I didn’t like her or her voice initially, but she grew on me.

Spock and Kirk are 1-a and 1-b, without a doubt. Without their greatness is TOS, there are no other Star Trek series.

Maybe. He had a great moment - one of the best in all of Trek:




*SPOILERS*




It was really Garak with the dirty hands and really the one who could easily "live with that".

The whole thing is that Garak never any any other informant but instead size Sisko up to see if had the courage to go through with a frame job. Just showed how good Garak was in the obsidian order.

I really like the follow up book where the Romulans straight up told Sisko they know what he did and the entire evidence was faked, BUT a federation that would do whatever they needed to win was one they felt they could be allies with.

Quark was my favorite character on DS9. Plus the reason Garak was so complex as a character is because he was a closeted homosexual.

It's wild how many Star Trek alum are on Deadwood. In fact I just learned that this guy is Tom Nuttall from the #10 Saloon.

That's an A+ post. Everything you said I agree with, except TNG and DS9 are 1A/1B for me.

As for the OP, it has to be Spock. And I'm as big of fan of Garak as anyone. You can write Spock into any series at any point on any timeline, and he fits.

All I want for Christmas is Q

This for all the Q fans out there. I at least chuckled at it. Especially the Boxing part.
