I love when actors do this out of a genuine love for the potential of a character, star trek would be so much worse if it wasn’t for so many actors challenging the ethical and visionary failings of the script both through their acting and directly speaking up. It matters less that the script never ships bashir and garak (I thinkkk I haven’t finished though.. hahaha) because the acting makes it true no matter what the narrative says on paper or what dialog happens between them.

It is always about what is implied by what we are being shown isn’t it? Especially if you don’t quitteeee take the words the actors are literally saying at face value as the only dimension of truth.

Nothing is more fitting for garak in a way, though that is more sad than anything because the show would have been richer with an openly queer garak.

Frakes and Sirtis did this with their characters as well in TNG.

Aside from the initial introduction to their past relationship, the writers wanted to leave it in the past so that they could explore other stories. But the actors played it up every chance they could get.

That still didn't stop the writers from pushing Troi and Worf together toward the end for some bizarre reason. But if not for the actors' efforts to keep things alive throughout the run of TNG, Troi and Riker may not have ended up together in the end.

“Your pants are ready to be picked up, Doctor,” was their fuck code. I mean, seriously, nobody gets their pants altered that often.

Berman said to knock it off, but the whole cast and crew kept it going low-key for the rest of the series.
