This series of posts is just pointing out things I've never noticed on any previous watch through. Case in point: I've seen this scene many times and always took it as Garak being like "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.". Finally dawned on me this time around that he was just getting rid of evidence.

¿Por qué no los dos?

He used it for common variety gardening. Not murder.

Since you are obviously a being of culture, let me recommend 'A stitch in time' if you haven't read it.

It was written and read (as audiobook) by Andrew Robinson, the man who played Garak.

The audiobook especially is wonderful if you are a Garak aficionado.

I bought it (ebook) and read it last year. It was my gateway drug into the TrekLit universe :)

I have not read many other Trek books, any I should get my hands on?

I did a post a while back asking for recommendations, so I'll link that since there's some good ones: https://startrek.website/post/28030285

My favorites of what I've read so far:

• A Stitch in Time
• Deep Space Nine: Millennium (trilogy)
• Star Trek: Destiny (Trilogy)
• Cold Equations (Trilogy)

I've read 4 out of the 5 Star Trek: Picard tie-in novels, and they're all excellent (though the Riker one is the weakest but not bad).

• The Last Best Hope: Prequel to Picard S1 and fills in so many blanks that were missing in the show. Picard and Raffi are the main focus.
• Second Self: Set between PIC S1 and S2, features Raffi as the main character.
• Firewall: Set before PIC S1 with flashbacks to shortly after Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant. Seven of Nine is the main character.
• The Dark Veil: Set After before PIC S1, features Riker and the Titan.

Honorable Mentions:

• Q-Squared: If you like Q and Trelane antics
• Q-in-Law: I'm struggling to get through the first few chapters of this one, but it was recommended so I'm going to power through lol. (Update: Got through to chapter 6 last night and it's finally picking up speed.)
