Sulu winks at the Fourth Wall

Sulu winking

Winking was a facial expression made by closing one eye, often as a sign of signaling shared hidden knowledge or intention.

In 2372, on a mission to save Gul Dukat and the newly formed Cardassian government, the Detapa Council from the Klingon Empire, Captain Benjamin Sisko had the USS Defiant engage the cloaking device. Doctor Julian Bashir then reminded Sisko of the agreement the United Federation of Planets had with the Romulan Star Empire regarding the use of the cloaking device which strictly forbids using it in the Alpha Quadrant. Sisko was aware of this, but also knew there are probably countless Klingon ships between them and Dukat, and he intended to make it to the rendezvous in one piece. In response, Bashir tells Sisko he will not say anything if he doesn't, to which Sisko replies with a subtle wink. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")

In 2374, Quark had a conversation with Julian Bashir about what Jadzia Dax did, for instance, "sometimes she walks past the Infirmary and all she has to do is wink and somehow that makes my whole day look a little brighter." (DS9: "Change of Heart")
