ok but really. all garak episodes range from & #39;good& #39; to & #39;amazing showstopping spectacular& #39;

past prologue: good, a bit of a mess but the garashir interactions are pure gold
cardassians: the moral conflict, the garak-dukat mutual hatred, the lore
profit and loss: garak& #39;s okayest episode. quark love story with a cardassian political dissident

the wire: backstory, characterization, gay, simply iconic
the search pt 2: he& #39;s not actually there but it& #39;s still garashir bc simulated garak dies in bashir& #39;s arms
second skin: cardassia, political dissidents again, gold kira content, and of course nobody here but us koberians

civil defense: a fun for the whole cast and a fine selection of excellent interactions and a personal favorite
distant voices: yet another insight into bashir& #39;s view of garak
improbable cause/the die is cast: more backstory, garak development, odo friendship, garashir

i realized this thread serves no point but it would be a pity to erase everything i& #39;ve already typed out
