you just don't get shit like this with 8-episode streaming seasons

That ridiculous secret agent program

Finally finished. Tried to go for an old illustrated movie poster feel, but got fed up with it eventually.

Julian Being Pushed Against Walls Masterpost

A ds9 episode where every shot pays way too much attention to random set pieces in a manner that heavily implies it may be Odo while the action happens in the background. Odo does not appear or feature in the plot of the episode at all.

"Odo's Day": Odo uses his shapeshifting abilities to investigate a crime. The episode is entirely shot from his pov. Rene Auberjonois is on holiday.

There should have been an episode where Odo gets zapped while shifted into an object and the zap does something to his morphogenic matrix so he's stuck like that and the whole episode is everyone doing their best acting scenes with a mug or perhaps a bag

bonus if the station crew know it's happened, but don't know *which* suspicious object Odo is stuck as. So they're going round talking to whatever object seems out of place trying to find him.

By the end of the epsiode they deduce he's this one odo ass looking bottle at Quarks Bar (because of course he's there) and bring it to the infirmary. You get a scene of Bashir and Dax leaning over this bottle lain delicately on a regular sized bed in the infirmary with tricorders debating how to turn Odo back.

And then Odo walks in and asks what they're doing.

I prefer to imagine Jadzia not as someone who ‘by nature’ goes along with everyone but rather as someone who knows how to not let her personal opinions get in the way of a friendship, because she understand the value of forming close relationships with a wide variety of people. I think this says a lot about the level of conscious effort Jadzia puts into being with others, which comes up especially early on in the show when Benjamin and her were still readjusting to each other, but also the way she purposefully gets close to Kira even though in early season 1 Kira wasn't exactly easy to win over, especially for a Starfleet officer. Jadzia, I think, also alludes to her conscious choice to stick with people when talking to Julian in “Starship Down” about how his blatant crush on her made being close to him not exactly simple, and yet their friendship meant something to her and she stuck with it anyway. I find this somewhat more realistic than just a ‘natural’ predisposition towards people and network-building; rather, it's a skill, one Jadzia is incredibly proficient in, and imho a very admirable one. Which makes it even funnier when that skill reaches its limits and Jadzia gets snippy (ie her opinions get the better of her) or doesn't realize that the context she's in requires a different approach to the one that usually works for her (like in “The Ship”).

It’s just that I fell in love with a war

And nobody told me it ended

DID YOU KNOW the deep space nine writers tried to make a kira/dukat romance arc and the only reason we did not have to endure that is because nana visitor heroically put a stop to it by yelling at the producers. everyone say thank you nana visitor
