I prefer watching Rivals, but some episodes have barely any importance
C tier for me. It's good, but not great. You learn a little more about Odo and Dr Mora, but the whole scooby doo mystery creature of the week is what kills it for me.
I’m toggling between a B and a C. It advances odo’s story and it’s a serviceable story. But something about it doesn’t quite rise to a B. B- or C+
It's ok, a character development episode. it adds to the Odo lore, just a comfy episode to have in the background.
Gentlemen, PC's didn't even have Pentiums in 1994, most people had 386 SX and some had 486 DX, so special effects were expensive, since Odo's shape shifting was inspired by Terminator 2, but those effects were NOT cheap. Today, most people can do these with home computers.
I like the beginning and the development of Dr. Mora, but then the end is just too hoaky for me and I loose interest.
Yup, I gave it a B because there is a lot to like and I really think meeting the scientist who studied Odo is a great idea. But the ending with the weird Odo monster just goes off the rails too far for me to score it any higher.
Clueless, Constantly Changing Characteristics, Compromised Changeling Confronts Cruel Caretaker. Barely Below B Because: The plot wastes a cool planet set and props, and in the end we get ugly CGI on the station instead. And what's up with the annoying Dax red herrings? The worst sin: An unearned forgiveness of Dr. Mora that comes out of nowhere.
Another meh episode. Par for the course for season 2.
As great a character as Odo is, both episodes about his possible origins so far have been half-baked. I am obviously not going to comment further.
