Looks like a Klingon and changling joined in on the disliking.

Well done!

Computer delete that entire entry.

Add my vote to the list of thumbs-down. If this had not included Secret Hideout's blasphemy, I would have been more interested.

EVA_Unit_4A Ah well. Can’t please everybody.

I would watch that!

LMFAO I just finished watching DS9 again and I honestly was thinking Garek should have had his own spin-off show telling his story of when he was in the Obsidian Order.

He's just a simple taylor....

We need more of this wholesomness

Space Fraiser.

tbh i feel joy just hearing him talk in general

Every time. I teared up.

@@ElizabethHoward same

I just found this I’m loving seeing and hearing these 2 again It’s like no time has passed

@@mel-burnes Great voice.

wow same

definetly

@Fred Freddy You're so lucky you get to watch it for the first time. I finished it when it was being broadcast on TV. I was a teenager and am now 35. I still think about it all the time.

Absolutely!! ❤️🖖

so would I

Do it!

It isn’t Garek the actor died

@@lucasgiles7613 This is not true.

@@lucasgiles7613 no boo actors that played odo and nog died.

@@lucasgiles7613 Rene Auberjonois (Odo) and Aron Eisenberg (Nog) died the same year four months apart. Andrew Robinson, who played Garak, is very much alive today.

totally

It's not just the banter between these two gentlemen; it's the care they took in being consistent with the mythos they know we love so much. It's difficult to quantify how much I have enjoyed this.

It's funny Julian mentions having never considered being in love with a man when Andrew Robinson described Garak as being "omnisexual" and finding Julian attractive. When Garak spoke of being in love at that moment and Julian mentioned Ziyal I could almost imagine Garak feeling a pang of love for Julian. Sid and Andrew are fantastic actors with amazing chemistry together. Even now they can perfectly sell these characters and drop right back into the banter and friendship and slight mistrust Garak and Julian have for one another.

Indeed, I can truly see Garak's facial expressions as he speaks, and Bashir as if he was in full Starfleet uniform and sitting in a runabout. The mind's eye is indeed the perfect cinematographer for this perfectly delivered verbal exchange by the actors.

It is terrific. And I’ll bet Andrew Robinson was happy to not spend HOURS in make-up to play Garek.

Indeed!!! Except 20 years after the burning of Lakarian city

The beard from GoT is the one I always think of

So true!!! Their voices are all we need.

LMFAO I didn't make screeching noises but I "yelled loudly with joy" and both my cats "pop their heads up looking at me like what the hell's going on?" LMFAO

Hahahahaha! I just discovered this, & felt the same way.

BREAKING NEWS: over night countless lives were lost suddenly after viewing a seemingly enjoyable video for fans of the lovable Star Trek franchise. No cause of death has been reported, but they all had a huge grin on their face. Authorities suspect some sort of world wide mass suicide ritual.

I agree 100000%

Mood

Even knowing Andrw Robinson was in this, hearing him talk as Garak to Bashir gave me such a joy my mouth hurts from smiling. This brings me pure joy in these harrowing times.

@@RoyRogerer I know. From that first line I can picture him head tilt, eyes full of desperation, and fondness, and that half smile as he verbally housts with Bashir.

Porque no los dos?

Valaquesse As with lights, there are four episodes.

Dukat is totally a bossy bottom. 😜🖖🏼

@@mr51406 lol Dukat the Bratty sub. I think Kira would approve lol

Or do both. He could say something like "Garak is lying... there was no tryst; however, if there were one I would have been in charge of him (or some other words to that effect)."

Totally agree!

And stuffing them with all kinds of things, too!

#Truth

Agreed. Best writing too (and considering Nana Visitor liked a tweet of mine that said as much, I consider that viewpoint validated).

I don't know, I liked Voyager too but for different reasons. I found DS9 to be centered around the characters more than the story and I guess that's what I like about it. I remember more characters and events from DS9 than any other series though, including TNG.

I’m rewatching DS9 on Netflix right now for a second time. 👍🏻

@@stayfrostypatrick me too. Sadly I'm almost done. Sometimes it made me so sad seeing those actors who have passed away already..😔

Amanda Jarman 🥰

My sincere condolences. I was in the hospital with my father-in-law and he was on his deathbed, unconscious. DS9 was playing and it was like an old friend was in the room with me. I’m now re-watching the series after over 20 years. Peace my fellow Trekker friend.

That's a lovely statement; many fans understand where you are coming from. So sorry to hear of your mum's passing. I hope the actors/writers know how much this show meant / means to us.

🥰

❤️

I was wondering if anyone else noticed this

I had a major idiot moment and actually screamed out NO before I realized

Subtle? What do you mean? Sorry, I have aspergers and ADHD, verified diagnosis on both, so I really do not understand subtlety. Are you referring to Elim Garak being attracted to Julian Bashir? I watched "What we left behind", and I saw that segment. Was that the case? I thought after looking back at those episodes a decade ago and at age 30 something I was thinking that either Garak was being creepy to screw with the mind of a vulnerable person, or that he was from a culture with different cultural norms and values. Could someone please clear this up for me?

@@northwestsmith215 Yes for us that's how we interpreted this line! I can't speak for the other people the thread but many people who ship Garashir really don't approve of Ziyal × Garak bc we think he's too young for you. We also find that his scenes with her on the show seem to be lacking in attraction on his side, he seems to like her company without being in love with her as she is with him. To us when he goes "Ziyal...yes" he's letting Julian assume an untrue fact because he prefers that to admitting at one time he loved Julian. Same when he sort of hurries along Julian when he talks about being with Ken, I read it as Garak didn't want to hear about this other man he was still pining for. Does that clear things up?

