But if the Federation has such an agency, other powers almost have to have one too.
So would Garak and half of the members of the Federation. I’m not certain what the point is?
That Garak is as objectionable as Space Hitler yet gets welcomed with open arms.
Sorry, I deleted that post. It didn't say what I meant. My apologies.
Probably because he is a character that was far better written and acted.
She was never rehabilitated.
I’m honestly not sure why it is so awful? Garak grew up with different values than people who live on Earth and serve in Starfleet.
I'm pretty sure Sloan and his party saying they were from Internal Affairs beamed aboard DS9. The DS9 regulars would have been aware if they were transported off the station.
The “Guardian of Forever” rubber stamped that she was safe to be sent back to the 23rd century.
So did Georgiou.
One condemned the other embraced. Bizarre to me.
She did grow a little bit. More than Garak ever did.
One better written and acted than the other. That and they never tried having Garak do dumb stuff like baby talk to make him seem more like a decent person.
Probably the biggest difference between the two. They weren’t interested in rehabilitating Garak.
He's still an awful character. He should not be embraced at all!
Garak is an absolutely fascinating character study, but I wouldn't say I have "embraced' him or feel that he was in any way redeemable.

I don’t think you quite understand. Garak got embraced because he was a deep and flawed character who was brought to life by the magnificent Andrew Robinson.
Georgiou had the acting muscle, provided by the amazing Michelle Yeoh, but the character was written so poorly that she ended up as a joke.
Acting is not reason enough to enjoy a character for me if the morality questionable. Especially in Star Trek.
I simply don’t understand this. It is drama.
I would agree with that if Garak were a Federation officer.
As I said, it's a mileage will vary situation. Garak is treated too well for such a despicable character.
What I meant to say is I don't approve of the clandestine organizations and their nefarious actions. Garak used his skills deceiving Sisko and ensuring the survival of the Alpha Quadrant.
If you don't like the character, that's fine but don't blame me due to your distaste.
