I knew it began with a "G" but couldn't come up with it. Yeah, delightfully slimy character you kind of almost want to trust but....

Garak bears me in mind if the old phrase: I won’t lie to you... unless it is necessary.

I disliked DS9 when it aired, because it seemed like a space soap opera. Today I love it, & Orville is starting to smell like DS9.

The original series, Next Generation and Enterprise (just wish it had a better theme song)
Quark was one of my favorite characters on the show. He was a devious and self-serving little s---, but he did exhibit compassion and kindness at times and wasn't nearly the Ferengi he made himself out to be.
My first reaction was "it wishes". But nah, The Orville has no wish to be anything like DS9 from the looks of it.
Some Quark moments I remembered were his commentary on the Federation (apart from his famous "root beer" chat with Garak):
Does "in the end" mean you watched all of it?
I have been watching DS9 every week night on the Heroes & Icons station:

H&I became available over the air locally a few months ago.

DS9 is my favourite series although I originally struggled through series 1. I’m liking series 1 now though.
Then Next Gen, Enterprise and now enjoying Discovery (not yet a favourite).
I was too young to see TOS first time around and have only seen bits and bobs of it in reruns over the years. Plus the movies. So I haven’t rated it. But yeah, I like it.

I loved it when Garak planted a bomb in the shuttle of the Romulan senator in order to bring the Romulans to the federation side in the dominion war. Sisko was struggling with morality, but Garak knew what had to be done and did it, no matter how ruthless it was.
DS9 was goofy as hell. The dumbest, worst-acted, lamest stick on ears/foreheads aliens sci fi show of all time. It was like a soap opera without good looking people, only slower. So painfully predictable, and SOOOOO slooooooooooooooooow. Oh look a ferhengi is a con man! Oh look the new alien onboard is causing an issue/doesn't get along! It ended a life of watching star trek stuff, although I did go back and watch NG long after it wrapped. Flame away, it won't change the fact it stunk.
