Vortex

We're talking about jumpsuit padding, shapeshifter leather, and putting Siri in a runabout this week as hardened investigator and goo of the world Odo is taken in by an alien who knows nothing about anything.

Also, this Odo/Quark tension is getting palpable in the rewatch. I get it now, Quodo shippers. You are seen.

I guess my final read on Crodin is that he was doing all these criminal things for his daughter. That's good. But maybe I'm irrationally judgey over how comfortable he is with those criminal things. Committing a hold-up of strangers for a ship is reasonable, but he's really good at lying, he projects that he's comfortable with murder, and he's a really good liar. Like really good. Like Nathan Lane in The Producers telling him how good he is at lying. Am I being too harsh?

Nine Deeps of Space is a Trekalong podcast that lets you watch Deep Space Nine along with us on Netflix. It updates every other Sunday night at 10 PM CST. NDoS alternates with its partner series, The Beige and The Bold, which is about Star Trek: The Next Generation.
