Thanks for the Sig go to the talented Fainne
Spoiler:Which Supernatural character are you? (I hate those things..but sadly it fits )
You're John! You are skilled and smart, but world-weary and a little jaded. You're a serial monogamist, and you love hard. You can sometimes be a little too narrow-minded, and stubborn to a fault, but your heart is always in the right place.

You want an argument that is not fangirling? Okay then.
Garak is one of these rare characters, not only in DS9 but in television as a whole, who doesn't follow any stereotype and doesn't fulfill any expectations. He's one of these rare characters that is written to be more clever than the writers.
Not in the sense characters like Julian are more clever than the writers. Yes, Julian has a memory and knowledge, but as a human being in human situations he's stumbling like the rest of the characters.
Garak always knows the stakes, before the viewers. Sometimes it looks like before the writers. He always has his own agenda - which isn't something that can be summed up as "Cardassian traits". Martok is cool and kick-ass - but he's a Klingon, on everything that being a Klingon entails. Dukat is a Cardassian - he;s a complex, brilliant villain, but his Cardiassianess defines him and therefore you can always understand him. The humans are, well, Federation humans. They've been understood for years. Kira is brilliant and multi-dimensional and complex - but once again, she plays according to specific stereotypes and acts in a way that is very Kiraish.
Garak also acts in a way that is very much Garak - but being in character for Garak means you don't know what he's after: he'll always surprise you. He will always get his way. He's always a couple of steps ahead than everyone else.
And the amazing thing is? He works as a character. Which is even more rare. He could have easily become Wesley Crusher. That is, in fact, the material out of which Wesley Crushers are made. But instead he became something that is so much more - entertaining and intriguing and most important, believable. Which is why he's a joy to watch.
Enough unfangirlishly for you?Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Yes, I am!
