Notes
- Ben Sisko implies that his father has died, but he’s later shown to be very much alive.
- Dr Pol was supposed to be played by Rene Auberjonois similar to Brent Spiner/Data, Luis Zimmerman/Voyager Doctor, but it was scrapped to to extreme makeup concerns.
- Dr Pol returns for one other episode – Season 5’s “The Begotten“.
- Dr Pol’s hairstyle was created similar to Odo’s to match a line in the Season 1 episode “The Forsaken” where Odo claims his hair was modeled after his “mentor” (Dr Pol).
- The place that Odo and crew land at has a building that reminds me of the building from “Blood Oath” where the Albino was hiding out.

The Doctor who took care of Odo when he was first discovered returns with evidence that there's more of his race; Odo might not be the only one. Some good character background. They do find a lifeform

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek Deep Space Nine Ep 32 - The Alternate - 10 Jan 1994 2/2 who is like Odo, but it dies. Odo is affected by gas on the planet - he turns into this monster who wants revenge. Some great acting by Rene Auberjonois - mostly in his eyes, cuz Odo's makeup isn't very expressive.
