Star Trek Video - Garak: Obsidian Order Man

[DraconusMajorus]

Garak was my favorite character in DS9 as well and I would have loved to see him and Q have a "battle of the wills" and intellect as well....shame it never happened. Would have been hilarious.

[TheLastComa]

Garak was the selling point for Deep Space 9 for me...well him and Grand Nagus Zek.

[bobert4him]

I'm curious. In what episode did our ds9ers don tuxes and play spy vs spy?

[andyrevell]

5 people were betrayed by Garak........

[Purrplegal98]

OMG, Garak is one of my favorite startrek characters, and this is perfect for him! Thank you so much for uploading!

[MapleBalls]

@Purrplegal98 took the words right out my mouth.

[GunmanTheH]

Garak is the most epic Star Trek character ever.

[Ziolon]

Garak is the man :)

[TheSeverusSnape]

Utterly fantastic!! Easily my favorite character in all of Star Trek. This fanvid does him justice.

[anorganoidnamednova]

EPIC WIN.

[babylon218]

Dukat made 5 accounts and disliked this vid.

I was expecting the james bond theme to be completely honest.

[TheMultiGunMan]

★★★★★

Cool. Awesome job my friend!

[marktrade88]

My favorite lol 3:24

Like it really happened. :)

[marktrade88]

This really is very well done. Good job!

[TheDigitalRose]

I think this is definitly my favorite of the Garak / Bashir videos ever made.

[wwwNooBcom]

i would loved it if there was more to thr story of garak, but then again the less you know about him just adds to his effect

[darkpassengers]

It's a three way tie: Garak, Spock and Data. With Seven and Odo close runner ups

[EricThe12ABee]

Garak is by far the most awesome Star Trek character of all time.

[zugurudumba]

To my shame, I forgot Dukat.

[zugurudumba]

Garak, Q, Quark and Weyoun were among the best characters in Star Trek. The whole Star Trek.

TOS? Don't even worth mentioning. TNG? Picard and probably Data. The rest were crap. Voyager - same as TOS. And we don't talk about ENT.

[xbox644]

I like Garak, in TNG, all cardassians were portrayed as monsters.

[DominionChris]

The Fifth dislike is Weyoun, well him or Gul Dukat,

or a Bajoran,

Point is Garak has lots of enemies it seems

[NeferZero]

Great video!

[mbbell23]

I love how he can say so much about his past, yet give away so little of his past!

[drmccoyfan909]

Wow. This is great!!! Totally fits Garak. I wonder what Garak would say if he saw this...-ponders-..........Duka­t would probably jump for joy if he saw the four dislikes....This is a great video though!!!

[jeffhegarty]

I love Bashir's expression at the end of the Boy Who Cried Wolf sequence, as in 'Why do I bother with this guy?' He he he.

[2LucasKane3]

Lol.. I know he is singing "secret agent man" but i alway hear "secred asian man"

[vladquebec]

Seriously, DangerMouse14, AWESOME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is probably one of my favorite characters of all time and you've made a wonderful montage with all those scences, SERIOUSLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[akcheshirecat]

PERFECT!

[SpockLover27]

"That you should never tell the same lie twice." I screamed like the fan girl I am! I LOVE YOU Garak!!!!!!!!

[historymouse]

looks better than any other cardassian, or kardashian, for that matter

[SpockLover27]

What's the last scene? poor Garak. :(

[bosundave]

My Goodness, Sir! That was, with out a doubt, the finest fan video I have ever seen. Well done!

I dont think i can add to all the compliments you have received so far except that I concur!! I hope to God, Andy Robinson has had a chance to see this. I am sure he would take it as a most excellent praise to his craft!

[Psychotol]

"My name is Elim Garek, and I was a spy, untill-" "We got a burn notice on you, you're black listed, I'm sorry."

There's GOTTA be crossover potential in that. Not sure who'd make a good Fi or Sam, Kira could possibly be either, but there'd be no attraction or comradery there, and Zyel (surprise me not if I mispelled that) is flat out shit at violence.

And imagine the subtitles and revised subtitles: "Capt. Sisko: Tight-assed human." "Capt. Sisko: Occasionaly a complete bastard."

