up" and realizes what Cardassia has become, he smashes the drink up against the wall. He said later, that he was thinking "I will never have to drink this crap again!"
@@BillinHungary then it could have been chocolate ganache. I think they just wanted to torture Casey. If they wanted to give him something that wouldn't harm him they would make a effort
Random trivia fact I read online. The Kanar that Damar is drinking is maple syrup. The production set didn’t think the actor would drink it in a gulp, but he did, and of course, there were a few takes lol.
What a great actor Casey Biggs! (Damar) He playes all the different nuances of the character all at once. I wouldn´t be suprised if the producers decided to make his originally small role grow more and more important, merely because they saw how much efford he put into it.
No they actually hired him with the bigger role in mind because they knew he was capable of it - otherwise they would have hired a nobody to stand next to Dukat in the first episode holding a 24th century version of a clipboard.
Despite being clones, I like how Jeffrey Combs gave each one a slightly different variation on the main personality. For example, the first Weyoun we met was treacherous. Weyoun 5 had a better sense of humor and slightly more friendly and gentle personality than the others. Weyoun 7 always presented a cheerful front while being as snake like as any other Vorta, and Weyoun 8....ah, Weyoun 8. The last Weyoun. He was much more likely than the others to drop the mask and act threatening and patronizing.
Damar arc was really nice to watch. His role is so insignificant at the beginning of the show and his character evolution was really interesting in these 2 last seasons.
Its been so many years I couldn't tell you where, but I seem to remember reading that it was intentional, and that the look of the Breen was directly inspired by Leia's diguise as Bosch.
thats how i have always felt. i always wondered if lucas suggested they do that and even encouraged it as a bit of mutual love for sci fi series. He was running ILM back then and they did some of the special effects i believe for space stuff.
It's certainly impressive that he has quite the infectious mood of humor from the start of "Well hellooo." And then suddenly the mood changes the moment the Breen walk in the room.
A subtlety here with the Breen is that the characters on the show can understand them, but the TV viewer can't. It's just like Arnold The Pig on Green Acres, and Cousin Itt on The Addams Family.
Not my comment but one that needs to be shared again: "When Weyoun came back, Damar offered him some Kanar...a drink traditionally served in a bottle with a twisted neck" XD
Damar is so cool. He treats Weyoun like the joke that he is. Then when Weyoun 8 walks in, his laugh says it all: “Oh God, here we go again.” 😂 Then to top it off, “Maybe you should talk to Worf again.” 😅
I doubt anyone expected liking Damar when he was introduced, but he did have some rather endearing moments.
"Helloooo!"
maybe you should talk to Worf again🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He was only supposed to be a one off. But the writers ended up liking him and he became a regular.
I liked his character and always referred to him as Legate Damar even after he gains status as a Gul before Dukat went into hiding.
He had a redemption arc. The scene where he finds out his family has been killed by the Dominion and says “What kind of people could do this?” And Kira says “Yeah Damar. What kind of people could do this?” Deep.
Oh you miss judge him! Let us drink!
"Maybe you should talk to Worf again." I just love that line it's awesome😂
It's genuinely hard to act as if you're laughing. He nails it in that scene.
See if there's a Weyoun 9.
Me too 😂
There's another later after a set back for the Dominion.
Weyoun 8 "I shall report this to the founder immediately"
Damar "I'm sure she'll understand". "If not, I look forward to meeting Weyoun 9"
And perfectly delivered.
Damar simultaneously hating his life but hating Weyoun's more is the best.
For Cardassia!!!!😃

I feel like Damar is a truly underrated character.

Damar only stayed as head of the Cardassion Union so he could fuck with Weyoun, I'm convinced of it.
Weyoun 5 died in a "transporter accident" a full investigation found no wrong doing
And what was his first act after resisting? Blow up the cloning facility holding Weyoun's genome.
Damar's commitment to being the galaxy's biggest hater is admirable. I hope the new Cardassia remembers that side of the man, he deserves it.
Honestly the only one who was ever nice to Weyoun was Odo. Even the founders treated him like garbage lol.

Weyoun 5 had a better sense of humor and slightly more friendly and gentle personality than the others. Weyoun 7 always presented a cheerful front while being as snake like as any other Vorta, and Weyoun 8....ah, Weyoun 8. The last Weyoun. He was much more likely than the others to drop the mask and act threatening and patronizing.
When the party goes out of control and you've had one kanar too many.

NECK-BREAKAAAAAAAAARR!!!!!!!!
Worf may not know the Cardassian neck trick like Odo does, but he does a mean Vorta neck twist!
Damar arc was really nice to watch. His role is so insignificant at the beginning of the show and his character evolution was really interesting in these 2 last seasons.
There's only one Damar, drinking Kanar, at Quark's bar.
Those helmets look like they’ve been recycled from Princess Leia‘s disguise in Jabbah’s palace
I, too, always felt they belong more in star wars then star trek.
@@MechaShadowV2 Exactly
Its been so many years I couldn't tell you where, but I seem to remember reading that it was intentional, and that the look of the Breen was directly inspired by Leia's diguise as Bosch.
thats how i have always felt. i always wondered if lucas suggested they do that and even encouraged it as a bit of mutual love for sci fi series. He was running ILM back then and they did some of the special effects i believe for space stuff.
A great few moments from Damar. Stellar acting by Casey here.
Weyoun: **snap**
Damar: You should've killed me.
Worf: With those traps? You must be kidding.
WHY HELLOOO!!!!
Season 7 Damar was a treasure.
Well hellooooooo! (Snarky laugh) … dope 💥
It's certainly impressive that he has quite the infectious mood of humor from the start of "Well hellooo." And then suddenly the mood changes the moment the Breen walk in the room.
I was not ready for that Damar had me laughing all night on that one.
A subtlety here with the Breen is that the characters on the show can understand them, but the TV viewer can't. It's just like Arnold The Pig on Green Acres, and Cousin Itt on The Addams Family.

Well helllooo 😭 Damars a straight savage haha.
Not my comment but one that needs to be shared again:
"When Weyoun came back, Damar offered him some Kanar...a drink traditionally served in a bottle with a twisted neck"
XD
Well hello 🤣🤣
My standard phrase when greeting people.
Damn, Worf went all Man Of Steel on his ass!
Goddamn right he did

@@lil18thletterking77 with being as polite as I can, I don’t tell you what you should or shouldn’t do or say. Extend me the same courtesy
@@lordnixon7512 but aren't you telling me what to do/say or not do/say right now?
Perhaps but more like responding in kind. You let me know your stance and I let you know mine
"Let's drink to Weyoun 7"😂
Damar is so cool. He treats Weyoun like the joke that he is. Then when Weyoun 8 walks in, his laugh says it all: “Oh God, here we go again.” 😂 Then to top it off, “Maybe you should talk to Worf again.” 😅
"Maybe you should talk to Worf again"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"There's only one Damar!"
Yeah!
Weyoun was under a lot of stress. After dealing with Worf he finally snapped.
😂

Garak, Damar, Dukat. Cardassians are the greatest trolls in the universe. 🤣
"there's only one Damar!"
It’s a federal crime for a girl to be that cute.
"And as he wondered what popped before he got popped..." 😳 Dr. Dre.
Poor Damar never got to take a proper sip
Casey Biggs might've done that intentionally - apparently it's a lot like drinking corn syrup
@@jerodast I'd heard that too, you can really see how viscous it is in that scene where he throws it onto a mirror
1:59 you're welcome!
Weyoun is DS9’s answer to Kenny.
2:52 "bro, if you want to die so bad just take my sidearm"
It really felt like he was trying to level with him 🤔
