You can tell how much secret enjoyment Garak's having just ruining and making fun of his spy fantasy, especially when he goes "if I were in your shoes I'd grab a bottle of champagne and shoot me."
Except to a Cardassian (in particular Garak), it is an insult! As a society they keep secrets as a matter of course. Being talkative (unable to keep a secret) must be seen as a deep character flaw.
@@slavetwe It depends on what you talk about. Cardassians LOVE to talk, but they can hide their motivations and secrets even while talking openly about them.
God, I love Garak in this seeing this fantasy spy life. "I think I joined the wrong intelligence organization." "Kiss the girl, get the key, they never taught that one in the Obsidian Order."
The costume department must have had a real challenge trying to design a buttoned tux shirt for the Cardassian neck without it looking too hokey. Also, has Bashir never heard of "Computer: Freeze program"?
Garak: babe come on go outside spend time w ur friends its not healthy to spend so much time in a holosuite Garak: also what are you doing in here that's more important than our lunch date Bashir: pls leave Garak: :) Bashir: ok fine
''She seemed so interested in your advances just a moment ago. I wonder what scared her away?'' She just knows when to quit. She could see how much more chemistry Bashir has with Garak than with her.
So Garak interrupts Bashir's program and drives away his female company so the two of them can can spend all their time together on the holosuite Huh, maybe the shippers of these two were on to something.
When Rick Berman put his (sexist, homophobic) foot down and declared that the two characters were NOT gay for each other, the actors replied in confusion, "what do you mean, they're not? That's how we've been playing them for the past three seasons!"
@@Archone666 In fairness, it was the 90s. So that wasn't something you could just go ahead and do, and the show was getting bombarded with letters asking to make them a confirmed couple so...
@@kayleighbrown459 Coincidentally, they did allow for a lesbian fling of sorts between Dax and a trill woman in another episode. It always seems a little hypocritical to me how they let that one slide but 180'd so much on these two.
There were some famous last words in the civil war. I don't remember if it was a Yankee or Confederate general but he was talking about cannon fire and said, "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist-"
That doesn't necessarily mean they hadn't thought of it during the writing of this episode. I doubt that Bashir ever mentions it in his personal log, and there's no way he doesn't fake his medical exam results somehow (Or he'd have been busted the first time he needed any medical attention himself)
@@TheDjbz The genetic enhancement wasn't planned by the writers so it doesn't have a bearing on earlier episodes. However to get the enhancement done the Bashir's had to go out of Federation territory and it's known that the Cardassians use genetic engineering, so it isn't beyond the realm of possibilities that a human family getting such a procedure would be noted by the Obsidian Order. Information that would come up in a cross check decades later, so when Garak chose to sit at Bashir's table he knew that Bashir would be useful, and when Tain told the military not to interfere with Bashir when he visited him he wanted to protect a potential asset. You can read a lot into stuff Garak said over the years that points in that direction. Then after it becomes public knowledge Garak implies he knew all along. Although even if he hadn't known he'd still imply that he did. so you can't read too much into that.
..."If you've nothing to hide... then why not let me stay?" That moment, right there. Julian: *He.. he can't know, can he...?* Garak: *I totally know.*
I think it's funny that Section 31 tried all that stuff with Bashir when Bashir has been hanging out with a spy for seven years. Like, maybe take that into account when trying to manipulate your target...
I just realized that Julian being genetically enhanced totally explains why he was able to make a near impossible shot with the wine cork. When I first saw that, I was like "BOLLOCKS!" But now it makes sense!
Also it echoes 'Second Skin' where Garak vaporises Entek after watching a reflection and seeing him reach for a second phaser in his boot. It ties back into this episode as Garak tries to explain the difference between reality and the fantasy. But basically one is just an OTT version of the other.
@@nelsonchereta816 That's also why it knocked the henchman out. Realistically, a champagne cork wouldn't have enough force to knock somebody out. Too slow, too light. But on the holodeck, rule of cool applies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Though seeing as the henchman was already... Visually impaired... Hitting his other eye with the cork would have incapacitated him as well, at least for a moment. Maybe that's how he wound up with the eye patch in a previous encounter with a suave super spy: "IF YOU DO THAT ONE MORE TIME I'M NEVER GONNA LOOK AT YOU AGAIN!!!"
The wine cork shot was so ridiculous that Garak went full savage at the end of the clip "If I were in your shoes I would grab a bottle of champagne and shoot me" I always laugh like an idiot at that part
The title refers to "Our Man Flint", an American James Bond comic character, played by James Coburn. Austin Powers appropriated the ringtone to the headquarters of Flint's employer, "ZOWIE" (Zonal Organization for World IntelligencE), for his own.
Ok. It was not a 'bad' book, by any means, but for some reason I didn't care for it. It got great reviews from the ST community, maybe I should give it another try sometime.
SpazzyMcGee1337 Yeah, I don't remember this episode but I know you just don't speak those words while on a holodeck ...or being on a TV series in general ...but especially on holodecks.