[s043487263]

never tell the same lie twice:)

[s043487263]

"that you should never tell the same lie twice"

[BlueKewne]

4 people are Bajoran Resistance members.

[hopelessearth]

After so many time of him repeating sercret agen man it starts to sound like secret "Asian" man

[Velocity9s]

A spy? No...Just plain, simple Garak....

[hawkie24601]

Brilliantly edited! Love it :D

[hcvang]

love Garak... love DS9... his lunches with Julian every day are some of my favourite scenes. A spy, member of the obsidian order, but with a human sense of morals and right/wrong... couldnt kill a ship full of civilians, in spite of being ordered to, because they were innocent... maybe not much of a cardie, but one hell of a guy. love that character.

[cdciam09]

oh my, garek is SO sexy!!!

[sailbeyondthesunset]

To echo the comments of a fellow Youtuber: "Garak is the man for any job because he GETS SH*T DONE!

Can anyone tell me the episode at 1:03 - 1:10?

[edybeast]

One of my favorite DS9 characters; great job!

[DragonMagi]

THAT CARDASSIANS A SPY!

[MercuriaObscura]

This video is so awesome, the song fits perfectly and everytime I watch it, I enjoy it even more. And Garak is NOT my favourite DS9 character ;)

[kyarilee]

I can see why this why a winner. Excellent video.

[BibelotMyFuzball]

The four dislikes were members of Central Command. (:

[Lamporre]

@BibelotMyFuzball

"They're ALL dead?"

"I trust you're not going to mourn their passing?"

"Quite the contrary!"

[sailbeyondthesunset]

@BibelotMyFuzball , lol or Section 31!

[TraineeHero]

@BibelotMyFuzball The fifth is from Dukat.

[Vasquetz]

You must be a god *_*

This has to be one of the top 5 best fanmade videos I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot ;)

The editing is flawless and the choice of scenes, too. And bridging the instrumentals with some of Garaks best lines is just awsome - realy realy well done!

[workstrength]

Andy Robinson on Ryan's Hope watch?v=ONeWeF9OJ7k&feature=re­lated

[workstrength]

Search YouTube for watch?v=GmijlOwnXuE&feature=re­lated  to see where Andrew (Andy) Robinson started... first in 1971 as the killer in Dirty Harry with clint Eastwood... and then was a regular on Ryan's Hope as Frank Ryan.

[MelodySaki]

I wish they'd made more episodes about Garak. XD I love characters like him. It's like my fanlove for Snape in harry potter. there's just so much conflict and depth to the character. :)

[tron81]

secret asian man?

[MelodySaki]

omg this is hilarious XD

[stareyedwitch]

It's really to bad they never put Garak and Q in the same room.

[ladythalia]

@stareyedwitch OMG never thought of that. What a brilliant idea!

[SpockLover27]

@stareyedwitch OH THAT would have been EPIC! Why didn't they???

[aaa7ish]

@stareyedwitch Garak would win

[Xanxtuary]

I adore Garak, one of my all time favourite sci-fi characters!

[Dragosmart]

"Lying is a skill like any other. And if you want to maintain a level of excellence, you have to practice constantly." - Elim Garak

For me Garak was definetly the best supporting character of all Trek series. I'd love to see him being a main character, though

[andur50k]

This is a brilliant video for one of the best Trek characters, very well done 5/5

[BrightFire1439]

I love this video! You did a very good job here. The scenes match up perfectly with the music. I also think that the brief periods of dialogue are great. 5 stars!

[aaa7ish]

I agree with Dangermouse14 and his perspective, the ending fits the song.

[lucasofborg]

I'm only half way through season 2 but DS9 is slowly becoming my favorite star trek series and yes Garak is a beast! lol!

[lucius1976]

At 2:44. Thats definitely NOT the face of a tailor!

[CSXer]

Great still @ 2:45. Looks like a cross between Christopher Walken and Dirty Harry!

Bet it was hard to act when all you had to work with was your eyes and lips under all that make up.

[mtrekdata42]

Okay this is driving me nuts; what eps are at 0:15, 0:43, and 3:04??? DX Does anybody know? PLEASE?!

[DougAddams]

Outstanding! I always thought the character of Garak was underdone. This brings him to a new light.

