I love that moment in the beginning. It's unstated, but it's clear that this cute trick of Odo's to fit in is also one of the Founders' many tools for passing as solid. Imagine Garak and "Bashir" meeting for lunch every week in the lead-in to "In Purgatory's Shadow," and this gets a lot darker.
I can imagine that a more skilled Changeling may even be able to actually consume external substances (food, drink, poison) and compartmentalize them internally, so they could actually "eat" and deposit the substance later. It does make you wonder how a Changeling metabolizes at all - perhaps they do some variety of filter-feeding, consuming microscopic organisms for nourishment and growth; or maybe they photosynthesize.
I love the look Garak gives the Klingon after he said "Cardassian lapdog"... Im sure he was thinking about ways he would choose to get rid of him... With his light smile on face

The Klingons shout about honour all the time, wheres the honour in four guys holding someone down while another batters him. Kinda cowardly, in my book.
Not all of them are honorable. Some of them are cowardly, some of them are greedy. They did all kinds of episodes about the Klingon high command and about how all their talk about honor is just talk and how it's all political, which is supposed to be distasteful to a Klingon. I guess the moral of that story is, they're people and people are fucked up.
Warf one on one against a non-Klingon would be more fair of a fight? “It's not my fault being the biggest and the strongest. I don't even exercise” "You mean you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people, is that it?”
Probably an entitled, spoiled, self-righteous, son of a fine military leader. Likely did not have to train to get into the Klingon military academy, partied all the time, and yet still rose the ranks because of nepotism.
I can honestly say that I think Garak is one of the best developed characters in Star Trek. I had a few drinks so it's bold to say the best, but in his time with the franchise his character is well plotted out, your emotional feelings about him are ambiguous, his actual acting with regards to delivery and expression are amazing, Andrew Robinson brings life to the character and even when done up in makeup and prostheses, he allows Garak to come through emotionally with his facial expressions. Not just emotionally but historically, as in the history of the character. I have loved every iteration of Star Trek that I have encountered. I love Discovery, and Michael is amazing as a character and as we see she may evolve past Garak but, until then, kudos.
The problem with discovery is it suffers from a lot of the same issues of early TNG and DS9 plus all the issues of Voyager. The writers have their heads too far up their own asses so the series suffers a lot at times. There's potential though. They just need someone capable enough to bring it out. I don't think anyone on Discovery will ever rival Garek in terms of depth and complexity, especially with how he turns out in the end as the reluctant leader his people desperately need.
Adam MacLeod Robinson was soo good as Garak! His words, voice inflection, and eyes all said different things. You didn't know what to believe! It's a shame he was typecast so much after Dirty Harry. He would have gone very far!
He doesn't, he chastises Martok about it later. It goes along the lines of this: "Tell me Worf, what have I done to earn your disrespect?" "The misdeeds your troops have committed speak for themselves. Attacking a Cardassian tailor. Detaining and searching ships in neutral space without warning or provocation. And you, executing one of your commanders because he refused to fire on a Federation ship."
I think Odo lied to spare having to swab all that pink Klingon blood off the promenade. Morn would have made it look like a crate of Pepto-Bismol exploded. It was all out of practicality really.
@@doceideer7993 Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is also an advantage Morn has in play here no one here knew about. Isn't it true the Latinum he's storing in one of his stomachs adds to his total body weight? And in such a way that trying to push or knock him around is actually quite difficult?
@@stetsonherrick8090 (I know it’s a year late, but) the majority of the weight of latinum comes from the fact it’s encased in gold. He gave Quark 100 bars worth of just the latinum (no gold) and it could fit in a martini glass.
At least in modern times, “pressing charges” is merely a customary evidentiary thing. If the prosecutor wants to indict and has the necessary evidence to do so, they can do exactly that regardless if the victim wants to pursue the matter or not.
He knew he was getting his butt beat in a 5 v 1, he knew the best strike was the first one so he gave one that would hurt. Edit: he hit all 5 at once with the first punch he threw if you think of it.

