@post-anarchybankism ehhh… i really wanna like him, and i think he had more of a conscience than dukat. garak never expressed any overt racism the way dukat did, and that made him seem more… morally ambiguous.

but even taking all the time he served in the obsidian order before his exile out of it, he still was incredibly nationalist and seemed to still have a lot of admiration for cardassian fascism. i think he did question the unfaltering “patriotism” he was raised to believe in towards the end- but that was because he saw cardassia completely overtaken by the dominion, not because of all the atrocities committed by the cardassian state before that.

to me, garak’s “redemption arc” didn’t truly even start until the very last episode, where he says the cardassia he knew is dead, and kira tells him to make a better one. 

i like to think that his time on ds9 changed garak’s views a lot. i like to think that the new cardassia that he helped to build was wildly different than the old one, but we never get a chance to see that happen. so while i enjoyed him as a character, i have mixed feelings about garak, for sure.

yes one of the things i like about garak is that he is Problematic As Fuck everything he does is for cardassia he is nationalist he is vaguely racist cardassia must be right maternis paternis motherfuckers! why do i always fall in love with the fucked up fascists

Odo:You haven’t told me your name.
Female Changeling:What use would I have for a name?
Odo:To differentiate yourself from the others.
Female Changeling:I don’t.
Odo:But you are a separate being, aren’t you?
Female Changeling:In a sense.
Odo:When you return to the link what will become of the entity I’m talking to right now?
Female Changeling:The drop becomes the ocean.
Odo:And if you choose to take solid form again?
Female Changeling:The ocean becomes a drop.
Odo:Ah…
Yes.
I think I’m beginning to understand.
Female Changeling:Then you can answer your own question.
How many of us are there?
Odo:One and many.
It depends on how you look at it.
