The second episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine aired for the first time thirty years ago, on January 11th 1993. This episode is the first that everybody, and especially one Julian Bashir, are introduced to the character of Garak.
Which is, of course, not significant for any reason at all. Just like Garak himself. Plain, ordinary, nothing of note whatsoever. What could be less threatening than a mere tailor, who no fault of his own is now accused of tax evasion? Banish the thought. So many thoughts, all deserving of banishment, unlike our simple and naive protagonist Garak.
