      To me, it seemed like he was talking about localized slavery. One people originating entirely from a certain planet who come to own and abuse another people from the same planet. The ghoulies are closer to the borg or a hivemind than traditional slavers, in many ways, so examining starfleet’s response to the borg would probably yield a better understanding of their response.

            The Cardassians were more of a DS9 thing, I think they only featured in a few random TNG episodes

              Just a few random eps…and two of the most quoted and referenced episodes of the whole franchise! Between Capt. Jellico and “There are Four Lights” c/risa is about 20% content from those two episodes. (I’m not telling you off here, just adding my amazement at what an impact that two-parter has had).

                Oh shit I totally forgot about those episodes, been a while since I last rewatched TNG. Great point though, they definitely are memes in themselves

          Well for one I don’t remember the goa’uld having a tailor with an ambiguous sexual orientation and a murky past who’s besties with a human doctor, so there’s that at least?

            I mean, not quite the same… but there was Nerus.

                He’s a fun one. Just don’t get too close when he has a cupcake in his sights.

      Pulaski ❤ People generally seem to really dislike her, but I think she was way more interesting as a character than Bev

          No disagreement there. I think that “roughness” to her was what made the character interesting in the first place, Bev’s a bit milquetoast in comparison
