You can always count on Garak ...or can you?

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

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.

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…

To be fair, The Intendant can get it.

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

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

What’s ignoble about this simple tailor?
ggppjj@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Why, just the other day he hemmed a formal gown for a client two inches too short!
marcos@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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!

I think what we have here is a misunderstanding. Whatever his sexuality, Garak is clearly just a plain, simple, tailor.
Kichae@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Whatever his sexuality
It’s plain and simple. He’s pretty forward about that.

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

Ya ive read that the actor played him gay but I didn’t learn that till after I’d watched it all so I guess knowing that he is straight makes it even harder for me to see it. Tbh I could have a guy hit on me and not know it and I do have some pretty “weird” ideas/beliefs and stuff that I don’t think a lot of mainstream straight guys have or would even agree with

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

Time for you to go watch season 1 again. 🙂
VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Guess I’m just super tone deaf cuz that didn’t look gay to me.

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.

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