[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I also just saw "Journey's End" on the reruns just last week. It's correct that in the original setup, the colonists were supposed to renounce their Federation citizenship. And that little fact somehow got forgotten after a while. Of course, it's possible that they really DID ditch their citizenship, but were persecuted by the Central Command anyway, regardless of Gul Evek's assurances. That doesn't explain why the Federation was still involved, or why the dialogue continued to indicate their status as Federation citizens. My favorite line, though, is the very [i]definition[/i] of the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone: [QUOTE]NECHEYEV (continuing) These will be the official boundaries... you'll notice that a demilitarized zone has also been created along the border. Neither side will be permitted to place military outposts, conduct fleet exercises, or station warships anywhere in the demilitarized area.[/QUOTE]Gee, THAT really went over quite well, didn't it? I wonder just what the definition of "warships" was supposed to be, anyway. I remember that Picard's task force in "Preemptive Strike" was careful to stay out of the DMZ, and did not pursue the Maquis ships when they broke off before leaving that region... but considering that Voyager, Gul Evek's ship, the Defiant, the Malinche, and probably a few others were all cruising around in there at various points, that seems to be a rather porous restriction. As for that Cardassian ship mentioned in "The Voyager Conspiracy"... that COULDN'T have been Evek's ship, because Evek would have to have been taken at the same time as Chakotay's ship. And why would the Cardassians have been sent back and not the Maquis? Especially considering the Caretaker's weakened state? [/QB][/QUOTE]
