    I like it but it’s missing Avery Brooks saying “Because I can live with it. I can live with it” right before erasing the log. Absolutely amazing delivery, and a shame to leave it out.

      One of the things I enjoyed about DS9 was that it wasn’t afraid to show that you cannot always play by the rules during a war against a people who want to literally wipe you and trillions of others out. You cannot be reasonable or honorable when it comes to fascist, because they certainly aren’t.

      The way his conviction wavers as he says it also shows that he’s trying to convince himself and justify his actions to himself more than anything else. It’s not that he can live with it, it’s that he has to live with it.
