Yeah, but Cardassians like it pretty warm.
They have a skewed idea of what Frozen Wasteland means.
They don't open patios on Cardassia Prime unless its 35 degrees outside.
Oh! So Cardassia is essentially the Alpha Quadrant's 'Florida.'

I meant climate-wise. Also the snake like motif reminds me of Iran/Persia/Afghanistan.
Though, IIRC, they had a former golden age where they were much more liberal and spiritual. They just went through a civil war that destroyed their economy and the military junta that now controls their society is the outcome of that period.
Too Junglish, they are dry heat creatures. Think of that episode where Dukat's daughter and Garak use the cardassian sauna holoprogram! Dry heat...
I wasnt thinking actual temperature more of Political Climate.
I'm often reminded of when the Simpsons went to Africa and their President ended up being their Flight Attendant and their Tour guide ended up being President.
During the Dominion War they swapped leaders a lot.

Well I finished it, and yes the last two episodes were a slog.
I was playing SWTOR while I was watching it, and not to be brutal about it, but I was doing farming missions, planting crops, and taking care of the animals and I found it strangely more satisfying then the end of this series.
The writing was just really atrocious, but they had the moment of typical unintended humor. When they were having a bridge meeting talking about the whatsumacallit, clue in a barrel, and they're all marvelling at it, and the Breen ship zooms in and tractor beams it out, and you can literally see Raynor doing a internal palm slap and wondering if he should go back to his old angry Captain persona.
Then they take Moll who could have been an intriguing villain, and flip her on a dime.
I can't help but think that the writing wrecked what could have been a very good cast. I've said it before Martin-Green is a good actress, and this season she finally got comfortable in playing Burnham. Doug Jones performance was ruined by the writing, Callum Keith Rennie is good in everything he is, remember he was a standout in Battlestar Galactica. But the whole storyline this year was utter nonsense, and all that I know is that Tilly became and its incredible to believe even more annoying.
The wrap up stuff, just dragged on and on and on. And then what should have been the emotional climax so to speak of the series, when Michael is taking Discovery out one last time and Michael has her memory moment where she see's all of her crewmates, I spent most of the time realizing I couldn't even remember most of their names. And after a season away they bring back Detmer, why? They could have linked this thing back to the first time that Burnham took command and they had the burr on the Command Chair, it would have been nice for her to acknowldge that.
And the series ends appropriately with Burnham by herself on the bridge running the whole ship without crew mates.
Its too bad, I love Star Trek a lot, I grew up watching the original series, I'm still convinced that DS9 was the best and most human version of Star Trek. But you look at how its gone. TNG - Great, DS9 - Magnificent, Voyager - meh, Enterprise. - had its moments, then Discovery comes along, and its like a guy in a rubber Godzilla suit stomping on carboard buildings bad.
I think they're making a Star Fleet Academy series next, which could either be good, of be Star Trek 90210.
But I did feel some pleasure when I hit the delete button and my PVR asked if I was sure, and I was like "Less talky, more deleting".
