Chimera

When the show begins, O'Brien and Odo encounter a changeling--one who, like Odo, is not part of the collective and which has been wandering, alone, for some time. Odo takes his new friend back to DS9 where some very troubling things about Laas begin to show themselves. Laas is extremely xenophobic and thinks that humanoids are horrible--and that changelings are a far superior life form. He also tries hard to introduce Odo to the notion of leaving the station and going off with him to find more changelings. After all, it MUST suck living among all these humans! Obviously things cannot remain as they are--and the two new friends' time together is destined to be limited.

This is a decent episode and it helps illustrate the true character of the changelings--and how Odo is different as well as much like them. Interesting and worth seeing.
