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.
I cannot over-emphasize the degree to which ive been preparing my entire life for this moment @jone-slugger
DS9 didn’t have to go this hard with a brilliant illustration of traumatic grief in the first episode
do you think after children of time, when the dust settled, odo kept going back to the other odo’s memories of what happened?
do you think he replayed the memory of nerys holding his hands, of her kissing him, over and over in his mind, thinking of this memory that feels like it should be his own but belonged to someone else?
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.
This is maybe the funniest DS9 meme I've come across and I'd love to be proven wrong
doodling in a more cartoony style hrmmm. yuppp Wahoo
garak episodes are so fucking funny whats this guys problem
