What happened to the Vorta's empathic ability? In one of the earlier episodes when they first showed Vorta, one of the Vortas sort of shot out something, telepathically. I'm pretty sure that Vorta are empathic.

Hmm...are we saying that the Vorta are supposed to be telepathic: able to read minds, empathic: able to read emotions, or telekinetic: able to move objects with the power of the mind?
At any rate, it is generally held that Eris was specially designed for that specific situation.

Yes, I believe the word we're all looking for here is Telekinetic. Troi is Empathic, Betazoids in general are telepathic, Eris had telekinetic abilities.

Of all the shown aliens, Vorta is the species that I like the best. (right after Vulcans...LOL) What happens to the Vorta now that the war is over? All the Star Trek shows, in the beginning, invent all kinds of "cool" aliens; but as time goes on, as if cannot be controlled, they (the writters) always humanize all the aliens. I think that is not right. For example, the Ferengi (sp) now show human characterics, even the Founders. It'll be no time before they turn Klingons into a bunch of bad temper humans....

It'll be no time? Check out TOS! That's all Klingons were during TOS is a bunch of angry humans. I think that the development of Klingon culture have been great. They've given us insights into Klingon religion, language, and politics. Not as much as I'd like, but still...
I don't like the Ferengi conversion though although I think as far as cultural consistency goes, the Ferengi have held up the best over the years seeing as how they've been represented in all three TNG era shows.

When did the Dominion get destroyed? I think they're still there, not like what it used to be but still there. And I dont' think the Vorta still be extinct. As long as the Founders are alive, they will keep on producing the Vorta. Think of it, Vorta are an important subspecies of the Dominion. The entire Dominion society could not survive without the Vorta or event he Jem'hardar for that matter. The Vorta are like StarFleet officers; and withouth StarFleet officers, the Fed will not survive. Applying the same principle, the Dom cannot survive without its Vorta. I love the Vorta....:::sniff::::::::sob::::::

And the cloning facitlty was destroyed in the alpha quad. While the Alpha quadrant taskforce, fleet of the dominoion was taking losses, the Gamma quadrant part may have been spared and may have made up for hte ships and forces that were sent over.
This means that the gamma quadrant Dmion would still have the cloning facilites and a full capcity fleet ready for anything.

When did the Federation ever fight the Dominion in the Gamma Quadrant during the war?
In fact, I don't think they did. The Vorta won't die out cause they're still be made there.

$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Right. When the Dommie fleet was destroyed in the wormhole, the implication was that that event kept the Dommie from sending more ships through for fear they would be destroyed again. And the Fed had no reason to take the war to another front.
The Dominion could still be alive and well, but the issue will be what will become of the nature of the Dominion after Odo's return. My guess is that the Vorta especially will still be around (the Founders did make their ancesters a promise after all). Also, they are not dependant on the Founders for life necessarliy. They simply worship them. The Jem'Hadar are another story. It'll be interesting to see.
