Kor37 9 Posted March 8, 2005 Bashir related more to O'Brien but his interactions with Garek were much more interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gul_nodrog 2 Posted March 8, 2005 I thought that Bashir's "friendship" with Garak made Bashir seem like a bit of a twit. Garak's suave demeanor put Bashir in a very immature light. I liked Bashir and O'Brien much better ... they were more equals and very cute to watch. I loved it when Keiko came back to DS9 after her assignment on Bajor and she got the "boys" back together for their guys night out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrPsychic 1 Posted March 19, 2005 I just like Garak in any aspect. His personality, plus the way he talks is just plain cool. Call him the next James Bond. :angry: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anslem1701 0 Posted March 19, 2005 The Garak friendship was interesting and great, but the relationship between O'Brien and Bashir was just wonderful. You never really got to see a friendship between two guys who were just ... guys. Here, you saw it start off bad, turn into something more -- bloom -- all of that -- and then you got to see it end -- basically. Not the friendship, but how they dealt with the seperation. That's what's great about 7 years of character development. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted November 6, 2005 Bashir related more to O'Brien but his interactions with Garek were much more interesting This is my initial thought as well, though Bashir and O'Brien had some pretty interesting times as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sea trooper 0 Posted November 6, 2005 I liked his relationship with Miles. It was sad seeing them break up after 7 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted December 3, 2005 I think the Bashir/Garak relationship gave more story intrigue where Bashir/O'Brien gave a more "every day real life friendship" feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tench745 0 Posted December 3, 2005 I would definitely have to say that the Bashir/O'Brien relationship was more amusing from the start. And, it was nice to see two guys just being guys. The Bashir/Garek relationship was also interesting, but it was made to keep the plot moving in certain episodes. I am only comparing the earlier parts of the relationships, because as the series progressed, they were both great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stvoyagerfan 1 Posted December 4, 2005 i went with his friendship with o'brien. but i also liked his friendship with garak. his friendship with o'brien was a typical friendship. hanging out when off duty playing darts and stuff. garak was more of a business type. meeting for lunch and stuff. tm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krysis 2 Posted December 5, 2005 They are both equally rich. A very tough choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madam Captain 0 Posted January 2, 2006 Bashir had a great friendship with O'Brien and I liked their interations. It was interesting to see the way they 'tolerated' each other in the very beginning and then they became friends and by the end of the show, they were able to confide in each other. They even missed each other's company if they had to go away or whatever!! I also liked the interactions between Julian and Jadzia. She was always 'just beyond his reach'. I liked the way he kept chasing her throughout the seasons and the way she played games with him. I thought it was a nice touch when Ezri told Julian that if Worf hadn't come along, Jadzia would have gone after him. The most interesting interaction by far was between Garak and Julian. While he didn't even know Garak at all, Garak made him think that he knew 'everything' about him. I loved the way Garak could turn 2 words into ten and he had a way with words that had Julian fooled most of the time. I loved how Garak and Julian didn't meet up all the time but when they did, it was fantastic. I think Julian was the only person Garak could 'manipulate' in a way because he was so naive! Madam Captain out!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APW 0 Posted January 2, 2006 I'd think he interacted most with O'Brien. But I much preferred his interactions with Garak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Ericks 0 Posted January 3, 2006 I always thought that his relationship with Garak was very much more interesting. Just the differences between the two, plus the fact that, hey it's Garak! What not to love. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steel210 0 Posted July 2, 2007 Bashir related more to O'Brien but his interactions with Garek were much more interesting I totally agree with that. In the end I voted for O'Brien, though. As much as I enjoyed watch Garek and Bashir interacting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ Phaserman 2 Posted July 17, 2007 i belive he had a more of an interaction with o'brien. i mean since season 2 i think it's when they started to get along more. then when it got to saving odo's life, o'brien felt he was more than his friend, but as a brother.

Gummy 0 Posted July 17, 2007 I think O'Brien's relationship with Bashir was more interesting. I never liked Garak. Don't ask me why. I just don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spike The Trill 0 Posted July 22, 2007 I chose his friendship with Miles because I think that was a more true friendship that anything he had with Garrick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TJ Phaserman 2 Posted July 23, 2007 the only friendship he had with garak was a lunch friendship nothing more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DutchDebbie 0 Posted August 11, 2007 I liked the interaction between Bashir and Garak because it had that cloak and dagger feel to it which i loved and it added mystery around Garak,the interaction between Bashir and Miles was more of best buddy frendship so you kind of had a good idea how that would play out.

TJ Phaserman 2 Posted August 11, 2007 if you ask me the friendship between bashir and garak was more too much of an James Bond deal to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabo Queen 0 Posted November 30, 2007 Garak and O'Brien represent the ultimate choice for a girl (or in this case, Julian, which is close enough): you can either have the dark, mysterious guy with an unknown past, or the responsible guy who will be by your side no matter what. Julian plays to both like the whore he is. :P Oh, and I thought his chemistry was better w/Garak, though I loved Julian's chemistry w/both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPsychic 1 Posted December 1, 2007 I think O'Brien was more Bashir's best friend, someone to drink with. Garak would more be Julian's secret lover on the side, they both seem enamored with each other. Julian likes Garak's secrets for the Obsidian Order, and Garak likes Julian's hidden past and love of mysteries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeeingEyeBorg 0 Posted December 26, 2007 Julian and O'Brien interacted more, which is why Julian and Garak's interaction was more interesting. I think of O'Brien has the angel on one shoulder, and Garak as the devil on the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostofMajorHayes 10 Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) I never cared at all for the Bashir character- he was as worthless to DS9 as Malcolm Reed was to Enterprise! That is not a statement I throw around lightly.Bashir's friendships were a bit strange, but then again he was a strange character imo. His free time seemed to be spent more often with O'Brien. One can only speculate why? Edited December 26, 2007 by GhostofMajorHayes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
