Sun, 16 August 2009 The Gamma Quadrant explores Odo's soft side, which was brought out by an emo convict with 70's hair. This oddball episode includes twins with unfortunate costumes, the series' first space battle, and Odo's close call with adopting a teenage girl. Comments[5] |
Hey guys, good podcast as usual. I wanted to mention something you will find amusing. My wife and I are at the tail end of watching the entire Star Trek franchise on DVD. We're currently at the end of Enterprise season 2. Last week, we watched the first episode with Suzie Plakson as the Andorian Tarah, immediately after having listened to your show about meeting her. This week we watched an episode called "Canamar", in which the Miradorn costumes you all loved so much on DS9 are re-used for the Enolian race! Just thought you might find that interesting.
What's funny is that in later episodes, Odo also nearly adopts a baby changeling and a baby Jem'Hadar. Imagine if he had been successful every time. That would be quite a family.
As for Odo breaking into pieces, if he really does occupy 4-dimensional space, then that's just an illusion. Image a table descending slowly into a 2D world. At first, the flatland inhabitants would perceive the legs as four separate circles. Then they would see it as a much larger single rectangle when the tabletop reached their world. A flatlander might even try to split the table in half with a 2D sword. To him, it would look as he had split it in half, but the table wouldn't even feel the cut (since the cut was infinitely thin). Odo could appear to shatter into a thousand pieces, but he'd still be completely intact in the 4th dimension.