I love all of Garak's interactions with Klingons he seems to have a special liking for teasing them. Though I must admit the time he offered the two Klingon sisters silk lingerie is still my favorite :D What I find interesting though is that the "spoon" on Garak's forehead seems to be colored in a blue-tint here. I thought that was a feature/decoration exclusive to Cardassian women? Seems our plain simple Tailor is flamboyant even in Cardassian terms.
I am glad they did not make his character a homosexual. I think his character would be better off as bisexual. He is a spy. Sex may be utilized as a weapon and seduction is a well known tool used for information gathering, which is why Garak being bisexual would best fit his character.
Ahhh, upscaled HD recorded in standard quality, and I can't tell where the panning ends and the shaky hands begin xD Absolutely KINO. 👌 Mwah, chef's kiss. Love everything about this.
'Don't take than uniform off.' Isn't it a part of his body? It would've been funny if he just spontaneously shifted it into something else, though that might have been escalating the situation.
A couple of broken bones that get fully healed by Bashir a few hours later, or one of Garak’s, Ezri Dax style, put downs. I think I’d rather get smacked around by the Klingons. Far less brutal.
I can imagine the conversation between Martok and Drex when he returned...."How could you!? Antagonizing our Federation allies, dishonorable conduct, and it took 5 of you to beat up one Cardassian tailor? "Father, I was obeying your orders. I didn't know you had been replaced." "Then you are a bigger fool than I was for allowing myself to be taken! I am ashamed you are my son. Get out of my sight!"
Garak would be the least fun person to beat up. Just sarcasm and witty remarks instead of cries of pain. Bet it just takes all the fun right out of it.
@@WILEYsUnrequestedRamblings No, it's got to be either make-up that they wear for reasons we don't know, or else something like a "time of the month" signaler, because I've seen Garak with and without. Other Cardassians too, I think. Or maybe some are naturally blue all the time and wear grey concealer to hide it, or others are grey all the time and wear blue make-up sometimes? So, I guess there could be a genetic component. I think these kinds of unexplained tidbits in fiction are cool, because reality is like that. Sometimes things happen and you never get an explanation for them.
I've seen this episode numerous times and I just noticed now that Garek's forehead spoon is shaded blue while on the promenade and then unshaded when he wakes up in sickbay. Isn't blue for females? Did they make a makeup error?

They aren't. You only heard Klingon because the writers wanted the Klingons to curse. Odo was wearing a translator and understood them, and Garak knew Klingon.

Yep, let them take their guard down, then do the thing 😈
Hahaha! Insidious!
If you read the novel for this episode...Garak knew what he was doing.
"Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos!" Haha!
Irving Ferguson so, Garak dishonored them?
So I wonder when their ship will blow up, or they all die from Klingon ebola.
@@RequiemPoete Well, we do never see Drex again after the two-parter.
Definitely serious ego-damage those cutting remarks can inflict.
He later does the same to Ezri Dax; he wasn't exaggerating about the remarks he was capable of.
Andrew Robinson's Garak was brilliant. Robinson IMO never got the credit as an actor he justly deserved.
Garek's exile ended and got to go home even though its mostly destroyed
In the trek community he is very well recognized.
@@raggededge82 Loved, and his character feared

Garak doesn't wield such a blunt instrument
@@danielschick7554 i would say, he doesn't start with one.
I think Beria himself would have been humbly standing by with a notebook and a pen, taking notes!
Because of Garak's past we assume the worst but he could have literally done a 24th Century Rosetta Stone Klingon while doing tailoring alterations.
Now that I think about it, ganging up on an unarmed tailor seems very cowardly for Klingons.
Don't worry. Garak's sense of honor allows him to settle the score without it being face to face.
*snap* just like that! They won't see it coming.
That guy was literally the "boss's kid" and he acted like it, when he met a real Klingon like Worf he got exposed in seconds.
Most Klingons dont live up to the code of honor they preach.
LOL!!

I love that moment in the beginning. It's unstated, but it's clear that this cute trick of Odo's to fit in is also one of the Founders' many tools for passing as solid. Imagine Garak and "Bashir" meeting for lunch every week in the lead-in to "In Purgatory's Shadow," and this gets a lot darker.
It's also a demonstration of how the "blood screenings" the Federation used were doomed to fail from the start

Was half expecting the coffee cup to remain on the table as Odo left. Good eye for continuity.
"They must have mistaken me for someone else...." Yeah, Garak the spy. I hear the tailor and the spy are identical.
RIP René. A very sad day for us all - 12/08/2019. 😢😢😢
Just wanted Odo’s uniform to suddenly change after that threat
It would have been great if he had randomly changed it into a Klingon uniform.
Notice that garak is getting information without even contacting his informers
He is terifying
Yes, he is. A talented investigator/interrogator has no need of whips, pliers or the waterboarding equipment.
Anyone gonna comment on Garak's "actually, I'm not sure constable Odo has a mother "

Those Klingons got off lucky Morn would have destroyed them.
That's not even a joke either. The dude's a seasoned criminal who's come out on top in who knows how many fights.
InfernosReaper also I think in one episode worf says he was an excellent sparring partner too
Morn could have talked their heads off, he never shuts up.

