That said, "Afterimage" did have some delightful Garak lines in it. Too bad the ending took them all back...
"Spare me your insipid psychobabble. I'm not some quivering neurotic who feels sorry for himself because his daddy wasn't nice. You couldn't begin to understand me!"
"I want someone to help me get back to work. And you, my dear, are not up to this task. I mean, look at you. You’re pathetic – a confused child trying to live up to a legacy left by her predecessors. You're not worthy of the name "Dax." I knew Jadzia. She was vital, alive. She owned herself, and you... you don’t even know who you are. How dare you presume to help me? You can't even help yourself. Now, get out of here before I say something unkind."
