Anagram 02/05/20 10:59:58 AM #183:	10. Elim Garak Im not mildly sort of unimplying the inference that you might not have failed to realize the not-unspy-like qualities dubiously possessed by a certain tailor. Garak is the poster child for just ignore whos in the credits when determining main characters, along with like half of Buffy the Vampire Slayers cast. This guy is more important than basically every character other than Sisko, Odo, and Kira, and hes in way more episodes than like Jake, and yet, always just a guest star. I wonder if Cardassia would be the same if the show was made today. Cardassia is basically just a fascist planet, right? Like, fascism was a non-factor in the 1990s, but the show still managed to talk about it. I was going to make a comparison to how DIS handles modern politics, but Im honestly just tired of complaining about it, so I wont. I like the idea of an exiled spy whos still loyal to his vision of Cardassia, even if it means working against the current regime and literally every other Cardassian in the galaxy. I like the idea of a guy who lets it be known that hes a former spy and then just plays with everyone, partly out of actual usefulness and partly just because why the hell not? I like the idea of cozying up to Bashir out of convenience and then genuinely getting to like the guy. I like the idea of Im willing to do whatever it takes, but Im not going to do more than that because Im not like a horrible monster, guys. I like the idea of him being a killer, but being completely affable. I like the idea of getting mildly offended by a James Bond holodeck program. I like how hes one of the two multi-episode characters Worf ever beats in a fight. Im not going to fact-check that, by the way. I can see Garak being really bad if played by a lesser actor, but Andrew Robinson really brings it. Not much else to say, the guy really brings a charismatic smarminess to the role. Id say hes one of the characters who most benefits from having an A+ actor. Im gonna say it: screw Star Trek Picard, give me Star Trek Garak, where its just about old man Garak dealing with extremely boring political issues on Cardassia as he tries to rebuild it as its new fascist dictator, but there are like democracy movements he cant squash because it would be bad for Federation relations. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
