Sneaky pete thought we didn't see that but we did and I saw someone else put it on Youtube.

I'm sure this and cursing is common now in "Edgy" trek but 90s trek (let alone OG trek) didn't do vulgarity.

Actor's stage name is Alexander Siddig (He was also in Gotham, 24 and Game of Thrones) but his real name is Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abdurrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdul Karim El Mahdi.

Wow. Imagine trying to fit that into an application form.

He was phenomenal in DS9

Bashir was such a bad character in the pilot and the actor (Plus the writers obviously) turned that round into being one of if not the best character in the show.

Surprised the guy hasn't done more, he's a really solid actor.

His character just wasn't that interesting.

I caught it the first time I watched it on DVD because I'd already seen every episode several times by that point. I love looking for things in the background or "on the edges" of where the veiwer is expected to be focused.

It would be funny as hell if he did it on purpose, but I think it was just the way he slid his hand/fingers on the table top. It would be great if Siddig comfirmed it one way or another.

One thing all the Star Trek series did was find amazing actors. Off the top of my head, Denise Crosby is about the only one I could never stand. And yes, as annoying as Wesley Crusher could be, I like Wil Wheaton. I mean come on, he was awesome in Stand By Me. (Speaking of great casts . . .)

I feel like the sneaky middle finger in Trek happened before, but I can't remember when it happened, if I'm not just wrong. Always liked him on DS9. Never watched Gotham, but I've seen a couple of the scenes of him in it and he's almost perfect for Ra's al Ghul. Wish he could play him again in a different show/movie.

Well putting aside he wasn't even there half the time he was just dull, whiny and unintelligent

Guy felt like a walking plot device and he was the worst part about his own episodes (Nog, Bashir when they went to that Skirmish)

Hell arguably the best Jake episode was the one were they got Tony Todd to play him

He wasn't the greatest character for sure, but I never had an issue with him. For me, I never cared much for Jadzia for some reason. Could be different on a rewatch though. It's been a long while.

Judging by the TNG movies, it most likely wouldn't have been great. Even First Contact had issues.

DS9 was such a great show. Everyone was great in it, main cast and supporting characters too.

The TNG films, as a rule, were deep up their own asses. First Contact at least was a fun movie.

My favorite episode with Jake is either Red Squad, or the episode where he's on the front lines of combat.

Same. Everyone always says The Visitor is the best Jake episode. And while it is a good one (and Tony Todd is awesome as always), those two about the horror of war are just fantastic. Lofton is great in both.

That's my favorite Jake episode too

Although as I said I think Bashir and the side cast still manage to outshine him in his own episode.

Oh yeah, it's a fantastic episode. The guy that tried to get out of the front lines by faking an injury was very powerful.

Not only that, but they wrote her pregnancy into the show. They came back for a new season and had Keiko sustain an injury so the child was in danger. Since there was no other option as it was just the 3 of them, Bashir moved Keiko's baby into Kira. Later on when Kira is having difficulties, she turns to Bashir and says "this is your fault, you know" which it both is in universe and real life.

"That was Keiko!"

Oh, I know (wasnt it a shuttle accident or something?). I always found that line very funny given the real life circumstances.
