The main issue for " The Alternate " was thatit would require extensive make - up work for Rene Auberjonois to play both characters inStar Trek : Deep Space Nine . One special scene in the episode sees an angry Odo lose forcible stableness , and begin to melt in front of Dr. Mora . If that were n’t complex enough , there would be the day-to-day make - up required for Auberjonois to play Odo , combined with the additional make - up to transform the actor into a Bajoran scientist . It was forecast that the work involved would repeat the length of the shoot , and so James Sloyan was throw away rather .
DS9’s Odo And TNG’s Data Did Have 1 Major Thing In Common
Rene Auberjonois did n’t follow in Brent Spiner ’s footfall by playing both " father " and " son " inStar Trek : Deep Space Nine . However , Odo and Data did share one big thing in rough-cut . BothDS9 ’s Odo andStar Trek : The Next contemporaries ’s Data effectively begin their stories as orphans . Odo was discovered drift in quad above Bajor , while Data was let out abandoned on the major planet Omicron Theta . Both Odo and Data then expend a considerable amount of time learning to become more human , with the interposition of scientific minds . And then , long time later , when Odo and Data do come up their origins , they also observe their evil counterparts .
When Odo and Data do find their origins , they also discover their evil counterpart .
InStar Trek : The Next Generation , it was Data ’s evil brother Lore , while for Odo it was the Changelings , the so - called founders ofDS9 ’s anti - Federation . Both men had to reconcile their problematic relative , as both Lore and the Dominion sought to destroy everyone that Data and Odo cared for . So , while Odo was n’t as physically alike to Dr. Mora Pol as Data was to Noonien Soong , Star Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s Changeling Constable did share a very similar character discharge toTNG ’s beloved android .
