House of Quark is a high point where he saves Quark’s life and allows a Klingon woman to inherit her own house.

Tacking Against The Wind is a low point where he is reduced to a cartoonish mustache-twirler.

Wasn't he always kind of a cartoonish mustache twirler? I mean, he basically invaded Cardassia after the manipulation of his meme-ishly large ego.

The truth is Gowron is a cartoon, and that's why we love him.

Yes. Day one, he was the "anybody but Duras" candidate. Worf easily took the guy in a fight on a few occasions. He later upended the Dominion War effort by throwing ships into bad plans that would be blamed on Martok.

Gowron is a petty politician who sucks.

He pulls back an entire fleet after Worf quotes ~~Kaylee’s~~ Kahless to him, which I felt demonstrated how Gowron deep down values honor.

After that though he decides to give Martok the Flavius Aetius treatment, despite how slimy it is.

Edit: kahless

What's up with the order? (Please tell me it's a hidden message or code!)

I think its the ratings of all the episodes. Probably from imdb. I thought it was season.episode at first too, and assumed it must be counting the first two seasons of ds9 as seasons 8 and 9 since tng only goes up to 7, but that doesn't make sense for a number of reasons.

I just looked up the Gowron episodes on memory alpha then looked up the ratings on imdb.

Sorry if I missed some, it’s a sloppy process on mobile.
