The war of two men known as Solane

You all knew that when I got to my blog posting of #47, it would be ALIAS related or did you know? well it's August 2010 it would have to deal with my show that I used to watch called ALIAS, Right? Well this certainly does but as you all know I a huge Star Trek junkie as well. (Yes I will have Star Trek postings

here very soon I do Promise you that). Yes for your question Trek's DS9 had a character known as Solan was he as malicious as Sydney Bristrow's boss Arvin Solane I was thinking I'd let you tell me by comparing their acts of Evilness: let's start with Arvin Solane first:
Arvin is the fellow who runs a top secret origination known as SD-6 which is believed to be a secret government branch of the Central Intelligence Agency formed to bring down international criminals from all over the world. When he finds out that one of his top agents, Sydeny Bristow tells her finance about what her line of work is Solane has him killed whilst Syd is on a mission for SD-6 in Ti pa. What Arvin never knew was that Sydeny was working both sides of the fence in working for SD-6 and the real Central Intelligence Agency from the series beginning. Until a break in at SD-6 by McKenas Cole who wants to slowly torture Solane while on a hunt for a mysterious device, come to find out it relates to miss Bristow in a very big way with SD-6's search of a fifteenth century "Nortodomius" known as Rambaldi. Whom we come to find out throughout the Alias series that Arvin himself is obsessed with wanting to know everything about this man. At one point he even set up the take down of his own origination known as "Phase One" which is one of the series top episodes. When Sydney finds out she has a sister named Nadia,

she is shocked that her sister's father is none other than Arvin Solane. Solane eventually kills Nadia to get back to finding more about Rambaldi only to die in a grave of Rambaldi's fighting Sydney's father Jack Bristrow forever throughout time. How is Star Trek's Deep Space nine's Luther Solan in any way like Arvin of "Alias" your asking?, he worked for Section 31, what is that your again scathing your heads right? Section 31 is much like the Romulan Tal Shiar which is also like the Cardassian Obsidian Order , both of these are uneasily trusting alien races within the Star Trek universe and both have secret linings in their own governments which are shady that even the governing courts of their worlds don't know of at all. Which brings about the question does Starfleet which is the heart of the space service known as United Federation of Planets have a secret lining in it's governing system which it to is unaware of? That it does a secretive covert operation unit of Starfleet Intelligence which is to be searching out and identifying extraordinary dangers to the federation. During the course of the war with the Dominion, Luther Solan went and tried to enlist the doctor Julian Bashir of station deep space nine to the group, of course when Bashir learned of the group intentness he declined the invite. When it was learned that Section 31 had a way to end the war with the founders who were the leaders of the Dominion and Odo's people as well with a virus that caused genocide, Bashir had developed a cure to the disease from Solan's mind. Unfortunately for Solan in his attempt to keep the secret away from Bashir he committed suicide to keep to war going on between both the Dominion and the Federation. So in closing I would say that both Luther and Arvin are yes very much pretty filled with vileness no matter how one looks at the two characters, but in the end both also very much got their own comeuppance for what they did. Wouldn't you agree?
