It was so satisfying to watch Stahma grow from the seemingly harmless and complacement good wife to embracing her full potential as a person. As she put it, “Once again the strong Castithan male falters, and I am left to open the airlock door myself!” Stahma was cunning and strong, someone who always found a way to decide her fate, even before she decided to try to become an equal partner in Datak’s criminal empire. One of my favorite quotes from the entire show was what she told Christie in “Doll Parts”: “We all do terrible things to get what we want. It’s unavoidable, I think. The most we can hope for is that what we want is worth the evil we do.” That’s Stahma in a nutshell, and it was a glorious thing to witness. She was a complex villain and proof that it’s ALWAYS the quiet ones that are more deadly.
