Somehow, the Great Link got behind me.

Aquehonga

Fleet Captain
Ever seen the Millennium episode "Somehow, Satan Got Behind Me"?

I saw it when it originally aired. Chiller aired a rerun of it last Friday night.

Ever since I first saw "SSGBM", it made me think of the 4 Founders who infiltrated the UFP & made it to Earth. I thought it would've been :cool: of DS9's makers to have made a ST version/cover of that Millennium episode.

Substitute the 4 demons with those 4 changelings, but leave everything else basically the same. Have the 4 Founders interacting & talking in the same style as those 4 demons.

Hell, even re-use the same actors, or similar ones, to the 4 who played those demons. Bill Macy, of Maude, was 1 of them. The other 3? Sure they're journeymen vet actors.

Be a relief from Herberta the Founder Queen (Salome Jens). Even Odo, goodguy or not, can be a dry-sox at times. And Laas? Kid-Nausea of the 24th Century.

This episode, call it, "Somehow, the Great Link Got Behind Me", would show the 4 changelings meeting at a coffee shop (Ferengi owned:confused:) at like 4 in the morning, & discussing their dastardly, nefarious life-disrupting activities. Maybe this donut joint would be in Oakland, Seattle or King of Prussia?

Key here is the 4 Founders would be behaving & talking in the same style the 4 demons were in that Millennium. None of Salome Jens' drip Herbert-speak & style or Laas's mudstick self-righteousness. Not even any of Odo's "crankiness". Sorry Odophiles:o:(

Just 4 cool, amusing, personality-filled, dastardly Founders eating* donuts & drinking* coffee at 4:am yucking it up over their solid-disrupting deeds.

Who'd the UFP &/or Starfleet "Frank Black" be in this Earthside DS9 cover/version of Millennium's "SSGBM":confused:


*I know Odo doesn't eat or drink & Founders don't require food or drink.

But whose to say they can't eat & drink if/when the necessity arises? Or just for the hell of it?

Not all was revealed, from canonuity that counts, regarding Founders & eating/drinking if they so choose.
 
Odo said his attempt at eating was "messy" and that's all he'd say.
If the body didn't need the food, and it had to be chewed up... you'd end up with this rotten junk in you that would have to be expelled... and for no reason. Odo could fake eat, making his cells a drink, then reabsorbing them which worked.

Yeah, that was :cool: Odo did that in TWOTW, "drinking" a capuccino & enjoying a breakfast talk with Garak.

I think I remember that right, yes:confused:
