10 Most Inappropriate Moments In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

2. Dukat Seducing Kai Winn

When Deep Space Nine threw together Dukat and Kai Winn, two of the show's most villainous characters, the stage was set for a climactic battle between the Prophets and the Pah-wraiths, not to mention the most nauseating romance this side of the Alpha Quadrant. Nobody ever needed to see this one.

"'Til Death Do Us Part" sees a surgically-altered Dukat arriving on Deep Space Nine, where he poses as the Bajoran farmer Anjohl Tennan. After meeting with Kai Winn, Dukat spins a yarn about how her intervention saved his life during the occupation. His ruse works like a charm, with Dukat seducing the kai by convincing her their fates are intertwined. Just when you thought Dukat couldn't get any worse.

Sure, Winn's a despicable character in her own right, but nobody deserves to be tricked like that. After Sisko's earlier actions, Deep Space Nine repeating this note is just flat-out wrong.

Even ignoring Dukat's ghastly deception for a moment, his stomach-turning pillow talk with Winn in the next episode is enough to send viewers screaming to the toilet. Listening to Winn ask about the man who shares her bed sounds like a line straight out of a romance novel. And not a very good one at that.
