DS9 s5e14 “In Purgatory’s Shadow”
You’ve come a long way
So you can say: It’s been a long road?
Oh YOU HAD TO dammit
Andrew Robinson was so good at emoting through the makeup that sometimes I forget he’s not actually a Cardassian.
He’s so good at portraying Garak that I seriously can’t tell which recurring guest star is my favorite. My current top three are him, Jeffrey Combs obvi, and John de Lancie.
Garak and Beshir were pretty much the bromance of the 24th century
Maybe I’m remembering it wrong but wasn’t Bashir a changeling at this point?
Except that wasn’t Bashir and rather than find it suspicious he let his guard down.
Can you really trust Garak’s reaction though? At any point in the show?
He could have just as easily put it together that this wasn’t the real Bashir, hell this could have been a test because he was already suspicious. This is where Garak begins to weave his trap, and he’s loving it.
And to not give away his hand, plays along.
He is very clearly surprised when the real Bashir is shoved into the cell block at the internment camp.
