Ironic that killing characters is a way to get rid of the actor. In this case, they made it a plot point to bring him back. I also like how each “vintage” of Weyoun is a little different.
The thing about Weyoun is that he is extensively genetically modified and brainwashed to be completely loyal to the Founders' cause. The practical upshot of this is that he is, at all times, pretty much the only person around who is earnest and straightforward about everything. Which is not to say that he doesn't lie, and that he isn't often a catty bitch, because he does a fair bit of both. But it's rarely necessary for him, because most often his job is to try and convince people to find a peaceful resolution, and he is so absolutely certain that the Founders' desires are morally correct that he really DOES want that resolution. The trouble is that the Founders don't. If he had not had his ability to be annoyed by them surgically removed, he'd be the most frustrated and put-upon lackey ever. Instead, he does a fairly admirable job switching priorities on the fly when it turns out that what he earnestly believed in five minutes ago was actually a trick. The guy is a simple, pure, honest fellow, who happens to be on the Backbiting and Betrayal Show, working for the Backbiting and Betrayal Faction. No wonder he gets so tetchy when he can get away with it.
The more power Weyoun gets though from being just in command of one Jem'Hadar platoon to basically the majordomo of the Dominion, he does get more incredibly brutal especially towards any Cardassian who remotely steps out of line.
Depends on the history. The Star Trek Galaxy is depicted as a brutal and lawless place outside the boundaries of civilisations that have grown strong enough to enforce peace in their territory. The founding narrative of the Dominion is that the shapeshifters were victims of aggressive behaviour before they created an empire to impose order through military force. Weyoun and other Vorta may sincerely believe that the Dominion guarantees stability and peaceful coexistence for member species, based on their own history. The basis for conflict is that the Federation believes all member worlds have the right to parliamentary representation, whereas the Founders want their clients and genetically engineered servants firmly under control. The Vorta may be diplomatic negotiators but if they or the Founders lose patience then there's always the Jem'Hadar waiting to commit genocide.
I love how this Weyoun is so bored by the ceremony of handing out White to the Jem'Hadar, when the later version seen in A Time to Stand treats it with full reverence.
One of those videos where you absolutely have to watch all the way to the end. I laughed a little hard at the Gem Hadar response to him asking to inspect the wreckage.
Lol Jeffrey combs is the best part of anything he’s in. Best part of enterprise as well. Pronouncing the H in white “your next allowance of wHite is in two hours!”
I bet the only reason that the Dominion had people read a profile about Sisko was that he had a Founder willingly answering to him and anyone THAT powerful had to be understood at all costs. Also he kind of had control over their only way in and out of the Alpha Quadrant so that also didn't help.
*HOW HAVE WE NEVER HEARD OF THE "ICONIANS" BEFORE OR AFTER THIS EPISODE!!??* _that seems like a fascinating subject!_ 🧐🤔🤨🤷🏼 ((I know there was that one episode of TNG that a common ancestor to (i think?:) Klingons, Romulans/vulcans, Cardassians and humans..? But I don't think they were ICONIANS??)) _Correct me if im wrong!?!?_ #Mass_Antecedents
Sisko will always be my top favourite in this show, but Weyoun is another I loved because he was always so loyal and intelligent, even though at times he did fumble but he was such a good character, funny how he is played by the same actor as Shran and Gowron as those two where my favourites too in the other Star Treks, big props to Jeffrey Combs for being so talented
Word is that when the last clone was killed, the genetic coding was sent through a transwarp that bypassed the laws of time and space. Weyoun was reborn with blue skin, antennae, and a strong dislike for pointy ears. Maybe because it was some strange remnant of his former self.
To bad they killed off the last wayun clone in the last episodes of ds9. Be fun to see him come back as a new villain or even a manipulate rival to someone on one of the newer episodes
General reminder that the immortality gimmick of the Vortas was made *because* Combs as Weyoun was so fun to watch
We know
I didn’t know that but true
The repeated killing and cloning of Weyoun was a genius move from the writers.
I have no doubt that Jeffery Combs absolutely loved the idea when it came up.
"Oh, I can keep coming back? Excellent."
Ironic that killing characters is a way to get rid of the actor. In this case, they made it a plot point to bring him back. I also like how each “vintage” of Weyoun is a little different.
Jeffery Combs came up with that idea, pitched it to Braga, who then brought it up to the writers who all agreed that this was a genius move.
@@LazyReptile23also Combs's idea. Also speaks to the Founders' inherent "superiority;" they couldn't perfect the cloning process....
My favorite was the episode with the rogue Weyoon who tried to defect.
Weyoun was so annoyed he couldn’t enjoy the textures of his food :)
Taste, he couldnt taste. He can sense texture.

