Well, in theory, they could pose the same kind of threat the Changelings posed—just instead of replacing people in positions of power, possess them. In practice, though, the fact that they always have to act like super ridiculous over-the-top moustache-twirling pantomime villains would probably give them away.FaxModem1 wrote:The problem is, for all intents and purposes, the great threat they will unleash are the Pah Wraiths. But, the Pah Wraiths are a paper tiger. We've seen the extent of their powers, and it boils down to possessing a middle aged botanist, with O'Brien able to kill one, Kai Winn able to make them run away by typing into a console. Dukat trying to conquer the galaxy with them just seemed silly.
For the same reason, I was always wondering why the Dominion weren't trying extra hard to retake the station after the events of "Sacrifice of Angels", so they could use it to fire those technobabble beams it's capable of producing into the wormhole, killing the Prophets and allowing them to bring in ships from the Gamma Quadrant again.It'd be darkly hilarious if the events of the finale happened, and instead of Sisko going alone with a phaser, he had the crew of the Defiant set up the same gas from the Reckoning and pumped it into the caves, with the device modifications from The Assignment, ending their reign of terror with SCIENCE!
