Odo meet Odo

[Photon]

(Turn off reality meters for a sec) Lets say future Odo comes back to DS9 or wherever to rectify some past incidient. If he met past Odo, could they meld to become ew Odo?

They could link like any two changelings, but they couldn't become a single entity.

We already had Odo link with himself in "Children of Time", I think it is, where the crew meets their descendants.

True enough. Future Odo imparts his memories and motivations to our Odo, so our Odo can explain it to Kira at the end of the episode.

And he's basically right. With enough future Odos you might be able to create a Great Odo Link, but there would still be a lot of individual changelings - even without much individuality.

I like early Odo of the first 2 seasons who had a moral center rather the Odo who would do anything immoral for Kira's sake ("Children of Time") or to return to the Great Link (the Occupation Arc).