Well once your aware of how he operates then you can usually get through the BS and figure him out

I met Jeff Combs by mistake once. Hearing that voice in my very ears was one of the greatest moments of my life. 😁
I love how this Weyoun is so bored by the ceremony of handing out White to the Jem'Hadar, when the later version seen in A Time to Stand treats it with full reverence.
I like how every Weyoun is slightly different
Jeffery Combs is a national treasure. Protect him at all costs. (and bring him back to Star Trek!)
He did at least get to voice an evil computer in Lower Decks.
@@Justin.Franks It's always a joy to hear his voice. He brings so much to every character he plays.
He was excellent in Star Trek Enterprise as well.
I love how casually O'Brien raises his phaser at the end.
Good trigger discipline
*blurry-background Weyoun with his bad eyes*
“That’s very short-sighted of you, Captain.”
We need a Trek show with a ship entirely made of Jeffrey Combs characters
Shran and Weyouns show.
The Alpha Quadrant Alvin & Chimpmucks
I particularly love the comment about "a bored drug dealer" :D
Jeffrey combs great actor. 17 different appearances on 🌟 star trek🎇🛸
that actor is did such a great job, he also did a bunch of voice acting in video games,
all the actors on ds9 did an amazing job, really. sisko was amazing, the writers gave him all the charachter he could work with.
@@hibbidyjibbidyy Avery Brooks basically workshopped his character with the writers from day one, so he could make sure Sisko was well written.
The Weyouns always seemed pleasant, but I’ve always found passive aggression much more annoying then outright aggression
Clarence Williams III absolutley killed it as Omet'iklan
One of those videos where you absolutely have to watch all the way to the end. I laughed a little hard at the Gem Hadar response to him asking to inspect the wreckage.
Any scene in DS9 and Enterprise was made the better for him. Such a presence.
0:24 only just noticed that a "loyal" Jem'hadar basically flat out refused to answer a founders question or even acknowledge his existence.
Jeffrey Combs such a fantastic actor
we’re gonna need more of these
Steve Shives had it right. Middle management and a company man.
Wayoun is basically Loki.
Weyoun is the biggest simp in the galaxy
My favourite Villain from Deep Space Nine
Another great Weyoun-scene I remember from the series is the one where Jake tried to interview him. Can that scene be uploaded here?
That was Weyoun 6...or 7. It's so easy to lose track.
@@Taospark Actually, that one was Weyoun 5.
Lol Jeffrey combs is the best part of anything he’s in. Best part of enterprise as well. Pronouncing the H in white “your next allowance of wHite is in two hours!”
Jeffrey Combs voice-over in the latest Star Trek Lower Decks episode was absolutely fantastic!

Weyoun was excellent diplomat
love him so much
Isn’t this this guy that was on enterprise as the blue andorian captain that was friends with Captain Archer?
Yes, he also played Brunt and a number of other characters.
Commander Shran of the Imperial Guard.
Yes
I’m not a massive Star Trek fan but only recently I noticed how many different characters this dude played 😁 Brunt FCA
I love that Vorta are diplomats but have no social skills.
Very good edit :)

ST:TNG S2E11
Remember the time Weyoun was at Quark's and settled a dispute between his two companions by drinking poison?

Any one single
scenes, better than the entire season of discovery
No-one asked.
100% one single line even.
@@Jokie155and no-asked you to reply
4:30 lmao
Jeffrey Coombs❤sooo good
.. he sounds like Winnie the pooh
what a great villian
If drug addicts were as trust worthy, smart and non violent... as these killer warriors...
I'd definitely become a dealer
That jem hadar was quick to refuse odos question. That's blasphemous!
I wonder what Q and Weyoun's conversation would be like 😁
I, Anton Goykhman alive, and I intend to stay that way. Unlike the rebels. 😊
Only 5 more Weyouns to go.
4:46 Wall-E 🥤
Star Trek Deep Space Nine to me was the best Star Trek series ever made
Great video! Not sure I'd call those 7 minutes "straight" tho...
To bad they killed off the last wayun clone in the last episodes of ds9. Be fun to see him come back as a new villain or even a manipulate rival to someone on one of the newer episodes
The first scene is weird that Weyoun doesn’t say something fawning to Odo.
I was saying, include where the Jem Hadar shoot weyun for doubting them, Final scene, Good.
These jem hadar were pretty uppity
Maybe don't piss off a bald Sisko?
*I cant stand Weyoun!!*
_But i Love Shran!!_ Lol
🧐🤔😆🤷🏼
:D
Weyoun was so tedious.
Why did you put a bunch of cringey text on it?
