Oh, it's THIS one! Even through the years when DS9 wasn't around to watch, I remembered this scene especially... Now, of course, you can watch just about anything!
I never watched the series when it was on tv but after seeing all of it on Netflix I've come to appreciate the great characters and actors in it. These two were amongst the best.
My personal fav scene is when Sisko, Ducat and the fine Weyoun are sitting at table in Quarks. Sisko hands over a bottle of kanar that has been allegedly poisoned by Dukat. Anyways Sisko + Dukat have a little bitch fight when all of a sudden Weyoun drinks the dam thing to end it. The face on Dukat and Sisko gives me lols XD
Why protect an oppresive regime that has been a rival for decades from an ally? Am I the only Trekkie who thinks Capitan Benjamin Sisko IS A FUCKING RETARD?
@faetrn Sorry, i might have overeacted. I just don't understand why you would side with the CARDASSIANS against the Klingons. That's like siding with Persians against Vikings.
@theknightswhosayfrak Cardassians are slightly more kick-ass than Klingons. They're more intelligent, and they have this whole sadistic "you will do what I say" type of thing. They know how to make shit happen. But, the Klingons also have their strong points....i.e., no one can out drink one. ^_~
Oh, it's a great scene, but I doubt it could be called the best. None come to mind at the moment because I haven't seen it in a long time. The best would probably have to involve Odo and/or O'brian.
Okay, JS, but, If they had an A&W on DS9, i'd make a killnig. And plus my mom works there so i could tottaly live on DS9 and be with Julian, Garak and Weyoun! *SQUEALS* :D XD =/\=
I wish these two interacted more often this is awseome! I can see why the poster would say this is the best scene from ds9. Mine is Sisko's monologue from "in the pale moon light" garak was also a major character in that episode. Oh and worf challenging guiron is up there as well.
That´s why i love DS9, it´s exactly because of such scenes. Such a dialogue would have been impossible in TOS or TNG, there the Federation was mostly presented as "good" and "flawless". Here you get another point of view from people who are outside the Federation but are depending on it, whether they like it or not.
I don't get why owning your own moon is something so exclusive? I mean surely if other star systems are like ours there are loads of them. Not to mention he could go into unexplored space and get one.
Moons also can mean inhabitable moons. And very little is unexplored in those sectors. Even dinky little planets are claimed by someone in Star Trek. Plus, what would you rather have, a house near a popular place, or a house in the middle of nowhere?
they should have made holes in Quark's ears. You can see the rubber so clearly... Why does it have to be so that with years special effects lose their essence? :(
Bullshit! The best scene from DS9 is when Quark rigs the computers on the stations to issue those free refill mugs and the ads on the view screens. That jingle is a classic!!!
Ah, Elim Garak. Easily the best character in the Deep Space Nine series, if not the whole damn genre. Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy, he did it all, and in the end his own planet, the one who cast him out for being a double agent and a security risk, welcomed him back as an ambassador for New Cardassia. If it were any more ironic you could make horseshoes out of it.
In the novel The Never-Ending Sacrifice by Una McCormack, Garak becomes the Cardassian ambassador to the Federation and resides in Paris. Granted this isn't show canon, but it's still the evolution of the character in the novels.
A Stitch In Time by the actor who played Garak ends with him as Ambassador as well if I recall because other novels do mention Garak as being the Ambassador.
The Never Endijng Sacrifice is a sequel to the episode Cardassians that follows the character Rugal who bit Garak's hand and went back to Cardassia.
Yes. He got lots of death threats over it and had to get an unlisted phone number. The police had to investigate the death threats since they were credible. People honestly believed he was a serial killer due to the performance. He also had a hard time getting roles in film due to being typecasted due to his stellar performance of a serial killer.
I always thought an interesting story would be someone flooding the Ferengi market with replicated latinum, causing rapid inflation. I remember reading something from one of the powers that be of Trekdom stating Ferengi didn't work as main villains because they're all about greed, and you could just replicate money so what's the point? Obviously this was never explored in show. I do remember an episode of DS9 where the Federation gave Cardassia 3 Industrial replicators.
There was a novel where someone did figure out how to replicate latinum or make it look like latinum till it was shown how to unmask the fool latinum.
@Amar7605 That one is definitely up there. However I think that scene really only has the weight it does because of the entire episode before it. This scene by contrast, having its own weight, somehow brings everything else into its orbit.
@Uridien It's a fascinating subject to think about all the things that can't be replicated in Star Trek. It's something I really wish they explored more in the show, but also something that a fan can really geek out on.
The novels and other background materials state that replicators are limited in what they can do some materials cannot be replicated plus some stuff is more energy expensive to replicate. Also there are people who do not want replicated items since the replicated items do not have the quality of hand made items for example. Plus if someone wants a item from the past why would they use a replicator when they want the antique item.
@toomanyaccounts that is kind of untrue to the canon tough. if a replicator can replicate matter from energy as we can see that in the case of food. it should be able in theory to replicate most elements of the periodic table. and bamm you have the purest iron or gold or whatever.
