Changeling

Story: Vortex
Written By: Sam Rolfe
Series: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Year: 1993

“Vortex” gives us our first real episode asking who Odo is, where did he come from, and are there more like him out there. The problem I find with this episode is that we get all of our information from a guy who is actually lying throughout, so it is really hard to take any of the information he has or claims to have to heart.
It does show that Odo does want to find his people, and it is clearly his secret fantasy, but beyond that it is like asking a ton of questions we don’t really get answered, and answering a bunch of questions we don’t really care about. Unfortunate.
