The thing is starfleet has like a billion ways of sensing subspace distortions. So detecting changelings shouldn't be impossible, even if you don't catch them in the act you should be able to map out the subspace distortions whenever one changes mass. It also inevitable leads to a troubling question: does each changling have his own personal subspace bubble for storing his extra weight, or is there this whole other dimension with changing butts just constantly phasing in and out. The changling butt dimension. Do other things live in that dimension?!? (what do you think it smells like haha)

That implies that a changeling could potentially become a planet, or even a singularity. STUPID HOLOGRAM CHILD Odo, be a top! ODO *Spins into a loving pulsar and wrecks 3 systems.

Yeah I can see that. I haven't actually read a lot of Star Trek fan fics, mostly because fan fics are only interesting if they are really good or really bad and if I want bad star trek I have Voyager or Enterprise.

i mean 60k is a loving novel to put it into perspective it amazes me some of the fic writers who have the ability to write multiple 50k+ fics in a year and have huge, dedicated twitter followings, but they will not self pub and constantly complain about how agents will not give them the time of day

So my guess was the writer went "Jadzia's a lady right?" and just wrote a troi episode.

The problem is not that she is a bad writer, it's that she wrote a very bad episode for Jadzia. Troi and Jadzia are very different characters with different strengths. A lot of Troi episodes feature a new stranger who sweeps her off her feet, but by all accounts Jadzia should be like, "Nah, I've done that poo poo before."

Quark really comes off as a character who by all rights should be super unpleasant and annoying; he's sexist, racist, and constantly getting everyone in danger with his greed and selfishness, but everyone in show and out actually likes him. Neelix is basically what happens when you try to do that kind of character and go horribly wrong.

Quark works as a character because he has an ethos and some measure of morals (warped as they are). He's also more bark than bite, and everyone knows it. Neelix just gets rewritten on a weekly basis to suit the script, same as everyone that isn't Janeway, Seven, or the Doctor.

I think it's telling that during flashbacks to the Occupation, it's noted that Quark is permitted to use Bajorans as waiters and other staff, and it's the most desirable job anywhere for Bajorans because Quark and Rom treat the Bajorans relatively well.

And while Quark makes a big effort to be a 'good' 'traditional' Ferengi, he really isn't one, and it shows in his interactions with larger Ferengi society. Their society is open about being cutthroat capitalism and prepares everyone for it, but the ones who actually succeed are the ones who can be trustworthy and reliable, especially in long-term relationships with other societies that don't put up with their poo poo quite so much. Quark and Odo also have the thing of being constants during and after the occupation, they know each other from way back and are part of the station as much as the airlocks and furniture.
