What did The Founders look like before they met Odo?

[CaptainWacky]

They copied his humanoid look, but they must have appeared to the Vorta and the Jem Haddar and OTHERS before then, SO WHAT DID THEY LOOK LIKE? IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

 

[headvoid]

"Shifters" - even the name is a little shifty.

 

[whisky]

Maybe they looked like a vorta

 

[Big Dick McGee]

A puddle of goo?

 

[Tisiphone]

Maybe they were invisible.

 

[Dr Dave]

Batman.

 

[Gagh]

Ronnie Corbett.

 

[whisky]

An inanimate carbon rod.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

They were already pulling a fast one on the Alpha Quadrant before Odo ever found them.

 

[Dr Dave]

The first Becky on Roseanne.

 

[Loktar]

Sinead O' Connor.

 

[CaptainWacky]

MAYBE THEY LOOKED LIKE HORSES

They copied his humanoid look

No they didn't, he unconsciously copied their humanoid look. That's why he can't perfectly imitate a Bajoran face and ends up with the basic smooth founder face instead.

Laas had the same problem copying the Valarans appearance. It's probably something that was programmed into the 100 changelings the Founders sent across the galaxy, lest they become complacent and not want to come home.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Is that actually true? Damn it...

I just saw "Children of Time" where Odo had over 200 years to try and perfect his look. He is a bit crap at it isn't he?

I mean, he can perfect the feathers on a Tarkalean Hawk (His standard response when going all poetic) but somehow, despite looking at humans for years, he looks like he has applied an iron to his face after coming through a furnace.

I always wondered why he didnt just take a mould of someones face, then push his own face into it.

He sometimes explained this away by saying that he actually preferred the look. After being turned into a Klingon in the season 5 opener, the humanized Odo still asked for his old face back even when Julian offered him any kind of face he wanted.

He is the Fuddy-Duddy Founder.

He probably just didnt want to have to get a new driving licence

Did you cry when the Klingons came to do the gardening?
