Before Garak, I don’t think there was ever another character for whom I thought things like
“I love the way he moves his head!”
Or
“That thing he does with his eyes, you know??”
YEAH!!
There are of course many more remarkable scenes of his showing off Robinson’s physical acting chops but I remember seeing this scene and just being fucking. Enthralled watching him move his head and make expressions. Like it was absolutely riveting
I wanted to re-post this so I could keep it in my account - I caught this hug in my own video at the Las Vegas con in 2015 but I love this closeup of Andy’s surprised and pleased reaction. This was at the very beginning of the panel, right after they sat down, and it just happened out of the blue!
Anyone who has wanted to read Andrew Robinson’s Garak novel “"A Stitch in Time” but couldn’t get a copy, Simon and Schuster is offering it as an ebook for .99 cents this month.
[ID - A scan of two paragraphs from a printed article. Text reads:
“One of [Andrew] Robinson’s greatest pleasures on DEEP SPACE NINE, he says, has been working with Siddig El Fadil, who plays Dr. Bashir. ‘Siddig and I get along so well, and we have become very good friends from this show. The chemistry works out beautifully, where you have this older, reptilian mystery man who isn’t what he seems to be, and this young innocent. It’s easy to see what Bashir’s getting from Garak: a political education. He’s learning about the byzantine, labyrinthine subtleties and intricacies that go on in the station.
‘It’s less clear, but equally strong, to see what Garak is getting from Bashir,’ he continues. ‘Bashir is a very decent person, a very moral man, a responsible scientist with a soul. I think Garak is learning some of this, becoming socialized. I don’t mean “humanized,” because that would be a “specist” [sic] thing to say. He’s gaining a certain sense of compassion, a certain morality and that’s very touching–that’s what I love about the relationship.’“
Oscar Isaac needs to team up with Andrew Robinson to form The Cross-Franchise Alliance For Actors Who Played Their Characters As Gay As Humanly Possible To Piss Off The Cowardly Execs Who Wouldn’t Let Them Make It Canon.
the sheer vindication of having andy robinson say, without any condition or caveat, how it’s “absolutely clear” that garak wanted to have sex with bashir. it’s how you say… karma. healing. transformative justice. he really said yes, that is what you saw, with the added implication of “get well soon, heterosexuals”
