    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.
