I don't see it neccessary to 'redeem' Kira Meru or make her more sympathetic than she was portrayed in her single appearance in the series. Not everyone has to be a shining example of human virtue. Even Major Kira had deeply mixed feelings with regard to her mother and her chosen way of coping with her situation during the occupation. Personally, despite Meru's justifications, I found it hard to sympathize with her to begin with. It would've been too easy for the writers to make her more heroic; the "whore with a heart of gold", so to speak. Occupations don't automatically make all those being oppressed into saints. Some folks are just lousy people. “Kira Meru (Kira Nerys’ mother), however, stands out as an exception….amazingly I walked away with a total lack of sympathy for her….attempts to make her a more sympathetic presence in the story flew right past me without impact.”

I somehow think he has very strategically decided not to do one though. I think Spader needs to make an appearance on one of these Shatner-visions romps.

CmdrR, "palaver" . . . great word, only a writer would use that. I like the over all point the Shat is making, but I find myself beginning to suffer "Shat-fatigue". Recloaking. Defracking . . .

I also wish he had gotten into at least one specific instead of opining on the wonder of being alive in the abstract. Oh well, I still love Shat.