[blowtup]

Sounds like he is saying ASIAN.

[RoninShinobi88]

Good job it fits very well. I always like Garak because he was only true reoccuring character that was a mystery.

[XPhileRemi]

Man, EVERY time I think of Garak, I hear this song. SO perfect EVERY time!

*applauds again*

I'm not surprised at all that this won. Such a perfectly amazingly exact video!

[NothingOriginal55]

Garak and Bashir playing tennis Garak FTW. (ok technically not garak since he was only part of bashir's mind and oh I've gone crosseyed).

[TheOrderOfWorlds]

his is soo good :-)

[Lengytam]

Garak is my fav from ST too, a very intelligent, and well designed character, and that song fits him perfectly.

I think this is his best line (and the funniest too) :

Bashir: So of the stories you told me, which ones were true?

Garak: My dear doctor, all of them were true.

Bashir: What about the lies?

Garak: Especially the lies.

[PainIsParty]

I don't recall the exact words, but my favorite was when Bashir an Garak were in the middle of an assault and Bashir says "You seem to be quite comfortable in a situation like this" and Garak smiles "Oh that's just somthing I read in a book"

[alielin]

Haha, I love that look of defeat on Bashir's face 2:33.

Garak is amazing!

[Azazel84]

Yeah, definitely Garak not that James Bond type spy, but much more realistic:D

But he is still a liar sneaky bastard...with his own pleasent and gentle style:D

[Reingur]

...and he is excellent at that (sneaking withholding the truth etc) but for some reason he is on the same side as the Federation but with different methods. He is still a Cardassian.

Just buy the last season everybody gets what they deserve.

[Atoz1]

I've loved ST my whole life but never had a "favorite" character until Garak. He mirrors my favorite political philiosopher, Niccolo Machiavelli, to a tee. Would love to have Garak as President of the US

[extractdigit]

I love Garak! he is a man for everyone and noone and Andrew Stevens is perfect beyond words. Those eyes, those lips, that Garak!

[metalfluffy]

Garak is the ShizzNizzle. Check out 0:20!

[MajorasWrath]

He's one of my fave characters in DS9. I'm glad to have had the honour to meet Andrew J Robinson in real life, he's a nice guy really lol.

[Reingur]

I also like Garak, he (almost) never violent, but always one step ahead of things. If I were to pick an away team I would have Garek, Quark and Worf on my team.

[fancyflybitch78]

Hey this is a great vid! I love Garak, he is one of the best characters in the entire Star Trek. BTW, this song really rocks!

Don't ever tell the same lie twice!

[rigbyrocks]

Garak and Bashir have to be my two favorites characters from all the Star Trek series. The fact that they appear together in DS9, just makes this show that much better.

[Lamporre]

Love this vid. One of the best I've seen on Youtube.

[t1ngley]

Secret Asian man? Garak isn't Asian!

[JICCA18]

He's singing 'secret AGENT man'!

[VaitrucciSatch]

Garak is so awesome.

[TheKestryl]

You've got really awesome videos, man. Keep up the great work!

[srooster87]

Loved this video! Very very well put together, Garak is one of my fave trek characters of all time - thank you!!!!

[Blackadder125]

This video would win the internets if Garak hadn't already won them.

[Furball2k]

That was Awesome!!!

Such a great style for such a great character!

[gimlisam]

Such a perfect song for that guy. Great video!

[Soullinkia]

Hey what eps are 0:38 and the final scene, which are they? Thanks if anybody can tell me!

[smartalec2001]

I think .38 is from the episode 'Empok Nor'.

[Lamporre]

Yeah it's Empok Nor. Garak is brought along to defuse Cardassian booby traps, but then gets possessed by extreme xenophobia and starts killing the members of the team.

[molkyt]

I can't stop watching this video it's so awesome :D It's just so well made and timed :D

[EvolutionStratus]

One of the smartest characters on television....period.

[MrDavy78]

Garek reminds me so much of Batman, Only difference is that he isn't under disguise!

[dangermouse14]

No fast forwarding. In fact, we extended it. Originally there was only one instrumental sequence but we wanted to put in 2 dialogue scenes because Garak is such a great speaker. So we took the instrumental between verse 1 & 2 and also put it between verse 2 & 3. Garak has too many good scenes!

