I have to say that the complex character of Odo is really of interest to me. Here, we get to know him better. He meets another alien who gives him hope of finding others like him. He is in perpetual fear of prejudice. His job on the ship is made more effective by his harsh demeanor. In this, he finds another character who has feelings like his own, having been driven from his planet because he is different. There are many difficulties in this episode and some harsh realities. One of my favorites.
