"I will betray you at every turn."

*saves the Federation again*

[-] Lydia_K@startrek.website 27 points 1 year ago

This is technically correct, he betrayed your expectation that he would betray you.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

But only when you expect the betrayal. It’s when you trust him not to, that you must be careful.

It's criminal that Berman would only allow the Garak/Bashir thing to be subtext. The first gay couple on Star Trek and also a cross-species couple would have been amazing. The best we got was evil mirror Kira fucking anything.

To be fair, The Intendant can get it.

Ok I am SO GLAD I was not imagining this! I’m only halfway through S2 of DS9, and but I have been sitting here questioning whether Bashir and Garak were gonna have a little something going on in the future, or if the girl in my class that talks loudly about her yaoi manga collection was finally getting to me…

Well, if you need something that a simple tailor can help you with... like high-stakes negotiation with foreign governments, data exfiltration, intelligence analysis, or other such trivial tasks that don't require contacts or secret knowledge, he's the man for you!

[-] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

I think what we have here is a misunderstanding. Whatever his sexuality, Garak is clearly just a plain, simple, tailor.

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Whatever his sexuality

It's plain and simple. He's pretty forward about that.

[-] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Garek is not a hero, and he's certainly not noble.

Yes - he’s just a plain, simple tailor.

[-] darth_helmet@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago

What’s ignoble about this simple tailor?

[-] ggppjj@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Why, just the other day he hemmed a formal gown for a client two inches too short!

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Am I like tone deaf or something because I never got like a gay vibe from him.

[-] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago

His interaction with the doctor was very romantic. Not sexual, just delightfully romantic.

I just thought they were buds just like O'Brien and the doc. Never got a gay vibe from it I just thought it was 2 guys being friends with eachother.

Can you give an example of how it was romantic?

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Guess I'm just super tone deaf cuz that didn't look gay to me.

[-] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ok go back and rewatch but pretend one of them is your preferred gender.

There is so much vaseline on the lense when Bashir doesn't know what to do with his hands it's like a 50's romantic movie.

[-] match@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago

It's basically Garak and Ashok for this trope

According to Andrew Robinson's book Garak is bisexual though. Also if you haven't listened to Andrew Robinson reading "A Stitch in Time" you're missing out.

[-] ALostInquirer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Where's a Garak? the new hit game of finding characters like Garak in other media!
