Captain Nog, you made all of us proud. God speed. Aron and Renée's deaths are a tragedy, but I am forever grateful to have seen them perform and bring their respective customers to life in ways no one else ever could have. It's a shame they never got to film season 8.

Its a sin of Star Trek not to let us know what happened to Garak and Cardassia after so many years. We demand closure ! :D

Garek's reasoning is sound. Countless lives would have been saved (by the sacrifice of their own) if they had just glassed the planet. Is it genocide if the murder of 15,000 combatants (wiping out a species) saves 100,000+ more sentient lives? It makes for a very interesting ethical debate.

In case Gul Baneel decides to show some initiative...lol.

And what would the Discovery Crew do? Likely cry until Burnham then saved them from dealing with a discussion.

Remarkable actor. Died shortly after it was over.

What a big shock it was for me to learn that Tain was Garak’s father all along.

Garak is one of the best actors in Star Trek! A simple tailor!!!

“You still have a lot of work ahead of you.” ‘Don’t worry, you’re never going to regret this.’ And he never did . . .

1:29 So far, Sisko found out that Nog is a hard worker and he's honest. But, if he lets Nog attend the academy, he might try to bribe his way up the ranks. He is a ferangi after. It wasn't until Nog broke down and told Sisko his true motives, that he was given a chance. I love ds9.

Biggest misconception in history is assumption Oppressors are worst and oppressed are sincere. Truth is we know Nothing of Bajoran society in history, 1st attempt re-kindle it's original caste based societal underpinning; a guy murdered a man just because he was part different societal branch.......in span of a day. the Occupation lasted 50 years, and 15 million died. That's an average 300,000 occupation related deaths ON all of Bajor a population of 3.8 Billion. Occupation related death of 1 out of 12,000. That's farely low. Cardassians tightly controlled the Bajoran economy. Leaving would have completely disrupted it, resulting in vacuums of capital, collapsed supply chains, and temporary but severe depression. If Cardassians are in charge of distributing food, and the Cardassians suddenly leave along with all their equipment, who distributes food? It takes awhile to figure it out. A similar thing happened to Russia following the end of the Soviet-era controlled economy. After the fall of communism, Russian GDP went into a tailspin for several years. It's exactly what you'd expect to happen following such a dramatic and sudden shift in planetary governance. In fact, it was probably inevitable. By contrast Earth' 2nd World war killed 60-100 million in 6 years.

"That's precisely what prompted the ban on DNA re-sequencing in the first place." Well, yes, that and the genocide Odo. Minor detail.

This was the turning point where Nog went from annoying friend of Jake, to becoming an excellent character with depth.

Got this clip on a favorites list. Love how well&hard Nog mmakes his case.

I cried listening to Nog "I just need a chance to prove it." What most of us want.

Spoiler alert: the holodeck program was specifically prepared by one William T. Riker.

I'm hopefully 1 day, I will hear the song!!!

A truly profound scene. One of the absolute best in the entire series.

Priyark sounds like Plutarch.

Garak put up a pretty damn good fight

I could 100% see Garrick just using poison after the fact. Quirk would never know it was coming, lmao.

Finding 13 year old DS9 clips on UA-cam, Priceless. thank you OP, and thank you to everyone in the comments, keeping the internet alive. <3

Never noticed that Garak was warning about the Klingon/ Kardassian alliance.

I can´believe that Julian and Elim aren´t canon. Soooooo perfect

1:30 This scene is Nog's pivot from being Jake's hard luck friend to becoming a full rounded character of his own. But it also is alot about his father, Rom. Rom, who didn't have a name other than "Ferengi Pitt Boss" in the pilot script, being summed up by his son. Great engineer, but not a savvy businessman. Quark in a subsequent episode described how Rom was basically blind to what Nog's mother was as a person. Rom was so fixated on being a good family man... he let his father-in-law exploit him when he signed a marriage contract extension with Nog's mother. She & her father cleaned him out... then she left him with Nog, basically begging Quark for a waiter's job. Rom basically thru 3 seasons looked like his self-confidence was destroyed. Rom was even understanding of Nog's Starfleet plans. Quark whined that Nog was going to undermine Ferengi society. Rom dismissed that claim... he said Nog just wanted a job with better hours. Ironically, I think the writers deciding to develop Rom's character into more than a punchline probably started after Nog's speech here. Nog's ambition to make something of himself... instead of being like mirror universe Nog & take over Quarks bar [before being the token Ferengi murder victim each visit to the mirror universe yielded]... ...seemed to fuel Rom's desire to be more than Quark's "Waylon Smithers"... ...and even inspired him to date for the 1st time since his divorce.