I loved how they did it, the first Act was almost like the Bond of the books meeting the one of the more over-the-top Movies. Then what it brought out in Dr. Bashir over the course of the episode, which was genius and very well done by the cast and the writers. There had been "espionage" plots in Star Trek before, but these guys would have both fit in with a Jack Higgins plot.
"I only want to point out that your lovely companion is leaving. Odd. She seemed so interested in you options just a moment ago. I wonder what scared her away?" (Bashir glares at him.)
"What could Possibly Go Wrong?" "What's the Worst that Could Happen?" And "Looks like Smooth Sailing" (said by Jadzia Dax in 'Children of Time'-and by Gilligan once or twice) Are Jinx phrases that should never be spoken on TV
“It’s so unusual for you to have secrets.” “Oh, well I must have picked up that habit from you.” Garak might be a master troll, but let’s be honest, Julian knows how to fire back just as well. 🤣
Bashir and Garak have a very unusual friendship. My favorite line in this was when Garak says perhaps he joined the wrong intelligence. He also commended Bashir when he was in that telepathic trance for manifesting him as the alien that assaulted him while the rest of the crew was manifested as different personality traits.
Actually, Garak made a completely wrong assessment of that incident. Garak interpreted the villain taking the form of himself to be a sign of Bashir not trusting him and complemented that. However, the villain took the disguise of Garak because Bashir DID trust him and it allowed playing mind games with Bashir.
@@HariSeldon913 Not only that, but Garak is also the person with whom Bashir talks about deep themes the most and who also challenges his world view more often. Of course the telepath took his likeness...
Garak isn't jealous, he's curious, mmmkay? And does anyone else wonder if Julian loves spy fiction so much as a way of dealing with the pressure of actually living with a big secret? That revelation was set up in so many little ways, I can't help wondering if someone on the staff didn't have it in mind all along.
Haha! I'm rewatching the entire DS9 series at the moment. I watched it a lot during the 90's as a kid but now I'm an adult I've found a new love and appreciation for Star Trek. Garak, Dukat and Quark are three of my fav characters (although I do love them all). Such great actors/acting on Star Trek, it's really quite impressive the quality of the acting. Heh this was such a fun silly episode I absolutely loved it (and it was worth watching just to see Garak in a tuxedo lol!) :-D
Bashir always fantasized about being a secret agent. Over the course of the show, he becomes friends with a real secret agent (garek) and gets recruited by section 31. He learns that actual cloak and dagger life is terrible.
Andrew Robinson once said that he intended Garak to be.. well, "bisexual" isn't the right word, but "universally interested" maybe? Poor Bashir, almost completely oblivious.
hagamapama I doubt it's the exact word the actor used, but I think 'pansexual' might be what he was going for. I heard from someone that often it's easier to get a shot with two people when there isn't much space between them - which is why you see everybody talking into each other's faces all the time on shows like Star Trek. That being said, he sure is right in Bashir's face, ain't he? XD
hagamapama after the first episode or couple of first scenes the crew told andrew to tone the homosexual undertones down. would have been interesting the the relationship between the 2 was great nonetheless.
Eeehhhhhhhh, Bashir never reciprocated, but it was clear a couple times that Garak wouldn't have minded. So yeah, no real homosexual "smoke" much less "fire" but early in their friendship, Garak was scanning for signals on his gaydar. Not seeing any, he backed off and seemed satisfied with the friend zone.
Bashir: flirting with a woman Garak: Scares her away Garak: "I apologize, you must be incensed. in fact, if I were in your shoes, I'd grab "A bottle of champagne" and shoot me " you: nah, garak wasn't gay
It's been a while since I've seen this, but I am fairly certain that Garak, had already checked out the holosuite program and knew all along, what it exactly was about.
I always found it interesting how Bashir so strongly emphasises how outrageous and illegal entering a holosuite is when someone else is using it... kind if implies there is a very strong chance they regularly get used for some...ahem.. very quality private time. Had Garak walked in a few minutes later he surely would have really interrupted Bashir!
That was made fairly clear, that holosuites were used for porn, when talking to Quark in the pilot episode to make him stay on the station as it moves to being under new management.
If holosuites were real you'd get a world like "Ready Player One" where everyone in the world's only goal would be to get one to excape hiw shitty their lives were.
It's a shame that the producers were uncomfortable with Andrew Robinson portraying Garak as a pansexual, so it's great when Robinson and the writers get to occasionally sneak that part of Garak back into the show without the producers apparently realizing.
Interesting. I was about to say bisexual, a by comparison quite conservative concept, would be more appropriate. But since it would be both cross-gender and interspecies, perhaps a more all-embracing concept [heh] like pansexuality might actually fit here. I wonder if all the straight men fancying hypothetical alien women would thereby also qualify for a pansexual card.

The Obsidian Order gives all its field agents vital training in cock-blocking, and it has paid off well.

No double penetration in the future.
