Oh I forgot to talk about Garak! I really like how expressive he is, something about him reminds me a lot of Robin Williams. The bit where he tells Bashir to buy a suit at precisely 2055 and Bashir just totally doesn't get it... I'm hoping the doctor grows on me but he's probably my least favorite so far ha.
Garak is arguably my favorite character in all of Trek, especially after reading "A Stitch in Time" which fleshes out his background considerably.
I don't think this is much of a spoiler but >!Garak basically becomes a regular without Andrew J. Robinson's name appearing in the opening credits. I don't have exact numbers but it feels like he appears in later seasons as much as Jake does!<.
Bashir definitely gets better. There are a few episodes that recontextualize his character and each one makes him come across much better. He also just grows a lot.
On my first rewatch now and I can say that season one Bashir threw me for a loop because of just how obnoxious he is!! His interactions with any female character, or O'Brien.... I guess I forget that the writers had to lay the bedrock of an annoying character in order to cover his later transition into a character we were excited about 🤣
