Funny, but actually a bit on the nose, repeatedly in the show.
Phaser blast? In short order they have shields that block them. Time for some good old punching, which somehow the drones always seemed to be fairly vulnerable to. Also holodeck tommy gun made short work of them. Seems like starfleet should have just issued good old fashioned guns…
On a related note: the Jem’Hadar have a crippling addiction to drugs to the point that denying them those drugs kills them. The main delivery mechanism of said drugs is A HOSE STICKING OUT OF THEIR CHESTS and not once do we see someone rip the hose out. I mean, Worf carries a knife on him at all times and is highly skilled in its use and nope, Worf never slices the hose. FOH
Slicing the hose kills them later, not now. Y’all dont use a knife to kill someone next week. Y’all use it to put someone down on the ground immediately.
As a less quipy followup, Jem’hadar are established early as clones that mature to adulthood in a matter of weeks. Thats their real threat. Even if you had the inclination to kill them slowly, its almost irreverent. More will come, enmass.
This is fair. Though we don’t know what the immediate effect of interrupting the ketracel white will be. Maybe their addiction to it is so intense that severing the hose completely throws them and they either being to weaken significantly and quickly, or they just totally lose focus? I’m just saying that it might be a strategy to try once. But I get that the costume department doesn’t want to have to go through the trouble of replacing/repairing that hose between takes.
The borg’s greatest weakness was a pair of scissors
