If Garak/Bashir is canon, so is Trip/T'Pol, Tom Paris/Kes and Jadzia Dax/Julian Bashir.
When exactly did Jadzia Dax reject Julian Bashir (since her first words to him here definitely not rejection)? Also, first interaction between Bashir
- Thread starter BohandiAnsoid
- Start date
That too.
Are you perhaps not catching the intended tone of my post?
Are we talking about another timeline or something?
How is is it not canon? Did we not see it in a Paramount production?
All I ask is that you are consistent.
Canon is not required to be consistent.
What I mean is, either consider all couples that are together in alternate timelines canon or none of them.
Why would any be excluded?
I heard some people not liking the ideas of some couples that are only Canon in Alternate timeline and saying that, if they are nor prime timeline they are nor canon. I cannot remember where.
That makes no sense.
Canon is essentially anything shown onscreen. If a couple from an alternate timeline is shown on screen, they're canon, they're just not from the Primeline.
It's canon per "Fissure Quest" that there's a HoloBashir and a Doctor Garak from alternate timelines who are a married couple. They're not from the Primeline, but that doesn't mean they're not canon.
Whether this implies anything about Primelline Bashir and Garak is a matter of viewer interpretation.
Well, I personally agree with you.
My head canon for the actual pair was that Garak was definitely interested in Bashir, but Bashir's romantic preference was exclusively for women. Having a crush on someone who has exactly zero romantic feelings for you is a pretty normal experience.
Though I will say that the podcast done by Alexander Siddig and Andrew Robinson provided a convincing explanation of why that was different later on.

Well, if your headcanon is true, that would make an interesting chain of one,sided feelings. Ziyal on Garak, Garak on Bashir, Bashir on Jadzia.
Indeed. And why not? As I said, wanting what you can't have is part of life. As is dealing with the feelings that result. Garak handles it well, while Bashir has some trouble taking the hint. Luckily, Jadzia was a horny young man several times, so she's mainly just amused.
I think her reaction to his fantasy version of her in season 1 said it all. I'd never be able to speak to her again after that
And Bashir didn't went that far as some Vulcan men in Star Trek.
But itmakesme wonder, what would happen if Bashir was more like Season 7 Bashir when he met Jadzia and/or "did notcome that strong".

Ezri to Julian in Afterimage:
"You can be very charming. You want to know something? If Worf hadn't come along, it would have been you."
Assuming she was telling the truth of course.
Even if true, it wasn't really a nice thing to say. Especially pre - Lower Decks finale, before regular multiverse travel became possible.
