Most Notable Relationships/Friendships: Elim Garak, Miles O’Brien, Jadzia Dax & Ezri Dax

According to Ira Behr, QUOTE “Ira goes even further, and cites it as his favorite relationship in all of Star Trek; “The relationship between Bashir and O’Brien is the best relationship, the best friendship, in the history of the franchise. Spock and Kirk were still about the captain and his number one. This is a friendship with two equals, two guys. It’s a wonderful thing to watch how this relationship has grown.” End of QUOTE. courtesy of Memory Alpha.org

According to Robert Hewitt Wolfe, QUOTE “It was just great. There was just great chemistry between the two actors, great chemistry between the two characters. It was brilliant of Michael and Rick to create these two characters as foils for each other. And to then see this relationship develop over the years till they’re best friends, till Miles actually likes Bashir kind of almost better than his wife some days, which is very real, I mean there’s days that everybody, you know, it’s easier to be friends with a friend than with your wife some days.” End of QUOTE. courtesy of Memory Alpha.org

According to Ronald D. Moore, QUOTE “after the scene where they sing Jerusalem together in “Explorers“, all of the staff writers wanted to write scenes involving their friendship“. End of QUOTE. courtesy of Memory Alpha.org

According to Alexander Siddig, QUOTE “it’s been said, by even the producers, that O’Brien and Bashir are the only real friendship that’s ever happened on Star Trek. These two really are friends. It’s not like some kind of odd couple scenario, like Spock and Kirk. It’s a real friendship. These people talk about inane things, and I think that’s been really refreshing.” End of QUOTE. courtesy of Memory Alpha.org
