Maybe he suffered from that god syndrome some doctors seem to have. Thinking they're god or something. And he does become a Bajoran God in a sense.Cpl Kendall wrote:I thought he was a religious psychopath, myself.

One can give him a pass in "Sacrifice of Angels;" by the time the prophets intervened he was in the middle of performing a suicidal act out of extreme desperation. One might object to Gods helping determine the outcome of a war, but it's just a blip compared to the pagh-wraith possessed Dukat. However, watching Dukat transform from euphoria to anguish and then go totally bonkers at the end of that ep is one of my favotite scenes in DS9.

SoA isn't the problem - Sisko's attitude in "Rapture", "The Reckoning", "Image in the Sand", "Shadows and Symbols", "'Til Death Do Us Part" and "What You Leave Behind" is the problem. In every one of those episodes he acted as if the Prophets' were infallible, and their every wish should be adhered to to the letter.Captain Picard's Hair wrote:One can give him a pass in "Sacrifice of Angels;"

I iknow about all of that - I was noting the exception, not disregarding the rule. Plus, it's worth pointing out that Dukat's meltdown is really fun to watch.
