STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION // S7E21 Firstborn You have given me a glimpse into my son's future and I know now that he has his own destiny. And I believe it will be a great one.
According to ‘Terok Nor: Night of Wolves’, while Odo’s first words were repeating Dr. Mora’s sentences (“My name is Mora”), the first sentence he came up with on his own (like, independently constructed) was “Men don’t make good scientists”, which he picked up from Dr. Mora’s Cardassian supervisor, Dr. Yopal.
I love how Star Trek will have the most heartbreaking dialogue over the worst CGI you've ever seen, like a real tv show should
My favorite thing about Body Parts (s4e24) is that Garak was obviously never going to kill Quark. He just decides to spend an afternoon in the holosuites demonstrating his terrifying skills for kicks. Then he solemnly promises Quark that he will definitely kill him very soon –
And you never see him again in that episode. He just goes to the Replimat and orders a spice pudding and eats it while reading poetry or something.
If I was a race of goo people bent on controlling the galaxy I too would clone a race of evil little advisors to strut around gayly and be annoying
Rewatching ds9 means understanding that Odo and Julian are two sides of the same coin. Of freaks. What you mean you two are chasing the two most infamous criminals of the station. Aren't YOU the chief of security and YOU the chief of the medical staff?
Also neither of them want to change Garak or Quark to be better. Like Odo isn't all "I know you can be better and be rehabilitated into society" NO he LIKES to chase and stalk Quark around the station. And Julian isn't better. He is like "omg you were a spy?? And you are exiled??" *twirls his hair* "Have you heard about James Bond?? In fact a have this holo program..."
Freaks the both of them that's why they are my favorites
Edit: as a lot of you pointed out YES they both have madical trauma and father issues and they have been experimented on. We should look into this like what are the odds.
Based on Cardassian views on the medical profession (female dominated) and arguing (whore behavior), I think Dukat should have been scandalized to have an alien twink doctor get snippy with him in order to get a blood screening from him.
"And I find you offensive." Okay, here's my arm, man. Whatever you say, beautiful. But I have a wife.
Another thing that occurs to me about Odo, Re: his "inability" to do faces, is that if *I* were a detective who could make myself look like anyone, I might not want that fact to be generally known. And if I were a changeling who resented having to pretend to be humanoid in order to operate in their society, I might do some subtle thing in order to set myself off from them; remind them that I'm not like them.
Anyways, Odo can do faces.
