your favorite characters will get put in situations where they're literally teetering off the edge of a precipice. a few characters will fall off and for the ones who don't they lose something in themselves. you will definitely get emotional in some episodes.
good call. garak is another one of my fav characters. him, quark and odo, are the most verbally skilled characters in the show. when it's time for jokes these cats will straight clown you.
btw, what do y'all think of avery brook's acting? i've discussed ds9 with a few people and a common complaint is that avery brooks over does it in some scenes. does this viewpoint have any merit to it?
