Kanar

magistrate-of-mediocrity

I don’t know why, but I’ve always imagined kanar tastes like Jägermeister but not as sweet. Or maybe like gin with more anise. I don’t know, but “licorice” is definitely the flavor I associate with kanar.

For some reason, I imagine “licorice” but also a weird buttermilk taste and a thickness like watery kiefer. 

Basically kanar is awesome to Cardassians but absolutely dreadful to pretty much everyone else. (See also, the aliens from Alien Nation that get drunk on sour milk)

Watch the showwww, its betterrrr.

Like, if you like world building? This. If you like conlang? This. If you like aliens with different genders & attitudes to sexuality? This. If you like differing biologies, such that the Tenctonese and Humans are often mildly repugnant to each other, and yet they still end up just kind of going, oh yeah, that’s Eileen Over, she’s a Tenct, don’t eat her donuts, they have gopher innards in them, like–

Everyone is just People, first and foremost. And the show flows from that. Racist people. Sexist people. Ageist people. Frightened people. Angry people. Loving people. Kind people. Curious people. Just People.

It’s So Good.

… maybe I need to learn how to make gifs, just for Alien Nation.

The reason the writers introduced Damar’s fondness for kanar in this episode is because they wanted to hint to the audience that something is wrong with him under the surface. As Hans Beimler explains, “He’s become a real bad guy, but he’s drinking, and you want to know why. He’s not drinking because he’s an alcoholic, he’s drinking because he has a conscience. There’s something he doesn’t want to deal with. He knows Dukat’s deal with the Dominion is wrong, wrong, wrong. And so he’s drinking.” (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