[Lamporre]

Never mind my last comment. It was just a little glitch on my computer.

And yeah I noticed the instrumental repeat. Allows for many more Garak scenes.

One question though; instead of ending it with a shot of Garak killing Weyoun or doing something badass, you end it with him trapped in a small place hammering on the window. Why?

[dangermouse14]

It was more in keeping with the song. The song isn't about the glory of the job. The song is about being trapped as a spy, which certainly fits Garak, who is trapped on the station, and in this scene, feeling the claustrophobia.

[Lamporre]

How fitting that Garak is claustrophobic.

Yes, it makes sense. And might I say, a very good job done.

[geligniteandlilies]

Hilarious. Garak kicks ass.

[mattmanganon]

lets face it, garak is awesome

[Lamporre]

And this is a fitting tribute to such an awesome character.

[ncruhk]

Very nicely done! :)

[sivko23]

you forgot scene when he appeared from darkness to major kira, i thought that was so cool :)

[VaitrucciSatch]

Garak and Dukat.... so much awesomeness. They are both such amazing characters. Maybe they even rival Picard.

[Lamporre]

Picard's got nothin on Elim Garak.

[Lamporre]

If they ever make another Star Trek series in the next seven years, they need to get Garak back as Head of the newly reformed Obsidian Order and one of the chief executors of rebuilding Cardassia.

[molkyt]

Good God I love this thank you! XX

[mandy158]

This is one of my most favorite videos on youtube ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot for your effort in making it. The best!

[Lamporre]

Dude, what episode was 2:45? He looks so badass it's unbelievable.

[alan120184]

Rocks and Shoals, he's on a jem hadar ship the star fleet have and it crashes onto a barren planet - which also has some jem hadar on it.

[JimmySteller]

Wait did Sisko just punch Garak in his own store? What the hell did Garak do to deserve that treatment?

Oh well, it's not like it would hurt Garak at all.

[alan120184]

It's from the episode "in the plae moonlight". He punches garak for rigging a romulan ship to explode, since an earlier plan of theirs didnt work.

Brilliant episode if you havent seen it.

[JimmySteller]

This was awesome! Garak was the coolest Cardassian of them all, followed closely by Dukat.

[badger5079]

His hairline is not real strong either.

[Katmarie100]

My favourite all time Garak quote has to be: 'Kiss the girl, get the key...they never taught me that in the Obsideon Order!' Classic!

[scottdcfc66]

Garak is quality loved it when fought in the carrdasin rsistance against the domiinon

[DeanSpockwell]

Great video.

Secret Agent Man was the late Patrick McGoohan's series prior to The Prisoner wasn't it?

McGoohan would've made a great Cardassian. Preferably as Tain's successor as head of the Obsidian Order.

Cool vid.

[PosthumanSuperstar]

whats tht dude that kinda looks like a cardassian, but he has less striking features, and he always protects the founders. What race is he? is he some kind of cardassian sub species? lol

[silentmukuro]

Um, not really sure what you mean, but Jem'Hadar maybe?

[IrishBean18]

the jem'hadar are really the only ones who protect the founders. great movie!

[jeffhegarty]

I think he's a Vorta.

[Katmarie100]

jeffhegarty is right - you are thinking of the Vorta.

[badger5079]

He is a secret Asian man.

[PedanticBohemian]

"I think I joined the wrong intelligence agency." LOL

DS9 is my favorite Trek, favorite tv series ever. And Garak, well the tinker, tailor, soldier, spy is too marvelous for words. Thanks for this video!

[MurasakiYugata]

Well done video.

Also...I've never even watched a full episode of DS9, and already Garak's crawled up to my second favorite Trek character.  ^_^;

[1BigBen]

Excellent

[DICMANJAC]

garak je zakon

[iamingravedanger]

They've given you a number and taken away your name...

is this song great or what!

[psyeffect]

Great vid mate truly awesome ! ! ! Garak and Captain Sisko kick azz ! ! ! i really wish they made alot more episodes about Garak and his past... :(

[killbunniesdead]

I agree I whish there was more out there about Garak's past. There is a book called "A Stitch in Time" by the actor who played Garak but it has a lot of plot holes.

