Headscratchers / Star Trek: Deep Space Nine S03 E05 "Second Skin"

  • In Tribunal we found out that all Cardassians have their molar extracted at the age of 10. You'd think this would have been an easy way to determine that Kira wasn't actually Cardassian.
    • A spy might have had it put back in as part of the cover, particularly one going to the Bajorians who've seen a lot more Cardassian bodies than the Federation and are more paranoid.
      • If Cardassians could install a new molar, this just raises more headscratchers about why they wouldn't have done so in "Tribunal." Cardassians are hardly lazy when it comes to espionage.
    • Or, you know, have a memory of being tortured by Cardassians, and having THAT specific molar removed...Or getting it removed in a childhood incident. (Hit in the jaw...)
      • Kira never has any memories of being a Cardassian. This fact is vital for the real ploy.
