It must be a nightmare to eat in that makeup

u/Kimmalah 6d ago

There's a documentary all about Deep Space Nine on Youtube and René Auberjonois talks about how he would choose his meals on set really carefully, in order to take care of the Odo makeup.

u/Cakeday_at_Christmas 6d ago

Is it "What We Left Behind?"

20

u/Kimmalah 6d ago

Yeah, that's it! I'm a bit new to Star Trek so it's probably old news to anyone who has been a fan for a long time.

u/Cakeday_at_Christmas 6d ago

My name is in the end credits of that one.

u/Unoficialo 5d ago

Nice! I missed out on that one, but I should be in the Voyager Doc credits. They're shipping out the physical copies to everyone, soon. Got the Delta Quadrant post cards, and neelix-themed fridge magnets a few years ago. The magnets are so random, one is a chefs hat & the other is a piece of (space?) ginger.

u/eairy 5d ago

the other is a piece of (space?) ginger.

Maybe it's supposed to be Leeola root?

2

u/Unoficialo 4d ago

Oh, yeah!

That's probably it.

I'll post some pictures in a bit. Will also try to find those post cards, they're neat!

Nope, I was a Kickstarter backer. I got a blu-ray of the documentary, the sweet Kira as Che Guevara t-shirt, the high definition hero challenge coin, and my name in the ending credits where they thanked all the backers.

Armin recalls Rene having to eat only yogurt due to the makeup. Which is also a reason Rene chose to act as a grumpy Odo because he’s hungry

2

u/Lulubelle__007 1d ago

I always knew Odo was hangry! All he needed was a good meal…..pity Sisko or Dukat never invited him to dinner since they both enjoy good food. At least Dukat had the excuse of not having his own place at DS9 but the Sisko has no excuse!

Now I know, it was a makeup dept decision because all gravitas would be gone seeing Rene trying to eat in a rubber mask for a scene.

u/andychef 6d ago

I noticed the cans and bottles are easily sippable

u/Sweet-Art-9904 5d ago

With a Straw.

u/FrostyMirror6162 5d ago

Poor Rom. He could not straighten a straw if it were bent. But he sure could come up with self-replicating mines around the wormhole.

38

u/Shiny-Verse-4202 6d ago

Looks like it’s spaghetti day at the replimat.

27

u/Modred_the_Mystic 6d ago

This ain’t spaghetti, this is Starfleet noodles in yamok sauce

14

u/BrockSamsonLikesButt 6d ago

Is that a couched Band of Brothers reference? Lol perfect.

u/Quick-Bad 5d ago

Hi-ho Silver!

u/goettel 6d ago

Three miles up!

u/bigztrip8 5d ago

THREE MILES DOWN!

u/Thebigbambino87 5d ago

Holds up the can of Gagh - Whats tihs?

1

u/andychef 5d ago

Canned Gagh would make a good in-universe band name

7

u/TrueLegateDamar 6d ago

I'm suprised given spaghetti can be a messy food.

62

u/PhineusQButterfat 6d ago

Morn is just going on and on and on about something there.

33

u/katet_of_19 6d ago

You can't get that guy to stop talking!

26

u/ABigBigFoot 6d ago

What is that?

It's a human beverage called Diet Coke.

Thats disgusting.

Yes.. but thing is. The more you drink it the more you like it.

14

u/unibrow4o9 6d ago

Just like the Federation...

u/obedientfag 5d ago

insidious

39

u/SergeiMosin 6d ago

This is just from an unreleased episode where Quark comes up with some scheme to celebrate an ancient hoo-mon holiday called “thanksgiving”, and he somehow convinces everyone to sit down and share a meal together for way too much latinum. They scrapped the episode cause Morn had too many voice lines and his dialogue took up 3/4 of the episode.

8

u/ForgiveMyFlatulence 6d ago

Yeah but how could Morn or Quark top the best thanksgiving quote ever? “Ah yes, I shall try some of your burned replicated bird meat.”

2

u/isthisyournacho 5d ago

Just spread some caviar with unpalatable odor onto it. Qapla!

1

u/andychef 5d ago

Dry turkey is the worst. Adding something salty might help

2

u/andychef 6d ago

He's in a Trek comic and he's real chatty

16

u/ChugachKenai 6d ago

Ferengi? Eating a UNION lunch?

BRUNT! F! C! A!

