You can always count on Garak ...or can you?

"I will betray you at every turn."
*saves the Federation again*
This is technically correct, he betrayed your expectation that he would betray you.
But only when you expect the betrayal. It’s when you trust him not to, that you must be careful.
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.
To be fair, The Intendant can get it.

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…
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.
Whatever his sexuality
It's plain and simple. He's pretty forward about that.
Garek is not a hero, and he's certainly not noble.
Yes - he’s just a plain, simple tailor.
What’s ignoble about this simple tailor?
Why, just the other day he hemmed a formal gown for a client two inches too short!

(Sorry for the Twitter link, couldn't find another source)
Why are you apologizing for a Twitter link?
It's basically Garak and Ashok for this trope
Am I like tone deaf or something because I never got like a gay vibe from him.
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?
O'Brien is also gay for Bashir
Time for you to go watch season 1 again. 🙂
Guess I'm just super tone deaf cuz that didn't look gay to me.
Ok go back and rewatch but pretend one of them is your preferred gender.
There is so much vaseline on the lense when Bashir doesn't know what to do with his hands it's like a 50's romantic movie.
Yes
According to Andrew Robinson's book Garak is bisexual though. Also if you haven't listened to Andrew Robinson reading "A Stitch in Time" you're missing out.
Where's a Garak? the new hit game of finding characters like Garak in other media!
