    watching Marc Alaimo talk about Kira/Visitor in the DS9 doc What We Left Behind made my skin crawl. he came off like 100% of the creep Dukat was and that he wasn’t acting. And hearing Visitor talk about him also sounded like she was trying very hard to be nice and let on that Alaimo was/is a total creep.

    i don’t know the real story, but that’s sure the vibe i got.

      Well, that’s always disappointing. Didn’t Terry Farrell say that there was quite a bit of misogyny, too? Particularly from producers.I wonder how much is a toxic environment from there, how much is it normal behaviour at the time. Glad we’ve progressed. That’s the point of trek.

        this is a real rabbit hole to go down, but, long story short, Rick Berman and Brannon Braga were horrible to all of the women in the shows the produced, and Berman’s treatment, in particular, is why Farrell left DS9. He was extremely horrible to her.
