If you are a fan Star Trek: Deep Space NineThen you know that the show had a rocky first season, but the episode “Duet” emphasized the full potential of the show. This was an episode in which we learned more about Cardassians’ atrocities against Bajoran and more about Kira moved the transition from a freedom fighter to a military official. What most Deep Space Nine fans not However know about this episode that it was directly inspired A man in a glass cabRobert Shava Famous Play.
A man in a glass cab
If you have never seen the game of 1967, A man in a glass cab There is a Jewish man who has been arrested by Israeli authorities as a Nazi war criminal. The trial seems to be going well until the surprise reveals that he deliberately changed medical documentation to ask for his old Nazi tormentor. For Deep Space Nine Episode “The duo” we get a similar shocking discovery when it is discovered that Kardassian, who poses as an important war criminal, is a minor functionarist of the government who changed his own records, hoping that his prosecution will show the brutality that Cardassians caused to the Bajorans.
Initially the story was created Deep Space Nine Michael Piller, the host of his two internet shows, and had a very different idea of what the “duo” should be. They intended an episode in which really Cardassian be A war criminal and that Kira would be set to defend him. There was an obvious dramatic potential in such a assumption, but Piller did not love the original idea because he thought it was too similar Judgment in Nuremberg1961 movie that just happened to the star in the future Star Trek Icon William Shatter.
According to Piller, it was Deep Space Nine Producer and Pregnant Show Home Ira Steven Behr who gave us the spinning that gave it A man in a glass cab The feeling where the guy is not what he says, but does it for noble reasons. “This turn led to the prerequisite of the episode to feel fresh, as we rarely saw all the cardasians who seemed miserable about their war crimes against bajorans. We also saw the perception of Kira herself when she stopped seeing the accused man than another enemy and began to see her as a man of amazing sympathy.
While A man in a glass cab is a classic play that was adapted to an equally classic movie, you might say that Deep Space Nine Improves its formula with a “duet”. A little worrying is that the previous story never explains exactly why his Jewish hero is leaving his path to catch him and try to torment his Nazi. In the “duo” we know that Kardassian, who pretends to be a war criminal, is a fair reason… Namely, to raise the galactic understanding of the evil actions of his people, even if he helped to close the Bajoran people.
We are big believers Deep Space Nine There is a Star Trek best show, and the Duet is still one of its stunning episodes. It is meaty, filled with monologues and expands the franchise world, while giving us an insight into the inner depths of Kira, one of the most convincing characters in the show. Looking back, it’s pretty wise to realize that without Robert Shaw A man in a glass cabThe earliest masterpiece of DS9 may have never been in the air.
