Raining all day today, I just had the long walk into work and “Trust me, there’s no word for ‘crisp’ on Ferenginar.” comes into my head. What is one of your favorites?

Yeah this quote has gotten me through some bad times, as silly as that might seem.

I love this quote and think it’s hilarious that it was said in response to Data moping about losing a video game.

Bashir: “They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle.”

Garak: “Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which, no doubt, did serious damage to their egos.”

Two, are they’re not surprisingly both from Garak:

Garak: The truth is usually just an excuse for lack of imagination.


Odo: You’d shoot a man in the back?

Garak: Well, it’s the safest way, isn’t it?

Garak has so many great quotes:

Garak: Treason, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.


Garak: I believe in coincidences. Coincidences happen every day. But I don’t trust coincidences.


Garak: Paranoid is what they call people who imagine threats against their life. I have threats against my life.

ZIYAL: Why don’t you just let Garak design a dress on his own? You know whatever he comes up with will be beautiful.

GARAK: My dear, I find your blind adoration both flattering and disturbing, but she does have a point.

The scene where Quark compares the federation to root beer with Garak.

Q: “I want you to try something for me. Take a sip of this. It’s called root beer. What do you think?”

G: “Oh! It’s vile!

Q: “I know. It’s so bubbly, and cloying, and happy.”

G: “Like the Federation…”

Q: “But you know what’s really frightening? If you drink enough of it, you begin to like it. Like the Federation…”

G: “Insidious!

Create post

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
