Quodo in Every Episode discussion: "Babel"
This week we're discussing... episode 1x05 "Babel"!
Episode synopsis: An aphasia virus dating from the construction of Terok Nor is activated and begins to infect the whole station, rendering people unable to communicate.
What The Boys are up to in this episode: Oh, this is a very Quodo episode -- almost all of their scenes are together, and it is a plot point that, since they're one of the few people not affected by the virus, they end up needing to work together to save the day. Various scenes: (1) Odo notices business is slow (Quark's replicators are broken) and rescues Quark from an angry customer. (2) After Quark finds a solution to his replicator problem, he invites Kira and Dax to eat at his bar. (3) Odo confronts Quark about keeping his bar open during quarantine. (4) Odo catches Quark accessing crew quarters without authorization. (5) Quark tries to recoup money from sick customers. (6) Odo discusses the virus with the senior officers. (7) Odo visits Quark in his now-empty bar and warns him not to steal anything on the Promenade as he will be busy assisting Sisko in Ops. (8) Quark assists Odo in getting to the docking ring to avert an explosionand pretends not to be worried about him after the explosion goes off.

Odo is so petty and I love it.
This line is seared in my mind, and I think it's because of a combination of a best of Sisko moments compilation video I saw and a Tumblr post.
Oh, I don't actually know about these!
The lives of everyone on the station is in Odo's hands at the moment, and these two sound like they're having a disagreement they've had every day for the last ten years. Such married/divorced vibes.
It's so true. XD
Quark and Odo really are being so cute with their flirting in this one. XD And Quark's physical comedy in this episode is really great, from sending Odo off with a cheeky wave, to his brace posture, to the way he awkwardly leans on a passed-out Sisko. It's great.
These are cute ideas! Speaking of cart!Odo, I forgot to mention how funny it is to me that Quark's first reaction to seeing Odo change from the cart back into his usual form is just to say, "I thought the front wheels were sticking a bit." Now I'm just imagining Odo impishly making the cart harder to maneuver than usual, just to mess with Quark a bit. XD
