Spock here, Captain

[4.30am] definitely the best thing to do right now is give up on sleep and go and watch “Doctor Bashir, I Presume” so I can spend the rest of day vaguely disgruntled at the absence of Garak.

But I suppose S31 would make sure that Garak wasn’t in this because they’ve watched “The Search Part 2” and “Distant Voices” and realise that even a simulated Garak would fuck with their reality.

years after the war martok ends up writing the song about their escape. it’s fantastic. garak has never been more angry in his life

when bashir asked dax out in the first episode and sisko was like "i wonder if he'd be interested if you were still some old man" What no one realised is the answer was probably yes

there is not a unit of time currently in existence small enough that it could accurately measure just how fast archer would kill tuvix

Garak murdered Neelix before the dilemma arose.

ziyal survives the war -> is unofficially adopted by both garak and kira separately (Very Separately.) -> asks to spend time on cardassia during the reconstruction -> kira comes along because it’s a disaster out there and she’s not letting ziyal go by herself -> comedy of errors where kira keeps getting mistaken for garak’s quite young wife (but what a lovely daughter you have together! she looks so much like you! divorced, you say? what a shame…) -> kira’s head explodes. the end

tbh bringing ziyal/jake into this makes it even funnier. imagine a family dinner and it's a bajoran ex-resistance fighter, a cardassian ex-obsidian order agent, a human ex-maquis smuggler and the Emissary. and they're having a beer and talking about baseball. because their kids got together.

The anarchist lesbian collective of East Torr salutes you and your style.

Thank you omg, I just know in my heart that the underground Cardassian industrial/goth clubs are a sight to behold and I KNOW you know this too 😭

I think part of the reason Garak is so relatable to so many of us is that hes one of the few star trek characters who work directly with The Public™

Nooo never kill yourself baby. Star Trek enters the public domain in 2062.

One year before the Vulcans arrive?

Well yeah, otherwise they'd be under copyright

#this is the star trek i wanna see#like when somebody asked gene roddenberry why piccard was bald#because wouldn’t they have found a cure for male pattern baldness by then?#and he was like ‘no by the 24th century no one will care’#i wanna see that attitude with disability and neurodiversity#it’s not that we’ll have a magic cure for everything#there’ll always be something new#but disabilities and neurodiversity will be celebrated and seen as part of the norm#it will be accomodated#so blind people can serve in star fleet#and so can people in wheelchairs and autistic people and people with prosthetics and people with chronic illnesses (via @hunterinabrowncoat)

This episode ends with Geordi saving the planet by using something derived from the technology found in his visor (an adaptive device that lets him sense things around him). So a disabled man literally saved the lives of an entire culture that wouldn’t have considered his life worth living, using technology they would have never deemed necessary without the presence of his unique needs.

I don’t watch Star Trek, but I can’t stress enough how important this message is
