Quark/Odo fan community

Okay, we're in a new season this week -- hope people enjoy this one. This week, we're discussing... episode 1x11 "The Nagus"!

Episode synopsis: The nagus of the Ferengi Alliance visits DS9 for the first time and surprises everyone by appointing Quark as his successor. Meanwhile, the culture clash between Federation and Ferengi values becomes too great a strain for Nog to attend school -- but not too much for his and Jake's friendship.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: This is a Quark-centric episode: he is waiting on Zek, becoming nagus, becoming aware of the privileges and dangers of that role, and getting almost-murdered by Rom. Odo pops in and out to do various security-related things: keeping an eye on the Ferengi visitors, investigating both the attempted murder of Quark and the unusual "death" of Grand Nagus Zek, and bringing Zek to Quark in time to save him from being thrown out an airlock.

This week we're discussing... episode 6x17 "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night"!

Episode synopsis: While celebrating what would have been her mother's sixtieth birthday, Kira receives a transmission from a renegade Dukat informing her that her mother had not died when Nerys was young, but rather had left her family in order to be in a romantic relationship with him. Using the Orb of Time, Kira travels back in time, seeking the truth.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: Quark has a brief scene at the beginning where he delivers a bouquet of Bajoran lilies to Kira for her mother's birthday. Odo has a scene where he notices the major is in a bad mood and reluctant to talk about it, so he encourages her to do something about it instead.

This week we're discussing... episode 6x04 "Behind the Lines"!

Episode synopsis: The fourth episode in the six-part Dominion occupation arc that opens season 6: On the station, Kira and Rom carry out resistance activities, but urgent problems arise when the Female Founder comes aboard the station and links with Odo, and Damar discovers a way to deactivate the minefield. Rom is arrested trying to sabotage the deflector array to prevent the minefield from being brought down. Meanwhile, in Federation space, Sisko is promoted to a strategic position under Admiral Ross and waits anxiously as Dax captains the Defiant for the first time for a dangerous mission.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: At the beginning of this episode, Quark is in the bar and tries to intervene in a fight between Damar and some Jem'Hadar. Odo heavily features in this episode, responding to the fight, arguing with Kira over station resistance activities and other things, reuniting with the Female Founder and talking and linking with her, and sitting in on both council meetings with Dukat and Weyoun and resistance meetings with Kira, Jake, and Rom. After plying Damar with alcohol, Quark discovers Damar is close to bringing down the wormhole minefield and takes this information to Kira's resistance cell. The episode ends with Odo, having linked with the Founder, indifferent to the fact that Rom was caught due to Odo's actions (or lack thereof).

This week we're discussing... episode 7x23 "Extreme Measures"!

Episode synopsis: The seventh episode in DS9's 9-part finale. Having discovered that the Changeling virus was developed by Section 31, Bashir lures Sloan to the station in a desperate bid to find a cure. When Sloan commits suicide in order to protect his secrets, Bashir and O'Brien enter his dying mind to recover the cure before it's gone for good.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: Odo is sick with the Changeling virus. He appears in two scenes: in the first, he asks Bashir for the prognosis and then asks Kira to leave him behind on the station so that she doesn't have to watch him slowly die. Later, Bashir administers the cure to Odo and he recovers. Quark doesn't appear in this episode. :'D

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 explosion and pretends not to be worried about him after the explosion goes off.

This week we're discussing... episode 3x23 "Family Business"!

Episode synopsis: Quark receives an unexpected visit from Brunt, an agent of the Ferengi Commerce Authority, charging him with allowing his mother to earn profit. Quark is forced to go back to Ferenginar for the first time in 20 years in order to wring the earned money and a confession out of his business-savvy mother. Meanwhile, Jake tries to set his dad up with a visiting freighter captain, Kasidy Yates.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: This is a Quark-centric episode so he's going back to Ferenginar and getting into arguments with his mom. Odo has a couple of scenes: first with Quark where Quark announces he's returning home and tells Odo to watch his bar while he's gone, and then later, Odo watches as Bashir and O'Brien attempt to unlock Quark's closed-down bar in order to retrieve their dartboard.

This week we're discussing... episode 4x05 "Indiscretion"!

Episode synopsis: When Kira finds a lead on a Cardassian prison ship that went missing six years ago, she is forced to work with Dukat to investigate, and finds out that someone important to him was also on that missing ship. Meanwhile, Kasidy Yates is thinking about taking a new job from the Bajoran government and moving onto the station, and Sisko needs to decide if a serious relationship is what he's looking for.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: Not much -- Odo has one scene toward the beginning where he notices Kira is distracted during her weekly meetings, finds out about the Ravinok, and wishes her luck on whatever she finds. Quark's one scene involves him giving unsolicited advice to Sisko on how to deal with women seeking commitment in relationships.

This week we're discussing... episode 6x23 "Profit and Lace"!

Episode synopsis: After implementing controversial feminist reforms on Ferenginar, Zek is deposed, and the only way to prevent Brunt from becoming the next Grand Nagus is to successfully convince a prominent FCA commissioner that Ferengi women are good for, and good at, business. When a heart attack makes Ishka unable to do this herself, Quark is forced to complete the job by pretending to be a Ferengi female named Lumba.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: This is a Quark-centric episode. Odo's one scene at the end is with Quark, where he cheers up Quark (who is in the process of stabilizing after his second sex change operation) by giving him a hug.

This week we're discussing... episode 5x20 "Ferengi Love Songs"!

Episode synopsis: Love is in the air! Depressed at the continued suspension of his business license, Quark goes back to Ferenginar and discovers that his mother and Zek the grand nagus are secretly dating. Meanwhile on DS9, Rom and Leeta get engaged, but the wedding is called off when Rom insists that Leeta sign a contract that would prevent her from owning property.

What The Boys are up to in this episode: This is a Quark-centric episode. He goes back to Ferenginar to get support from his mother, tries and fails to petition Zek to get his business license back, cuts a deal with Brunt to break up Zek and his mother (triggering an economic crisis and investigation into Zek), and then eventually works with his mother to fix the situation. Odo shows up in one scene on the station, having a brief conversation with Worf and Sisko about Klingon behavior on the station, after which he and Sisko come across a sobbing Rom regretting his breakup with Leeta.
