Inspired by a post on the dash: Every Cardassian state television production about romance is exactly like those Turkish melodramas inexplicably set in 19th-century imperial Russia. The propaganda series about the love story of Garak and Bashir would be filmed like Kurt Seyit ve Şura
#Garak always complains about the costumes#I am not being Orientalist by picking a random example I am speaking specifically about#The cinematography costuming casting and overall aesthetic choices#Of Turkish historical telenovelas set in an imagined ~Eurasia#That conjures both Ottoman nostalgia and pre-revolutionary ancien regime nostalgia#That's Cardassian Aesthetics#If Constantinople were Versailles
