Just a quick (heh) review

[ladydrace]

This time I'm babbling about Doctor Bashir. I Presume?

Doctor Bashir, I Presume?:
Rom. I swear, that dude makes me want to go aaaaaaawwwwwwww completely uncontrollably! And in combination with Leeta, somehow it gets so cute it's unbearable. Rom running away like that makes me think of that kid from South Park who pukes on the girl he likes.
"I have brains!" Sorry Leety honey, I'll have to agree with Quark on this one. Even if you had brains (which I doubt) people would have a very hard time seeing past your main assets... because they're just so... THERE! Gawd...
But at least she knows when she's being insulted. Good thing Quark is her employer, or he may just have had a much too close encounter with a fork...
Have I told you lately how much I love O'Brien? Telling Bashir he'd make a great father. Awwwwww.
Lewis Zimmerman! Hehehehehe! Makes me want to watch Voyager. I might have to once we're through DS9 and I've managed to settle some of the many bunnies loitering about in my WIP folder.
Hehe, he's so smug. And Bashir is so modest! But damn Zimmerman can talk anyone's head off!
Oh! Notice Bashir's hair in this episode! He's got that Superman curl thingy going on.
"If this thing works, you'll be able to annoy hundreds of people you've never even met!" Yay O'Brien! Manly banter. :o)
Back at Leeta's brains. Even Zimmerman seems rather taken by them. But then again, he's quite the horn dog. Apparently he weeded that particular trait out of the EMH before it was put to use.
Doctor Bashir... *facepalm* You really need more lessons from Garak about how to be subtle! Of course Zimmerman is going to dig exactly where you DON'T want to!
LOL for the prissy EMH! "Archaic?!" D'aaaawww.... poor EMH.
Ok, the LMH is freaking me out with staring at Bashir like that.
Interviews! OMG!!! SOOOOOO FUNNY!!! (But where the hell is Garak???? Come on! He even interviews Morn!!!)
Aw, Miles. We all know you love him. It's no secret, you know.
Rom... *sigh* So sweet and awkward. I can even forgive him the annoying 'duuuuh' when he gives me the warm and fuzzies like that. But aaawww. So excruciatingly awkward. Phew. Almost too much to handle.
Julian's parents! Yeikes! "oh..... my god." You said it Julian.
Richard Bashir! Damn he's so... British! Maybe it's cockney or something. Rather more heavy in the accent than I would have thought.
Oh poooooor Julian. So uncomfortable. I squirm right along with him. As parents go, these are especially embarrasing.
Dax... sometimes you have a much too thick skull. You must be aware that Julian hates the whole situation. You've spent too much time with Klingons and Ferengi. Stop asking for embarrassing stories already! Jeez!
O'Brien making the LMH walk into the doorframe over and over. *snicker* So juvenile, but SO funny!
Leeta... *facepalm* You're not exactly aiding your quest for recognition for you skill rather than your looks, when you parade your bare naked 'virtues' in people's faces like that.
Oh man. Tension at the Bashir dinner table. And damn, Richard is not likeable at all. Actually, he's really making my skin crawl. But I must say they did a good job of portraying a really complicated relationship between a father and son.
Oh poor Julian. *hugs him*
Damn Rom, you need to learn how to take hints. And I'm not talking about Leeta's big 'brains' here...
Ok, the whole scene of the 'spilling the secret' is just a little too obvious. *sigh* But I guess there wasn't time in the episode to make Zimmerman work for his answers.
Livid Julian. Ooooh. Somehow I love it when he booms with anger like that.
O'Brien... "Do you know what will happen..." jeez, after hearing how they've kept it a secret for 25 years, you assume he doesn't know the consequenses??? *Bonks Miles on the head*
Freak, Monster... Aaawww... *hugs Bashir again*
*Keeps hugging him through his whole story* Loving the hints of kiddie Jules, but oh, such a sad story.
And where the hell is Garak!! He's so incredibly absent in this episode! GAH!!!
Rom's Wife. Poor Rom. But nice hearing a little more background story. Damn Quark, stop it with the Vulcan Love Slaves already!!
"Jules Bashir died in that hospital, because you couldn't live witht the shame of having a son, who didn't measure up!!" Gawd, so much emotion. It makes me shiver just from watching it.
Sweet Mother Bashir. So worried like all mums. I wonder how she could fall for someone like Richard. He doesn't deserve her, that's for sure.
Nice seeing Richard taking a bit of responsibility. FInally. Good of the Admiral to let Bashir stay in Starfleet. Not many flexible Admirals in Star Trek.
Airlock goodbies. Aw.
"Do you hear something?" ROFL!!!
Rommmm.... d'aaawwwwwwwww........ *melts so a little puddle of goo over the cuteness* Good thing Zimmerman is a man guided by his lust. Kama sutra... jeez.... and we thought Bashir was horrible at flirting!
Chief O'Brien! LOL! Took you a while to catch on. Blindfold. Hehe.

Awesome episode!!! (Despite the horrible lack of Garak...)

Ahhh, but you can mentally insert garak in in all sorts of sweet Hurt/comfort ways

Note to self: Get some G/B icons

Feel free to grab some of mine if you like. I make all my own icons. No need to credit. :o)

Great review! I get so frustrated, too, at the lack of Garak in a lot of these eps where the story just cries out for him. I guess it's cause they wanted to downplay the Bashir - Garak relationship in favor of Bashir - O'Brien, or maybe they just didn't want to pay for a guest shot where it wasn't absolutely necessary. I wish Andy had been part of the regular cast, not a guest; maybe then they would have used him more. However, if you've got room for another bunny on your plate, this ep would be a great starting point.

Trust me, for this episode, I'll damn well MAKE room for a bunny more!

I love this episode but it seriously lacked Garak! There were so many oppurtunities to just put him in there =\

I love the interviews, they are hilarious!

"You're not being very helpful!"
*Morn shrugs*

LOL!

They must have not just because this would so serve to make them closer and really, by then, most people would not have believed it was strictly 'friendship', and moved to more B/O'B, which had a very slash moment in 7th season ("I like you more!")

And then when Garak mentions the enhancements, its to basically to be bitter and almost belittling. D:

I have my own bunny to reinterpret the genetic enhancement thing, but I don't think I have the writing skills for it. For one thing, it would probably be very long, spanding from pre-show to post-show, and involve just all kinds of things like just how the Bashir's managed to pay for the enhancements when they seem to be 'working class' and would seem to be out of their price range for something so drastic, or how he managed to stay in Starfleet seemingly on only one admiral's support so quickly without any consultation or objection from Command or the Federation Council. (convenience says 'plot holes!', brain saids, 'conspiracy!')

But again, not the skill or time. T_T If you want, you are free to adopt said bunny. Poor thing is getting a little lonely.

Damn, I don't think I can squeeze in an epic bunny like that. Besides, with all the amazing fics already written around this episode, it would take a bunny of the ages to come up with something really new and interesting.
