    Bashir was noticeably nervous in “Past Prologue”, their first meeting. It’s interesting that fans ignore that, or chalk it up to him being nervous because Garak might be a spy, as opposed to accusing the actors and writers of extracting humour out of the “gay panic” trope. I guess it’s because now people know theirs turned into a real friendship (or even more. ;-) ) Although I suspect if “Past Prologue” had aired today, there’d be a lot more outrage.
