Mind you, the chief producer, Ira Behr, probably had more saying in the direction
Are you trying to say that Ron Moore was only following orders? And that with someone else writing it might have been even worse?
...sorry. couldn't resist.
But it 'Walz' is all we have to blame him for, I think RM is still officially a Good Guy and Not Evil. And you're right, 'Waltz' in itself is a perfectly fine episode, if only it weren't taken as the bottom line on the character.
I hadn't realized that RM had also written the 'Sisko going wacky over Eddington' line. Hm. So maybe he didn't intend us to take Sisko at face value in 'Waltz.' Hm. RM is the king of moral ambiguity, which makes it even more wrong that he wrote the episode that seems to end Dukat's.
I really like Eddington as well. I'd read fanfic about him, although I'm unlikely to write it.
