Talk:Damar

Featured nomination

 * Damar. Well written, detailed info. --BlueMars 13:13, Sep 17, 2004 (CEST)
 * Good detail. Support. Ryan123450 18:26, 17 Sep 2004 (CEST)

First name
On Wikipedia, Damar's first name is given as Corat Damar. Where did this come from? --Rebelstrike2005 15:10, 2 Apr 2005 (EST)
 * I don't know, but it definitely wasn't a TV episode. Alex Peckover 15:27, 2 Apr 2005 (EST)
 * A novel perhaps. -- Rebelstrike2005 15:32, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Possibly, a Google search for the name only turns up 9 hits, one of which is the Wikipedia entry, so we shouldn't use this name on MA. Alex Peckover 15:58, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * The only instance I know of it being used is in Andrew Robinson's Garak novel "A Stitch in Time".

Promotion
The page claims Damar was promoted to legate around the time of "Statistical Probailities" (it also claims that his and Weyoun's scheme in that episode was foiled, whereas I recall the Federation just left them have what they wanted...). But in that episode, he is explictly referred to as "Gul Damar". He's still being referred to as Gul Damar as late as "Inter Arna Einem Silent Leges", albeit in reference to past events, but that would be like a character suddenly referring to Commander Sisko discovering the wormhole. He doesn't become Legate Damar until "Penumbra". – Skteosk 17:19, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Children
Sidebar states he had more than one child yet the article discusses only his son. What is the citation for more than one child? &mdash; Morder (talk) 12:33, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * , Founder: "Redouble your efforts to locate his wife and children." But when Damar finds out about it and he is talking about his family he says "they weren't part of this rebellion... to kill her and my son.. [casual brutality, blah blah, whine]" Maybe the founder didn't know that he only had one, or maybe Damar didn't care about his daughters. --bp 21:29, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Then I question the note all deceased...thanks for that though I might have to watch it again. &mdash; Morder (talk) 21:51, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Death
The article states that Damar's last words was to keep fighting, but he died in mid-sentence. This is speculation. I recall seeing either an interview or other video clip of Casey Biggs stating that he did not know what the rest of the sentence was supposed to say.

From: http://www.startrek.com/boards-topic/33350648/seeing-ds9-for-the-first-time?page=53

In the original draft of the script, Damar went down with all guns blazing, but without any lines. Distraught at the thought of a death without words, Casey Biggs asked director Allan Kroeker for permission to improvise, hence his final word, "Keep...". When asked at conventions, Biggs admits he had no idea of how he would have finished the statement.

Also, assuming this is accurate, the original script, last words are not there. http://www.st-minutiae.com/academy/literature329/575.txt


 * We certainly shouldn't claim they were his last words if they weren't. 31dot (talk) 03:33, November 30, 2012 (UTC)
