bittylildragon:brite-eyed:bayern-moni:v-e-l-v-e-t-g-o-l-d-m-i-n-e:But then it really got complicated, especially when Garak’s addiction and despair began to surface. He needed someone to share it with. Ira Steven Behr and Andrew Robinson in the DS9 documentary What We Left BehindAnd now we know who exactly invented the ship between Garak and Julian Bashir, that is Garak’s actor Andrew Robinson! Basically, Andrew has been saying in nearly every interview in the last thirty years that one day he just saw Bashir’s actor, Siddig, and decided something along these lines: “Bashir is really good-looking, so as a character choice I thought, “What the hell? Why not go for it?” There is a close-up of Garak where it looks like he could eat him alive. And I’m sure that’s why I got the job” (his words, obviously, I’m not joking).So he turned the very first meeting between their characters in a shameless flirt on Garak’s part with Bashir’s actor’s complicity. Then Star Trek’s authority explicitly denied him the romance he wanted in the series because they were ‘90s, so Andrew got “revenge” by creating one of the most popular Star Trek ships ever! He even wrote a (implied Garak/Bashir) novel and uses every interview as an excuse to state how much his character Garak desired Bashir Now both the actors happily read GarakBashir fanfiction on YouTubeBonus (Jadzia Dax shipped them since the beginning):(I’m positive even Andrew Robinson’s wife has shipped them at this point) @bittylildragon check it outyesssssssssss :D :D :D -- source link
