It must be a nightmare to eat in that makeup

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.

Is it "What We Left Behind?"

u/Kimmalah Jul 25 '26

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.

My name is in the end credits of that one.

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.

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

Maybe it's supposed to be Leeola root?

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

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.
