Not an In Between Kind of Guy

I've always thought the friendship between Miles O'Brien and Julian Bashir was great. But it wasn't always that way. Initially, O'Brien hated Bashir, but the two kept ending up together and finally, in "Armageddon Game" (2x13), faced death together (which, according to Bashir, creates an unbreakable bond between two people).

In "Explorers" (3x22), Bashir gets anxious about meeting the woman who beat him and ranked top of the class at medical school (though I say he threw the final test to help hide his genetic status). Shortly after she arrives on the station, he sees her at Quark's walking toward him. So he stands up and smiles, and she walks right past him. He gets a little depressed and then he and O'Brien go get wasted and try to "rationalize" what happened. What happens next is just a fun scene between the two.

"And that is from the heart! I really do... not hate you anymore." Haha.