[RasAlGhul4000]

Best character in DS9 easily. A nice break from the optimistic over the top do gooder federation characters.

[lalahland]

Garak is hawt~

[DeadlyChinchilla]

I know what you mean... have you SEEN those neck ridges??? GrrrRAARrrr! ^_^

[Zermaa]

sarcastic, cinic, absolutely the best character!

[silaku]

@Zermaa  cynic.

[KnineContinuum]

Elim Garak is by far the best character in DS9, and, this may be a bit weird, by far the most gorgeous:)

[evelynsmith1988]

I 100% agree he is the most amusing to watch and very easy on the eyes :)

[ladyrilwen]

That's what I love about the comments on these sorts of vids- all us Cardassian fans come crawling out of the woodwork.

Garak. <3

[GothicDancer13]

@KnineContinuum I have to agree with you that is his gorgeuos. It's only weird to people who don't get him.

[MorganScorpion]

Garak! You rock!

[Kuja717155]

Garak is Rock!!!!!

[ucemujeproblem]

Garak is deffinitly the best character

[Korrigator]

Sehr geehrter Herr dangermouse14,

Garak ist meine Lieblingsfigur in DS9; und ich mag Ihr diesbezügliches Video sehr gerne.

Hochachtungsvoll,

George Red (Korrigtor)

[Istandil]

I like this vid very much. Text of the song is nice and scenes as well. I also like thematic short spoken parts exactly from the serial. I love to watch videos (especially nice ones) about Elim. They are quite rare. Thanks for this vid. :)

[keith6332]

garak was the man true cardassein he could have his own show the obsedion order

[teddybears1232001]

Freakin A!!! That was great!

[Scout14885]

Priceless!!

[blackfoca4]

This is brilliant! I can't stop watching it! LOL!

[mrs260]

I just got linked to this video--great stuff!

[sunnchilde]

Fantastic. Garak at his best.

"Do you want to know the awful thing? I'm a very good tayor."

[HammmmerFan]

I loved it! :D

[hicksmcb]

awesome vid man truly. I love the way Dukat always got the upper hand but only cause he lets him. This also reminded me of how i love the way Dukat walked. No-one in the military would ever walk like that - like shaggy from scooby doo.

Also i love for all of Garaks sceaming and such Sisko totally owns him in every scene except for the one where he justifies his assassination of the Romulan ambassadeur where Sisko cant say nowt back.

[HammmmerFan]

Quote:"Also i love for all of Garaks sceaming and such Sisko totally owns him in every scene [...]" Yes, I like Star Trek, but I never couldn't bring myself to like that "good-people always win evil-people" thing. Garak was "evil" enough to be putted in each occasion down, and occasionally humiliated, by Sisko or the other heroes. :(

[hypotriox]

very nicely made video!

[rvgmuhs07]

This is a f***ing brilliant video! Garak is one of my favorite Star Trek characters of all time!

[Traininghopper]

Garak is brilliant!

[raynelycan]

Best Garak line ever: "You shot me!"

[HookSilverSparrow]

GARAK IS SOOOOOO HOT!

[Squirrel36]

I totally agree!!! The hottest Cardassian!!!!

[fight4all]

Perfect! Garak made a couple of the seasons worth watching.

[Squirrel36]

Garak is the COOLEST CARDASSIAN EVER!!!!!!

[thechekov1701]

Garak is a legend!

[caoren445]

garak is bloody good!!

[multiplepov]

Masterful! I'm really impressed. This collection of shots is wonderful and fits the song perfectly. Wow.

[KHANRANGEL]

I LOVE GARAK! The perfect agent, no accent and makes good suits... perfect!!

[DemiseAngel2]

hahaha... this is great!!!

[Jownak]

Garaks face at 2:45 looks so awesome, and dare I say it, perhaps even a little sexy? What the hell, Im a straight guy, why the hell would I say that!?

Still, Im not as familiar with DS9 as I hope to become, but I can already tell Garak is just awesome, and is easily my favourite character in DS9.

Anyway, five star vid, it was excellent!

[Azurarose]

I will have to agree with you, sexy describes him at 2:45 well.
