Started watching "Our Man Bashir" and

Why is Garak standing that close. My guy

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

Oh- Oh my god. This is pre learning Garak has extreme claustrophobia. So him calling his quarters on the ship "rather claustrophobic" and thats why he was roaming the decks- jfc it might not have been a lie. Or at least one grounded in truth. jfc why do i keep getting smacked over the head with Garak realizations

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

aw hell, i forgot that the device in his brain was originally an anti torture pleasure device that he turned on constantly because he couldnt continue to live on the station in misery, and then it malfunctioned from being on constantly and THATS whats killing him

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

its honestly so tragic to see Julian, the same bright eyed doctor who believed in the ideals of the federation from 7 seasons prior, be so jaded and beaten down to get in the head of a section 31 member and commit horrifying CRIMES in the pursuit of protecting those he loves in "Extreme Measures"

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

Deep Space Nine comits SO many war crimes

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

The face of a man questioning how human spies are effective (alternatively, the face of a man once again questioning the naivete of his doctor friend)

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

"You claimed Rom fixed your replicators."

"So?"

"Rom's an idiot. He couldn't fix a straw if it was bent."

Rude and untrue! (eventually)

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

Knowing that HE is Elim makes this hit harder

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

About to watch The Wire, this should be fun

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

Julian in season 7 is honestly so unrecognizable from Julian in season 1

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

It truly is incredible how we just watch Jake grow up. He's just a kid in season 1 and he's a young man in season 7. He grows so much over the seasons and it's lovely

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

Deep space nine breaks SO many laws

[botanicallyinclinednerd]

"I suppose another day won't kill me." That's what YOU think!
