    He only knew this one shape at this point, and he immediately forgot how to make the face part.

    Correction: he also knew cylinder, cube, dome, and amorphous blob!

      I always found it silly that he didn’t get a better face later on. He practiced so much, and complained like a dozen times about “the face I’m stuck with”, but when bashir offers to give him any face he wants (after he, Sisko and O’Brien infiltrated the Klingons in disguise) he refuses.

      And doesn’t seem to learn anything from all his practicing either once he gets his powers back.

      I know it’s for consistency and to showcase his differentness to the viewers, but still.

        He gets a better face. It happens in Children of Time when they get stuck on the planet with their descendants. It takes Odo a few hundred years to improve. So maybe he is improving but it’s at a rate that we can’t see.

        I also though it was kind of weird that when they find the Founders they all have the same style of face like Odo. But I guess they didn’t have a face in their garden 🤷‍♂️
