    Andrew Robinson said he played Garak as omnisexual and attracted to Bashir. Alexander Siddig has described himself as “not quite straight” and both have played the roles unofficially as there being a relationship.

    We see a tiny fraction of the characters’ lives. A portion of a 45-minute episode. For all we know, they walked hand-in-hand down the promenade every day for months as everyone commented on what a cute couple they made. We just never saw it on screen.

    And I think the choices of the actors matter.

    This is where Garak and Bashir first meet. You watch this and tell me it isn’t a meet cute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTeJKg8Yf4A
