wait speaking of tng and ds9 characters who should meet. I think garak and data would be SUCH a funny pair. like. garak has obviously heard julian speak at length about how kind and handsome and technologically miraculous data is so he’s like oh okay new arch-nemesis just dropped.
but then he actually meets data and data just. does not fall for any of his catty baiting statements, innuendos, or double entendres? he just responds genuinely when garak pointedly asks how tight data wants the collar of his uniform. garak is flummoxed like he’s never been before by this completely guileless extremely polite android.
