No offense to Stamets and Culber, but the award for best gay couple in Star Trek definitely goes to Bashir and Garak.

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

@[email protected] for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

One problem with popular side characters is that they often get ruined when the writers notice the popularity and make them appear more and more.
Sometimes the scarcity of something is part of the appeal. This also goes for popular adversaries.
This also goes for popular adversaries.
Especially if they keep getting defeated, which makes them less threatening each time they show up. Looking at you, Borg in VOY. Farscape's writers came up with Harvey specifically so they could have Scorpius make frequent appearances without diminishing his threat level.
That’s why I like Q. Dude just randomly shows up, but never gets defeated.
It also helps that while Q is always a problem, he's rarely an actual antagonist.
Yeah, the sweet spot is when people start obsessing over them in syndication after the series has wrapped up.
Morn
I'm not a fan of Morn, he monopolizes any screentime he gets with those ridiculous monologues.
Why would anyone be interested in an ordinary tailor?
And such a plain, simple one.
Live, laugh, love, Garak...
Ok, now that the ugly argument is over, I think there's one fan favorite side character we must honor above all. Especially for his lovely singing voice.
More Dabo Girls, please.
In DS9 the less human like the character is the more interesting they tend to be.
A person of culture, I see.
loving a supporting character is something but wait to experience second lead syndrome. That's another level of pain.
