“My child, if I thought the Prophets wanted you to know the purpose of my visit, I would have informed you of it in advance.”
this actress was so visceral in her performance as to emotionally scar multiple generations of humans.
if thats not successful acting, i dont know what is
She triggers me every single time she shows up on rewatches.
Louise Fletcher from all accounts was a lovely human. But man she plays bitch wonderfully
In. Everything. She. Ever. Did.

Ds9 — here’s the thing— IMDB only lists her as being in 14 !!! Episodes.
She put on a masterclass of making the audience uncomfortable in every single scene she was in, incredible
I get irrationally angry whenever I see her. What we really needed was for Garak to teach her a lesson in humility.
Garak knew that he might have to assassinate her someday. It would make his innocence much more plausible if it was clear they’d never had any interaction with one another. Besides…
“Would a simple tailor assassinate a Kai?! Oh come now constable, I’ve never even talked to her. Oh, I’d see her from time to time crossing the promenade, but if that were the only thing that would qualify me as an assassin, then you should lock me to protect the life of a quarter of Starfleet’s finest officers, not to mention entire Bajoran delegations, Klingon High Council members, and the Grand Nagas while you’re at it. Now really constable, I respect your authority on this station and wish you luck in your search for an assassin, but I have a customer that needs an urgent hem for a dinner party tonight.”
Pauses for a moment and looks Odo up and down
“If you’d like me to take look at your uniform, I could fix that hem too”
as Odo looks at his feet Garak disappears
Huh, I never thought about that. I don’t think Garak ever had a single interaction with her, kinda like Korbin and Zorg in The Fifth Element.
She’s been traumatizing generations upon generations, mentioning nurse Ratchet to boomers and order and they will react in a similar way to us being asked about Kai Winn.
Edit: she deserves as many awards as she can handle for her acting skills.
It’s easy to play a villain, it’s not easy to play a person so utterly detestable and vile that the simple thought of her causes a physical reaction.
I can never hear the words “my child” and not think of her.

Show of hands, who thinks this bitch was worse than Umbridge in Harry Potter?
I hated that crazy bitch so much, I had a block on her even existing.
Did anyone else laugh when she died? I laughed when she died.
