Among The Reasons Why Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Is The Best Star Trek Is That The Outfits Look Like

Among the reasons why Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is the best Star Trek is that the outfits look like they were designed by a competent costume designer who had been given a pile of the world’s most miscellaneous fabrics and told that if they didn’t use it all up by sunrise, Rumpelstiltskin would take their firstborn child.

I really like those small moments when Spock kinda forgets himself for a minute because he's worried about Bones or Kirk. Like, it's so minor and it's a "blink and you'll miss it" sort of thing but I love it.

I'm watching "For the world is hollow and I've touched the sky" and There's a scene where Kirk tells him Bones has a terminal illness and he briefly touches Bones' shoulder while he's struggling to sit up and the look he has on his face idk. I personally think it was worry! He cares about Bones, despite the constant jibes. And he just found out he's ill.

I thought that was pretty sweet way of showing an aspect of Spock's character that isn't as in your face as others.. Really nice subtly there.

I was about to add commentary to the nice art I just reblogged but thought it would probably come off shady by accident fkckfk.

But Julian is canonically 28 in S1. We don't know Garak's age- in Improbable Cause he says Mila has worked for Tain for over thirty years, which could technically imply a thirty-something year old Garak, but A) we don't know how long Cardassian years are relative to Terran years and B) Garak is a notoriously evasive liar. Andy Robinson is 23 years older than Alexander Siddig, so I always head canon Garak as at least 20 years (or the sci-fi equivalent thereof) older that Julian- solidly middle aged, late 40s/early 50s. So yeah, Garashir insane age gap is real and makes their Whole Deal very funny to me.

Also I was curious so I looked it up just now and O'Brien is canonically 41 in S1 which also makes their Whole Thing very funny to me as well kxkckc

Everyone's all like "oooh, Garak is so mysterious" "Garak is an undecipherable enigma". No he's not, Garak is an open book, which is impressive considering that he is also a pathological liar. Like, he goes out of his way to avoid saying anything true, but at the same time he is incredibly open about his motives and allegiances.

imagine living on ds9 and dropping your pants off to get hemmed and a few days later you get a notification that they won’t be finished on time because the tailor got put in jail for attempted genocide
