haven’t watched the star treks in five million years but this is what happened in In The Pale Moonlight right

Following up on my last post it occurs to me I've never posted this hoop I did last year! My fave space station 💕

Edit: didn't think I would get so many notes!! This pattern is from the book Star Trek Cross Stitch by John Lohmann ✨ I got my copy from the library!

Avery Brooks deliveries that make me smile every single time I think of them.

Love when a DS9 episode is too serious and dramatic to have Quark in it but they're contractually obligated to pay him for the episode so Quark and Odo have one scene where they do a little vaudeville skit about the A plot. We interrupt this allegory for the Nuremburg trials to bring you Statler and Waldorf in space.

Deep Space Nine ruled constantly giving characters to interact with different pairings. Master of the A/B plot structure. Is this episode about an ethical dilemma causing big debate around a conference room table? No. We’re following Odo and Garak being catty bitches at brunch today. Also O’Brien is getting tortured again but what can you do.

MY BITCH POSE IS NEEEEAASTY

This plays like a really nice ending at first like "aw yeah Garak's a good guy in his own way after all :)" and then you rotate the events of the episode in your head a minute and realize that the only way any of this makes sense is if he was genuinely ready to turn them over to the military dictatorship and only changed course after Gul Dipshit was like "we can murder them and it will be epic and based" and Garak's mental calculus was "the terrorists are less of a threat to the military dictatorship alive than they would be as martyrs".

The quadrant's most charming and affable spook.

rip to this kira from something nsft i'm probably never going to finish
