René Auberjonois

René Auberjonois is Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, shapeshifter law on a station that finally let Trek stay put. Sisko, a wormhole, serialization, war, and religion getting messy. Auberjonois sells the constable as a conscience — a bucket, a badge, moral gray earlier hours often dodged. Seven-season novel arguing with utopia. Bajor as politics; Odo as the face the politics has to walk past. 1990s catalog, Syndication plumbing. René is Odo in that machine from 1993–1999.

On TV Flash he is 1990s catalog voltage. We file Odo with the hours that made a franchise a novel. Watch the constable. Auberjonois is why the series photographs as a place, not a reset. The desk still hears the rumble of the war. A shapeshifter who kept the station honest.

Auberjonois still punches in as Odo at s01e01. Emissary, Part I: Sisko on a politically charged station, the franchise already arguing with utopia from a wormhole. s03e01 is the hour the desk keeps for form: The Search, Part I: serialization as house style, Bajor and the Gamma Quadrant no longer reset-button weather. File him by those Syndication numbers; the 1993–1999 run is the span.

He sits in the 1990s catalog as Odo — the credit Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actually spends. Not the marquee. Odo is the furniture that keeps Star Trek: Deep Space Nine from becoming a lead’s monologue. Sample s01e01 and s03e01 before you treat the whole 1993–1999 run as a dare.

Hold s03e01 for a second pass at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The Search, Part I: serialization as house style, Bajor and the Gamma Quadrant no longer reset-button weather. The series is allowed to be a habit; Auberjonois is the habit’s face as Odo.
