“Babel” [S1E5]

Could they have solved the Tower of Babel incident with a round of Charades? Liz and Meagan sort it out as DS9 battles a rapidly-spreading virus that interferes with speech and language. Hilariously, only Quark and Odo are spared. Thus begins (drumroll) our first Quodosode, which writer Liz insists is a technically perfect hour of television. Artist Meagan agrees. BravOdo! So sit down, relax and sip on an ice-cold Ferengi Starduster (extra straw!) while we attempt to answer the following: - Does Dr. Bashir want to f**k this virus? - Is it still considered kidnapping if you *intend* to return them? - Does anyone on this station understand the concept of quarantine? - Would Bajoran standup be funny? - Why does Liz’s Odo impression sound like Yoda? (Answers: Yes. Yes. No. Super no. Insufficient low vocal register.)
