Comment on Well, it looks like verification photos might be useless now.

  Yeah but isn’t it just the changelings that Starfleet did all the fucked up experiments on that bleed?

    technically yes, but IIRC they were pretty much the only changelings remaining since the others were wiped out in the war? I missed a few Star Trek shows/alternate timelines etc so I might be wrong.

      In the ending of DS9, Odo went to the changeling homeworld and rejoined the great link and cured them of their disease. And he kinda made them more mellowed out or something like that. In Picard S3, Worf mentions something about how his friend (obviously Odo) sent word it wasn’t those changelings involved in the plot. So Odo and all the Gamma quadrant changelings are fine, it’s just the ones that were experimented on by Starfleet that we see in Picard S3.

  So they’ve gotten better at mimicking other life forms? Is that the canonical reason in the show or is Picard just going against established lore?

    I only watched a little of Picard before I gave up. But if I had to guess, it’s that the writers never watched any Star Trek, so they get a lot wrong.