She's not Keiko

People seem to forget that Garak actively practises lies and rhetoric, and constantly toys with people to keep his mind sharp. It’s doubtful that he actually believes in the occupation, especially considering we know he was exiled from Cardassia in the aftermath of it. It’s never stated what happened, but I believe the implication from his character is that he is a believer in the idea of Cardassia as it claims to be, but doesn’t accept when Cardassians want to do things that aren’t aligned to idealised Cardassia values. They are still alien values that we wouldn’t agree with, but he’s not a supervillain who believes “anything is good so long as the Central Command benefits from it.” He’s like Worf in that respect. Worf is the ideal, true Klingon who believes in real (not expedient and political) honour, and that costed him his place in the Empire until the end of DS9. Garak, too, likely lost his place in the Union because he believes in whatever the true values of Cardassia are..

You can trust Garak about as far as you can throw him, but I can't think of many others I would want in the group than him. He always pulls through in the clutch and was most pivotal in all the dealings of the DS9 crew and mission.

Garak is hands down the best character in all of Star Trek. I can't help though thinking about how the guy playing Garak is also the guy Dirty Harry asked "Do you feel lucky? Well do you punk?"

data shold have stuned him

One thing I loved about the 3 Ferengi characters, they all felt so inconsequential in the beginning. Just like every other Ferengi. But by the end of the series, Nog is on his way to being a titan in Starfleet, and gets a ship named after him in the distant future. His father finally found a good wife and became Grand Negus and is responsible for the Ferengi joining the Federation. And, Quark is one of the biggest business leaders in the Alpha quadrant. They weren't just any Ferengi, they were the best Ferengi. That whole family, no wonder Zek couldn't resist his mother.

Hilarious that Garak basically took the whole day off to screw with Quark's head like this.

Never spoke to grandpa face to face. Too terrifying. Look at the two boys who spied on me. I’m happy helping behind the scenes but to acknowledge them or take one as a lover would be dangerous to my well being. I don’t want to be a public punching bag for everyone. Grandpa isn’t the friendly sort and I can only help him from a distance

Worf - I do not like doctors. Dr Pulaski drank poison tea for you, Worf!

Garak complaining about everything Romulan being gray is especially ironic when you take a look at Cardassian aesthetics

Garak’s stories are all true yet untrue at the same time.

Kinda funny Garak never thought of a silenced pistol. Instantaneous and quiet

While it was wrong to exclude Augments from society, it was obvious heightened requirement and guidelines would've been needed. For example with education, remove C's and B's as passing grades for Augments.

I wish we'd had more scenes with these two!

Garak was so proud of his work and was so shocked when quark didn’t like it.

1:08 😂

I like that Bashir adressed Data as "Sir".

Nog should have made a deal with his grandmother. She could do her business deals in his name and secretly split the profits. Then Nog would have a reputation as a good businessman, profit and grandma gets whatever she wants. That would have been a great storyline

...and then he answers.."You'd be be surprised by the the things tailors have to deal with, when suffering dissatisfied customers".

You have to wonder how many people are just hanging around on the bridge waiting to take over vital stations without a word when one of the main characters leaves to do something more interesting.

brb rewatching all of DS9

By the way, writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe was going to name it the Grey Order until he found out Babylon 5 had the organization known as The Grey Council. So he ended up picking Obsidian Order which sounds cooler anyway.

When I saw this episode and they were reviewing the inventory, I was waiting for the coin to drop. When do we find out Nog cheated the inventory somehow? What kind of trick did he use? And then the moment passed and the coin was still being held. And I couldn't help but stare as I was watching yet another character who was becoming more than we've known them to be. The comments have kind of spoiled it for me. That's my fault. But I love seeing what Nog becomes. I can't wait to meet future him as I continue to binge DS9

Television and movies show so many dysfunctional father son relationships. Yet, because of that we see how important that relationship is. No matter how warped a writer's perception might be, their preoccupation with and longing for a healthy version of that relationship shows how fundamental it really is to human experience.

Garek: I see, I trust someone in the Starfleet Intelligence will be sending someone along to make a good use in this opportunity..... Bashir: What do you mean?? Section 31 Agent Sloan: Hello Doctor!!!It's good to see You!! I Hope you are well rested!!! Section 31 have a assignment for you........... Bashir: .......
