During the war between the Cardassians and the Bjorans, many Cardassian children evidently become orphaned on Bajor. So Bajorian families took them in. Garak discovers one such child on DS9 and it turns out that this kid is racist against his own people. The Bajoran family seemingly raised him this way. So far I'm liking the idea of this episode. Seems interesting. But then it has to take a ridiculous turn.
The kids real father shows up (named Pa'Dar) and his son keeps calling him a butcher. So come to find out that Gul Dukat is a political enemy of Pa'Dar and he "planted" Pa'Dars own son in order to humiliate Pa'Dar. Something like that. Such a stretch.
The saving grace was that Pa'dar was played by Robert Mandan. Who I remember from seemingly every Game Show from the late 70s to the mid 80s.

One of the problems with Star Trek -- and I'm not necessarily talking about this episode in particular -- is that all alien races are the same. That is to say, all Klingons are warriors. All Cardassians are evil. All Ferengi are Jews, etc.
There are really no nice Cardassians? An entire planet of assholes? Come on. I live on the planet Earth, and just moving to Minnesota from Connecticut was a culture shock.
That is a damn fine point. All aliens seem to live up to their stereotype. I go from Massachusetts to New Hampshire and I'm like "these people are fucking weird"
I mean Neural Planet