that allways seemed the reason to me why "gold" is usualy consider worthless in star trek. and the only currency in intergalactic trade is latinum(cant be replicated). (or commodities)
In the canon non replicated food and items are seen as luxury items. In the case of food and drink replicated stuff is said to not have the correct taste or texture. In certain cases this is due to inexperience in replicating the food or drink.
"bamm you have the purest iron or gold or whatever."
In reality however you often don't want the purest of an element. Pure gold is brittle. Gold jewelery is often only a percent pure gold. Old school test was to bite into gold.
@toomanyaccounts well if i want to work with something it has to be high purity. as a chemist i dont want impurities to screwup experiments and so on. and if you want to bring impurities into any kind of replicated element youcan do that later on. why have impurities replicated into the element?
and i said that about the food myself too. but seeing food is made up of carbohydrates and so forth the replicator should be totaly capable of replicating other elements aswell.
Food tastes differently not only due to the ingredients but how said ingredients were raised and even farmed. Just because you have the atomic structure of the food doesn't mean you would reproduce the exact taste. It's like cooking something from fresh and cooking it from frozen or reheating something. The taste is quite different and even in blind taste tests a good to great palate can tell the difference.
@toomanyaccounts im sorry but that isnt true. of course a grassfed cow will taste very different then one that has been living on a diet of everything but grass. but the atomic structure is indeed the deciding factor. if the replicator is capable of getting it right down to the atoms then it should in theory have no problem replicating the differences in taste aswell. because after all these differences are only made up by different compositions of organic aminoacids and fats.
Sorry not true. Atomic structure doesn't tell what the texture of the meat is. Chemists etc try to duplicate natural tastes all the time even trying the chemical structure and guess what the artificial stuff doesn't taste like the natural stuff. The people who do artificial sweets etc will tell you in theory they can replicate the taste but in reality they cannot replicate the taste.
@toomanyaccounts as a chemist i have to tell you that you are simply not correct. everything comes down to atomic structure of the molecule in question. what are artificial sweets? you mean jelly and winegummy?
i can tell you why it is not allways possible to recreate certain things in real life. we dont have replicators and synthesizing certain molecules is simply not possible within a certain budget. with a replicator you could do that 1:1
Not quite. Replicated food and drink is done by replicating down to the molecular level, not the quantum level. Quantum-level replication is too costly for food, but is used in transporting. This leaves single-bit errors in the food. Imagine the food is 99.999999999% correct. Some people can tell the difference, but most cannot.
It's not like replicated food is terrible, and real food irreplaceable.
@marktrade88 it all is very confusing because if you can replicate things or materialize things down to the atom youd think they could figure out how to replicate other things too.
but then again you also hear about "industrial" replicators and who knows if those arent capable of having a much higher "resolution" then normal replicators. i guess normal replicators would put so much imperfections into any gun that it would break. old pistols/revolvers shouldnt be a problem tough.
poster the best scene is the last one of the series where they all look back on their lives and everyone moves on.. worf looks back before heading though the air lock julian playing the game.. thats an episode not this one
What is so interesting about good actors is that they have usually had all sorts of parts, sometimes on Broadway, singing and dancing.. could these two have starred in "CATS"? Hollywood and Broadway are strange places.
Best. Series. Ever. Although I can't stand root beer either. He should have offered Garak a cherry cola. Orange, cream, grape, regular cola, anything but root beer.
@marktrade88 That's been my nerdly assessment. In the real world, we have so many different varieties of beer, each with its own taste, headiness, and even consistancy. It would make sense that on other planets, they would have beverages that while called by one name, have distinctly different characteristics depending on the region and subculture that makes it.
@peterlicious It's actually carosine syrup. But after the actor who plays Damar complained so much about the taste they changed it to sugar free maple syrup which he hated even more
It wasn't the taste. They were using Karo syrup, and according to the crew, he was "acting weird" after drinking too much. It was too much sugar. So they switched to the sugar-free syrup, and added thickener.
@peterlicious i always figured it was like wine, there are differnt types, much like there are Reds, whites, Chablis, Zinfandels, Seasonals, Varietals, etc.
The fact that Quark would throw his lot in with the Federation, which he does, proves how much the Federation has changed him. Without even knowing why he risks his life passing messages to Starfleet. He gives his employees breaks and even vacation pay. He doesn't abuse them nor does he deal in anything really licit. You might even call Quark a soft-core criminal. He wants to make some extra money, but he doesn't want to hurt anyone to do it. Face it Quark - you're a good guy.
You forgot during the occupation he paid Bajoran workers a little more than the minimum required, and sold food and I think supplies to them at cost. And the Mirror Universe version stood up against the Bajoran military, and tried to help the oppressed, and was killed for it.
The Federation is root beer.

