Star Trek DS9 Episode 5 - Babel

Miles O'Brien accidentally unleashes an old booby-trap while fixing a replicator. The Bajoran terrorists placed this virus in the system 18 years prior, now it is infecting everyone on the station. They start speaking in Shakespearean nonsense...and eventually die. Bashir, Sisko and Kira work together to solve the problem. Meanwhile a visiting ship is about to explode and destroy the station...Quark and Odo work together to stop the destruction of DS9. The episode was a bit crazy and seemed rather forced, but let me just say that the dynamic between Odo and Quark was excellent. Watching these two interact with each other will be lots of fun going forward.

5 down and 171 to go

I always liked Quack and Odo together. they should have had their own spin off sitcom

Like a buddy cop show. Odo is the straight man and Quark is the loose cannon.

So I took the recap of a McMillan and Wife episode and replace Mac with Odo and Sally with Quark...here's the results (mind you, this in an actual McMillan and Wife episode)

It's The Comedy of Errors when the mob abducts Odo and replaces him with a surgically altered lookalike to liquidate a squealer in a tightly guarded secret location. Nice climax when the real Odo escapes from the mobsters, and Quark has to decide which is the real Odo and asks one of them what(Quark's)favorite desert is--apple crumb cake.

Is this the episode where the Japanese girl takes off her panties?

If that is true, then I totally missed it and I am going to re-watch that entire episode in slow motion.