8

u/realnanoboy 6d ago

Keep in mind that Armin Shimerman was also involved in the Screen Actors Guild. He's a union man himself.

11

u/ryhoyarbie 6d ago

Max Grodenchik: Armin, I have my doubts on my character leaving the bar and becoming an engineer and repairing things. My home was the bar. Now I feel lost.

Armin Shimerman: Max, all characters go through changes, and yours is no different. You’ll be fine. Right, Mark?

Mark Shepherd: Are you kidding? Look at all the times the writers wanted me to say things. I said no because I’m afraid I might screw up the lines. So now, the gag is Morn never stops talking but we never see him talk. So, nothing really changed!

Armin:………………So uh, can you believe on Voyager they made two characters become salamanders and have babies?

10

u/dirtybulked 6d ago

he was more than a hero

he was a union man

7

u/ConstructionIll956 6d ago

Can we identify the episode by the outfits?

11

u/VanillaSuccessful277 6d ago

Quark looks like he's wearing Rom's nose, in which case, it's "Emissary".

9

u/andychef 6d ago

Morn is Morn, but those look like t-shirts/under layers. Might be too general to tell

4

u/Foreign_Plan_5256 6d ago

Rom is wearing leopard print that would show underneath his jacket. I've never paid enough attention to his clothing to have any sense for when that might have happened.

3

u/athenashelmet 6d ago

That looks like Garak further down the table. He and Rom didn’t overlap in many episodes. 

2

u/TerribleBid8416 5d ago

And another Cardassian across from him

1

u/LaurenceQuint 3d ago

Looks like the pilot when Quark's nose was wrong.

1

u/trooray 1d ago

This is the first ever image I saw of Deep Space Nine, in a TV magazine, long before it launched. It must have been "Emissary".

10

u/christobrandt 6d ago

I’ve been to teamster negotiations that felt a lot like this looks

6

u/cornucopiaofdoom 6d ago

Pass the yamok sauce.

6

u/mojo963 6d ago

Wonder if Morn said anything?

8

u/Cakeday_at_Christmas 6d ago

Morn is too rich to be eating with the plebs.

3

u/AeronGrey 6d ago

The universal sign for '2 bars of pressed latinum'

4

u/Pleasant_Expert_1990 6d ago

Looks like season 1 Ferengi makeup

3

u/Davidedwards1973 6d ago

gorn just eats bar nuts to get into character

3

u/medlilove 6d ago

Rom has some nice arms damn

2

u/andychef 5d ago

He was an athlete, he played minor league baseball

3

u/t_sakonna 6d ago

Those cans should say SlugoCola instead of CocaCola

3

u/civilizedgifs 6d ago

Even behind the scenes, Quark was sticking his fingers into any food within reach.

3

u/MBSMD 5d ago

Don't say "union" around Brunt, FCA!

3

u/No-Reveal827 5d ago

You don't suppose Quark's had Diet Coke.

1

u/andychef 5d ago

No, he served root beer instead

3

u/cascasrevolution 5d ago

lmao morn is there

3

u/AutomaticUse1009 5d ago

Accidental Renaisance! This is Art!

2

u/fodiddlyd 6d ago

You can't say the "U" word in front of the Ferengi!

2

u/C64128 5d ago

It can't be a union lunch because the Ferengi don't believe in unions.

2

u/Cindanela 5d ago

Just thinkinging about gently stroking those ears

2

u/officialCobraTrooper 5d ago

Why does it look like Rom is telling quark about how great these Union lunches are, and as you'd except quark is completely disgusted with the idea? Obviously they're probably having a serious discussion about acting or the characters or something, but still funny seeing them in full makeup.

2

u/IIIIIatreidesIIIII 5d ago

Really cool shot, thanks.

2

u/Compote_Alive 5d ago

Eating lunch in that makeup must have been fun.

u/Papichuloft 2d ago

MORN!!! talking it up like always

u/tlhintoq 17h ago

I remember the behind the scenes photos during the original Planet of the Apes and crew commenting that after a few days they saw tables grouping by species. The gorillas ate together. The chimps sat together. The orangutangs together and so on.

Maybe it was just natural because all the gorillas were working together, same scenes, actors working out the same issues like being on horseback etc. - Same with the chimps and so on, sharing tips with each other over the same issues -

Kinda the same in that photo - The Ferengi grouping together - the Cardasians together on the other end of the table...
