What the hell? What was supposed to be the point of turning Odo back into a shapeshifter just half a season after he was made human?
Now I can say what I wanted to say in an earlier post: Until you reviewed the episode in which Odo was turned human, I had totally forgotten that it happened. I guess the fact that it was undone so quickly may explain why. But once my memory was jogged, I remembered I found it implausible to start with and falling flat in its execution, so maybe it was just as well it was jettisoned fast.
Thinking more about the implausibility, I'm wondering: If the Founders could do this, completely change their physiology and change it back with relative ease, why have shape-shifting spies when they could undergo this process, thus avoiding the whole blood test pitfall? The spies wouldn't personally like it, but they'd make the sacrifice for the greater good of the Dominion or such, right?
