I totally get you, but for me it worked just because of the specific nature of Trill. It actually felt like it did a really good job of demonstrating that Ezri and Jadzia were different characters - that Ezri wasn't just Jadzia Again.

Not to say that I ship it, I just didn't hate it.

Agreed, agreed, and completely agreed

I hated how she didn't serve any real purpose on the station. It would have been much better if they had just shown the symbiote getting transferred into a new body and then moving on to a new life somewhere else. The Trills weren't supposed to continue their previous hosts' lives.

She wasn't, but it was more of an emergency situation, I guess? If Ezri hadn't taken Dax, it might have died with Jadzia.

True. But Ezri was a counselor. As written her role wasn't really needed on DS9 and there wasn't a good reason for her to end up staying there given Trill insistence on leaving old lives behind and the needs/nature of DS9. I know they wanted to write the anti-Jadzia, but the way they wrote Ezri just didn't work.

oh, I agree. She didn't really work for me either. I liked some of the resolution with Worf, but the Bashir stuff was ... nope.

(Though mirrorverse!Ezri was fun.)

I don't think Ezri's storyline was brilliantly written, but there is definitely a need for counselling on DS9 (and in fact the episode where she was trying to provide therapy for Garak was one of the strongest ones). It's a large, fairly remote community, and traumatic stuff happens fairly frequently because they're only not on the edge of a war zone when they're right in the middle of it.

This wasn't my comment originally. But I entirely agree with the sentiment.

Jadzia shouldn't have died, and Bashir should have been with Garak.

(Anonymous) 2018-10-23 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I hear that they have gone slightly to that direction in the books, but since the books pretty much suck, I haven't read them to find out if that's true.

This. Jadzia ruled and Bashir/Garak makes more sense than anything else.

This.

Yes, but if they hadn't shoehorned in a het love interest for both Bashir and Garak, who knows what might have happened???

(Honestly, I liked Ziyal a lot, especially her relationship with Kira, and I would have loved to see her and Garak outsider-bonding if they hadn't added the romantic aspect. And whenever Ezri got to do something, like when she was on that mission with Worf, I liked her a lot, but she hardly ever got to do that.)
