I could have seen Nabiki in the role... they would have appealed to each others ambitions nicely.
Would the link have had similar effects on Ranma as it did Odo? Meaning would his fiancee/wife/companion etc... have to face off with him and force him to see what it was doing to him like was done with Odo?
Not quite.
I was thinking, and this is just random, crazy talk here, about how the Dominion was supposed to know about the Federation before the discovery of the Wormhole.
And Star Trek being Star Trek, there was one logical option that sprung to mind.
"Temporal Anomaly".
A Founder is sent back in time to warn the Great Link about the Federation, either the threat that it poses or that steps will need to be taken to prevent Odo breaking their most sacred of laws. Possibly allowing the Human race a chance to join the Dominion as autonomous members or something.
Something went wrong, and the Founder ended up on Earth and not in the Gamma Quadrant.
And after contacting the Dominion, Earth makes contact with aliens/gains warp drive technology a couple of generations early and possibly prevents WW3.
Or Ranma uses his skills to engineer some help and accidentally starts the Eugenics Wars or something.
I don't know, I'm just trying to help the headache go away.
