#anyways if I do decide to try a purge I will be more lenient…

5x26, 6x01, and 6x02 didn’t have to go so hard but they did
man this show is gonna give me an ulcer, i’ve never been so stressed out watching star trek in my life
- the circlejerk dick-measuring contest of kira, dukat, damar, and weyoun
- the garak/ziyal trainwreck andy honey im so sorry they did that to you
- the only way i can rationalize those writing choices in having garak put up with such an uncomfortable situation is that he feels so bad for ziyal that he decided at some point he’d allow what he thought would be a harmless crush just to give her some fleeting sense of joy except now he’s realized that he’s been far too lenient and it’s backfiring because she’s loyal to him now and that’s a mistake, and frankly that speaks volumes to his character but you’re on thin fucking ice, writers
-anyway i think garak actually made a clever speech that I liked during that scene but my mind short-circuited and went to BSOD when ziyal kissed him and i lost like ten minutes worth of memories trying to purge it from my brain
- jake sisko not knowing when to keep his dumb mouth shut in front of the fascists
- garak delivering his ice cold takes on war ethics that obliterate team morale
-miles actually complaining about ripping his pants when dax is hemorrhaging
- garak with his little starfleet badge was actually the highlight of my week
-keevan is actually a little monster man, a little troll of a person
- oh no! you’ve become complicit in fascism kira no more accepting raktajinos from the enemy
- garak throwing needless jabs at julian about his enhancements because he’s feeling betrayed that he let julian in on his biggest secret and yet he had to find out about julian’s genetics through station gossip, understandable but also unnecessary, writers what are you trying to do here
- on that note, hats off to sid and andy for taking the one scene they got together in these three episodes and made it as homoerotic as possible, like i think i understand now that split second frame where andy looks into the camera after the ‘boyish smile’ line, that’s him telling the producers ‘these are the scraps you gave me and you see that? i worked with it’
anyway this is the most intense star trek has ever been and it’s thrilling but frankly i need a breather please take me back to the days of delavian chocolates and dukat jumping around with a spike up his butt
#ds9#deep space 9#star trek#garashir#part of me wants to liveblog my watch through these cause i have so many takes#whoops it's 5am again#as soon as i realized that ziyal was kissing garak i actually averted my eyes that's how hard my entire body cringed#my head retracted back into my body#imagine being ziyal and having the balls to continually make invasive advances towards your dad-aged mentor#who's made it clear multiple times he's not interested#i want to like ziyal i really do but i hate the fact that the writers have done nothing to develop her character outside these interactions#the premise for her character is sound and there's so much potential there#instead she's in like four episodes and every single scene is awkward as fuck for andy
