That or there is one long lived alien out there banging his way through the quadrants... Either way, we know what he looks like.

All of Jeffrey Combs' characters are just a single changeling master spy.

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. Or they're separate changelings, but they all had the same "disguise 101" changeling professor, who was, of course, played by Jeffrey Combs. There's hope that Lower Decks could make one of these theories into canon.

I hope they do an episode where he plays every character they meet. Maybe he can be a character like Mr. Smith from the Matrix that keeps taking over the bodies of everyone they encounter

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

They could easily do that on Lower Decks.

Brunt (FCA), is the result of Odo sharing his experiences with the Great Link.

That's why Brunt seemingly spends all of his energy trying to thwart Quark and put him in impossible situations.

That was such a stupid resolution to that episode. Why exactly would this advanced race have hidden the message to their creations in random fragments of DNA on multiple planets?

What if one of them got hit by an asteroid and all life got wiped out?

Maybe they did something like Shamir's secret sharing... So you only need a quorum of larger number of fragments of to reconstruct the whole? If you're warp capable and able to seed humanoid life, I imagine you've probably built in some redundancy.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I don't think so, because the Klingons (or Romulans?) destroyed all life on one of the necessary planets after collecting a sample, which is one of the reasons they all had to share the bits of DNA they collected.