The Klingons shout about honour all the time, wheres the honour in four guys holding someone down while another batters him. Kinda cowardly, in my book.
Earlier in the episode Worf remarks to Martok that Drex has no honor and is a coward and a liar.
Drex would be the Klingon instigator , i assume?
ya, He's Martok's son IIRC
If one enjoys being a bully then 4 guys holding somebody down while somebody batters him is a good arrangement.
Not all of them are honorable. Some of them are cowardly, some of them are greedy.

I love that angry Klingon and how he delivers his lines with so much trademark Klingon disgust 🙌😂
Harassing Morn is foolish he’s a sparring partner with Worf and an excellent one at that
Not to mention he pulled one of the greatest heists
Worf literally says it
He also never shuts up
Drex was lucky that Morn & Garak didn't feel like fighting on that day!
Its clear from these scenes that Drex has no honour since a true Klingon like Worf would fight him man to man.
Wanted Odo to turn into an oversized Klingon.

Outstanding fucking writing. DS9 is the champagne of Trek.
such intelligent writing and acting, something that we are deprived from these days :(

Dave S. nither was the Neagus son
Howyaduing true
Dave S., He must have hidden in shame after Worf whupped his ass.
Aeolwn lolz.

Sticks and stones will break my bones but words leave emotional wounds that never heals! XD garak sure is a snabby fella xD

I love this episode
Garak is such an awesome character, he's almost like Newman from Seinfeld.
I actually likened him more to Varys from Game of Thrones.
Man them Klingons packed out Garak!!!! They didn’t forget about that incident from earlier 😂

I feel like Garak could probably have killed those Klingons if he wasn't concerned about making a mess.
They must have mistaken me for someone else lolololololol
Hmmm... Garak seems rather pleased with the idea of being Odo’s lapdog 😂
Seven cutting remarks.
This mans analysis will haunt your dreams haha!

Damn, I was almost like "um actually, Odo can't understand him because..." but I really got nothing. You, sir, just broke my brain.
Yeah. Do people really think Odo and Garak were having a private conversation in English? It's possible Garak responded in Klingon.
Most likely they switch to alien languages to hide the cussing.
Lol.. The open palm punch at 3:19
Garak to Klingons: I don't know if Odo has a mother?
5 against 1, VERY honorable.
He could have had them for lunch. I guess he didn't want to blow his cover.
That klingon looks like the same actor who played the Jem hadar in the episode The Abandoned
Wolf will take care of that Klingon goober.
Garak was my favorite character, next to Spock and Kirk.
that staring off into the distance at the end of the video "They must've mistaken me for someone else" ... there's more to that story/statement.
It’s funny when the universal translator works and when it doesn’t
The cup was gone when he got up! Nice continuity
5 klingons vs 1 cardassian.
seems to be a very honorable fight.
Garak would be the least fun person to beat up. Just sarcasm and witty remarks instead of cries of pain. Bet it just takes all the fun right out of it.
TOS aside, ds9 is the greatest star trek!
4:24 Seconded
The Klingons have no honour, ganging up on one unarmed individual!
Odo wasn't _wearing_ that uniform; it was _part_ of him.
5 Klingons on 1 tailor. I wonder how many of them would have come if they were after Nog. 😂😜
I guess everyone including Klingons have a your mommy insult.
What are the odds that any of those Klingons are still alive?
Drex: Lohd Zoss-lee chaw-KU sohk jaTAL? (Does your mother let you talk to men?)
❤
Odo should of changed his uniform on the spot, just to see is the Klingon had any balls with him.
That klingon didnt fought with honor.
Only a coward fights 5 vs 1.
Pretty sure Mort could have talked his way out of it by just rambling and going on and on xD
nah, Odo just saved those klingons from getting pulverised by the most powerful being that ever existed.
IMO Garak was the best character in all the star trek shows.
Attacking someone five to one hardly seems in keeping with Klingon ideas of honor.
Scratch that; doesn't seem like Worf's idea of honor.

And now they're all dead. Garak wins.
So have we ever seen the changeling shapeshift or fight in another form?
not in the tv show.

He became a hawk once just to sort of fly around the station.
Odo knocked a couple people out once by morphing into a bunch of tentacles. I forget the title of the episode, though.
He practically became an out of control liquid monster in one episode.Nobody knows what they're REALLY dealing with when it comes to Odo.
how come the universal translators are randomly off sometimes?
They aren't. You only heard Klingon because the writers wanted the Klingons to curse. Odo was wearing a translator and understood them, and Garak knew Klingon.
