Especially the political assassinations.
Sisko: Who’s watching Tolar?
Garak: I’ve locked him in his quarters.
Garak: I’ve also left him with the distinct impression that if he attempts to force the door open, it may explode.
Sisko: I hope that’s just an impression.
Garak: it’s best not to dwell on such minutiae.
“Oh c’mon. It’s not like that. I just wanna talk. We can talk about anything. The internet, attractive females, the matrix, the political assassination of your favorite celebrity. Anything.”
Utter genius. I can see Garak saying this in Lower Decks far too perfectly.
Could you imagine the glory that would be a Garak vs. Boimler episode?
Must have.
This is definitely one of the best things I never knew I wanted
God I love Garak episodes
Assassinations are always political. That’s what makes it an assassination and not just murder.
That’s actually a misnomer but an understandable one. Assassinations can be carried out for a variety of reasons. Religious reasons are an example. But yeah, Political stuff usually far outweighs the other potential reasons.
That’s still political, it’s just religious politics. Otherwise if it was a sacrifice or something like that it would have another word, like sacrifice.
You could argue that, yeah, but the definitions of Assassination are still pretty clear. It’s not specific to political motives. Merriam-Websters dictionary defines it as:
murder by sudden or secret attack often for political reasons
And the Oxford English Dictionary has it as:
the murder of an important or famous person, especially for political reasons
Most other definitions follow the same vein. Thats what I meant by it being an understandable misunderstanding. Both definitions use political reasons in it but both also say it’s just most commonly used for.
Dios mio, el presidente ha sido asesinado!
You could assassinate someone for personal reasons too. Like, if you’re a professional athlete, and they’re ranked above you
I don’t like your tone. I’ll pay the change in my pocket to whoever brings me the head of Infynis.
What about the change in both of your pockets, hooman?
Woah slow down there buddy. Who do you think you are? Agent 47?
Only on October 31st and days that end in y.
Wasn’t killing the Romulan senator though more motivated by survival than politics, at least in Garak’s mind?
But then again I don’t know if anyone can really know what’s in Garak’s mind.
He loves his job.
Just a simple tailor my good doctor
Someone who takes pride in his work.
Should have made the cartoon character bald
Fuck. You’re right.
I’d call that a bargain
One Starfleet officer’s conscience
Don’t really know the context but still made me chuckle, good meme!
I’ve seen this meme 1000 times and I upvote it every single time.
An effective strategy though!