@@northwestsmith215 Slash is something personal, and if you find Garak predatory that's valid, although a lot of us disagree with you. However Andrew Robinson and Siddig el-Fadil have both gone on the record and said they enjoyed playing the relationship with sexual overtones so there's a lot of subtle moments in the canon that Garashir shippers tend to fixate on. You don't need to worry about them if you're not interested

Range? Sadly, he was type-cast for evil psychopaths. And does it well. I'm not sure if that was their goal with Garak, but if it was, they failed. Garak was his best role.

@@Flat_Earth_Addy Yes, range. Research his different roles over his career and you'll see he wasn't always typecast as psychopaths. And, of course, Garak wasn't evil. Misguided? Yes. Confused? Absolutely. He was a product of the system he served. But remember that in the end this character rose above his situation and participated in liberating Cardassia from the Dominion.

​@@travisrobert9530 I wouldn't call Garak misguided so much as he is an ultranationalist. His worldview is that he is right and everyone else is wrong, and the Obsidian Order would have amplified that in his training. Don't forget that Inabran Tain is also his father. He may as well have been raised by Steve Bannon. Sadly, Garak's methods have worked (even when immoral) time and time again. Read Andy's A Stitch in Time and you'll learn how he was trained and a bit about why he thinks the way that he does.

@@mcampbellteach I hear what you're saying, but I stand by what I said. He was misguided. These days there are many misguided ultra nationalists. One only has to watch the news. I do, however, agree with what you said about his training and his methods being effective, if not immoral. Your observation on his parentage was spot on. Good insight on your part. Thank you for your response.

That was so amazing. "Kanar-induced tryst" LOL.

I was the same way lol

It was such a joy to see and hear these actors in their full characters--and I know this is a fan fic but then that scene bled through and reminded me just how much it is.

GARAK NO

Lol, I had to go back like 3 times to figure out when he said that. I was like "HOLD UP!"

Garak squinting carefully at you through his reading glasses would somehow seem even more threatening than usual.

P Ha!! That’s brilliant!

the garak oh yes

"Jesus wept" Wait, wrong project.

Andrew Robinson was as born to play Garak as Peter Jurasik was playing Londo.

My thoughts exactly!

If we had any...

Elena Simon That's what I said! 😆

dont give cbs ideas.. lol - this isnt cannon but its definitely trek

@@drewbadwolf5182 Haha true, but it's canon to me! "Head canon," as they say

He's gotten better looking with age if you ask me. But I have a thing for older men, LOL.

Delicious shipping fuel.

I know! Close your eyes and it's like no time has passed!.

It does work great as an audiobook

Their characters are so well written. And it is like this just another day on the set in 1999. Wow

Same sound quality too.

Don [N5SKT] Thanks man!

Indeed. The script was really well written.

RetroNerdLife Thank you so much!

I still like the moment when Odo is talking to Garak about blowing up his shop. Very entertaining. All of the dialogue between Garak and Bashir has been brilliant. Garak mentions that the virus has been engineered!!! I hope section 31 didn’t have anything to do with this.

It's incredible, shows just how much of the character is the actor. Just that cadence of his voice. Siddig on the other hand has it a little harder, as Bashir was more physical in a way.

they will have to deepfake brooks, he's done with the "star trek" as he calls it now.

@Bat Bat yeah, he's not interested at all in doing sisko ever aga.

@@WhitfieldProductionsTV Where?? I can't find it

@@loki6734 Multiple interviews, he basically doesn't think there is anything to add to the character and he's moved on. Plus he was furious how Shatner edited that documentary to make him look like a crazier person than he is. He's also stated multiple times that Sisko doesn't define who he is as an actor.

@@TheBaalPhaoton Shatner did a hatchet job on him alright.

Picard started from a place of depression and disillusionment, and while that in no way prevented it from being good, it also didn't leave a lot of room for fun. This was fun.

I did not enjoy picard. Sadly. But this I love.

I enjoyed Picard, but I wouldn't have if it weren't Picard (I can't enjoy Discovery). The storytelling these days is simply too focused, to single-track, for me to get a handle on the characters the way I did with the less cinematic, more "TV-like" shows of the past. Picard has the same problem, but Patrick Stewart did a fantastic job reprising the role, and because I already know the character from TNG, I am able to enjoy Picard despite its shortcomings in pacing.

I enjoy all series, but I suppose I like Picard and Discovery bc of it’s amazing story! I’m not really bothered by dark fiction. But there isn’t a Star Trek series I don’t like

I'm squeeing internally.

Me too!

Zack Power Thank you!

There's no other reasonable explanation tbh

From the fiery realms of the Pah-Wraiths!

Right there with you: love the series, (still) hate the ending. Well actually the entire second part of S7 starting with Penumbra.

I like the ending as a nice way to bookend the show. We started with Sisko meeting the Prophets, and we finished with him joining them with a monologue about him returning to the station at some time. "It mmay be tomorrow. It may be yesterday." Less an ending as a to be continued.

Tra-Vis Kaiser Thank you!

It was important to me to respect what the creators created.

He could even play Santa all dressed up as Elim and it would work, he seems such a genuinely solidly good person.
