"What about Klingon nonsense?"

"Believe it or not, that falls under Ferengi nonsense."

    Am I just romance blind, or did anyone else not notice anything romantic between those two? People online always talk about how there is so much romantic subtext/chemistry between the two that the producers had to put a stop to, but I just don't see it.

    Rewatch the opening scene from season 1's "Past Prologue" where Garak first sits with Bashir. There's flirty subtext throughout.

    There is some video that recuts that exchange a bit and adds some provocative music at specific moments, and I think that effectively changes the vibe to fit the romantic narrative. But the actual original scene just comes off to me as a kid scared of a potential bad guy.

    He always seemed more nervous by the fact he (accurately) believes Garak is a spy, which fascinates him, but also was shocked that said spy was trying to get information from him which boosted his ego and played to his interests. Like a kid having their own hero approach them and not the other way around.

    It’s one of those fan interpretation things. You can view their interactions through a lot of modern shipping tropes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JdlXt2EWnkM

    When it first aired I think it was less about implied romance, and more just Garak occasionally having the energy of a queer-coded Disney villain.

    Bisexual Bashir is also an easier fan reading than most shows around that time. The last season literally had a scene where Bashir accused Miles of liking him more than his wife.

    This is Jeffrey Combs erasure and will not stand (partially covered by Ferengi nonsense but only slightly)

    Holodeck nonsense? That's at least one or two episodes per season.

    Probably needs to add "holosuite nonsense". move along home, vic fontaine, bashir's wacky spy adventures, etc.

    True. The fine print in Quarks holosuite terms of service make it clear that it can't be considered Ferengi nonsense.

    I haven't watched DS9 as much as the other series, but superficially this does sound familiar. Tbh the static DS9 setting never appealed to me that much - my favorite episodes are when they go on missions in the Defiant.

    While I'm on the subject, one thing that really disappointed me was in "Way of the Warrior" when the Klingons boarded the station to take it over. I totally assumed they would succeed, and was looking forward to seeing how the feds would take it back. But the Klingon raiding party got their asses kicked in like 8 seconds. I mean srsly - did the writers even watch Star Trek? A crack squad of the galaxy's master warriors couldn't take over a glorified office building? Truly disappointing.
