So strange that Aquiel resembles a Changeling "mid-change", you'd think TNG and DS9 would try not to step on each other's toes like that with an effect / concept.
Glad you mentioned this, Charlie! I didn't want to dwell on this aspect too much, but it does seem rather silly for TNG to be using these morphing effects at the same time that DS9 has built them into its premise. I suspect this is a case of not having thought it through. Because the idea is basically 'giant killer amoeba', the production crew probably weren't expecting the Mr Peanut that they got. .😁
Laura is a favored movie of mine, so knowing that classic has some part in this is sort of comforting. LOL
Too bad Geordi always got the weird love stories - but I guess it's better than nothing!
There is something comforting about classic movies having influence, even when the stories that result downstream are... less than classic. .😂
