Star Trek DS9 Episode 42 - The Wire

"In order to save Garak's life, Bashir must unravel some of the secrets in the Cardassian's past."

Bashir and garek are inner city cops in Baltimore…or whatever, i have never actually watched an episode of  The Wire, which i assume it sucks because everyone likes it. This was a decent episode and it explains why Deep Space Nine has such poor lighting. Like its all dark and than random neon lights are randomly placed up around the place like its what someone from the 80s would think a dance club would look like in the year 2000. Its because Kardashians built it to be low light (i guess they don't like bright light?? Garek complains it) so the federation just put up lights where ever they could find room.     

Whatever…Bashir and Garek are friends but don't seem to like each other and Garek has a headache (Bashir mentions he looks clammy though Karadashians always look terrible ). it turns out he had a pleasure circuit placed in his brain which he kept running for a long time because he was depressed. He had a boner 24-7. They can't seem to remove the circuit from his brain…though why not just teleport him but not teleport the circuit in his brain? seems like that would work for every medical problem.

How do tailors even work in the future when you can download your clothes?? On a station with only a few hundred people and everyone wears the same clothes every day.

Bashir is mentioned once again as being a "ladies man" even though he seems like a dork. He is genetically modified which gives him perfect hair which never gets messed up. It was a good episode, i liked that  Garek gave him like 3 different versions of his exile none of which was true. I'm still not sold on the Bashir character, but I'm starting to like Garak ... he seems like a mental patient.

42 down and 134 to go
