You can always count on Garak ...or can you? (startrek.website)

"I will betray you at every turn."

*saves the Federation again*

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

It's basically Garak and Ashok for this trope

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.

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.

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

[–] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

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?

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

What’s ignoble about this simple tailor?

[–] ggppjj@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago

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

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 years ago

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