Starfleet Academy Recalls Deep Space Nine's Odo
14 Feb
Summary
- Starfleet Academy honored DS9 fans with Jake Sisko and Illa Dax's return.
- Odo, the shapeshifting Chief of Security, is suggested for a future appearance.
- A new actor would portray Odo due to René Auberjonois's passing.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy recently paid tribute to Deep Space Nine by bringing back Jake Sisko and revealing Professor Illa's true identity as Illa Dax. This return has sparked discussion about further nods to the beloved '90s series.
Fans are hoping for the inclusion of Odo, Deep Space Nine's shapeshifting Chief of Security. Considering his long lifespan, it's plausible Odo could still be alive in the 32nd century. His appearance could offer insights into his character's evolution and the current status of the Great Link.
While René Auberjonois, the original actor for Odo, passed away in 2019, the character's shapeshifting abilities provide a narrative solution for recasting. The show could even craft a reunion between Odo and Illa Dax, offering a significant Deep Space Nine moment.
Starfleet Academy, which is confirmed for a second season, may already be considering these ideas. Fans are eager to see more Deep Space Nine tributes, especially involving Odo's potential return.
