They’re in a TNG episode. The symbiote controls the host in that episode too. It isn’t a blending.

It’s television. Things can happen. Trills didn’t originally have spots either. They just changed it.

So let’s imagine a DS9 sequel series or TV movie is green lit and you’re the producer. Does Jadzia come back? If so how? Or does Terry Farrell come back in some other way? Or is she not in it at all?

I looked up Dr Emerson and you really can see the family resemblance. Mad Men was a fantastic show.

Who Gandolfi’s son or Rene’s son?

You’re right!

If it weren’t for tuvok and the doctor I don’t think I could have finished that series. It’s the only trek I’ve never really rewatched too. Not counting the modern shows.

I want CBS to, on hands and knees, beg RDM to fix Trek now. Oh I’d squeal like a 60s girl at a Beatles concert.

That didn’t work out so well with Tony soprano in the HBO movie though.

Yeah, that’s a really good solution. There would have to be something that gives the audience a clue that we’re dealing with the same character I think so the actors would have to really collaborate on their collective characters. That’s really a great idea.

That’s possible. Rene gave odo a real presence though. I don’t know how well another actor would mimic it. They could always do something like interstellar. That character who was left on the ship by himself for all those years was markedly different from the character before they left for the water planet.

I remember that. He came out of the wormhole, making a warning, and his ship exploded if I remember right.

Very true. All Good Things is in my opinion better than all the TNG movies.

Voyager had consistently mediocre writing. I, somewhat cynically, always thought the reason moore did Battlestar was to show everyone what Voyager could have been.

Nog I think is the easiest recast. It could be explained just that the character aged. Odo would be harder. He could be a CGI character with a voice actor but that doesn’t sound good. It could be a plot point that both characters are killed prior to the beginning of the story and the story involves resolving the mystery of what happened and why.

All and all I think it’s unlikely we’ll see any kind of continuation of DS9, which is unfortunate because it’s my favorite series.

Personally I’d be okay recasting the role. I’d totally buy that his experiences with the founders could change him physically.

Wouldn’t that be fantastic? I doubt Brooks would want to be involved though.