@marktrade88 That's been my nerdly assessment. In the real world, we have so many different varieties of beer, each with its own taste, headiness, and even consistancy. It would make sense that on other planets, they would have beverages that while called by one name, have distinctly different characteristics depending on the region and subculture that makes it.

@username8434 It sounds like you worked on the set? How interesting. From now on I will be tempted to refer to apple cider as "kanar." ;)

At one point it was corn syrup and the actor who played Damar got weird from drinking it.

@peterlicious It's actually carosine syrup. But after the actor who plays Damar complained so much about the taste they changed it to sugar free maple syrup which he hated even more

@ThatBritishVlogger
It wasn't the taste. They were using Karo syrup, and according to the crew, he was "acting weird" after drinking too much. It was too much sugar. So they switched to the sugar-free syrup, and added thickener.

@ThatBritishVlogger hahaha, interesting. And Damar was drinking large quantities in almost every episode. Poor guy :)

It's because what they were using before (some kind of syrup) was making Damar and other cardiassian actors sick :)

The fact that Quark would throw his lot in with the Federation, which he does, proves how much the Federation has changed him. Without even knowing why he risks his life passing messages to Starfleet. He gives his employees breaks and even vacation pay. He doesn't abuse them nor does he deal in anything really licit. You might even call Quark a soft-core criminal. He wants to make some extra money, but he doesn't want to hurt anyone to do it. Face it Quark - you're a good guy.

Very true - but he also had great insights on humans and nicely critical look.

You forgot during the occupation he paid Bajoran workers a little more than the minimum required, and sold food and I think supplies to them at cost. And the Mirror Universe version stood up against the Bajoran military, and tried to help the oppressed, and was killed for it.

I'm gonna take it as a bad sign that I randomly clicked on this link after having just watched this episode last night.
Give me back my life, Trek. Please?

I have been a Star Trek fan for well over 40 years and I rate Garak as one of the best characters ever. Definitely a fave of mine.

@HortHawg To be fair, DS9 has more than its share of well-developped characters, compared to other Trek series.

If sarcasm were a deadly weapon, Garak would expunge all life from the universe. He's so awesome.
