Jadzia not being bothered by it was one of my issues. It would have been one thing if the show made it clear that he was being pushy and making her uncomfortable. But the show seemed to be saying that his behavior was perfectly okay and just the way a guy with a crush acts.

I read it as her being so above his level and having experienced unrequited crushes towards her so many times that she didn't care. That or she got a good enough read on him to know he wouldn't try to hurt her, so she shrugged it off. It's kind of like watching a 14 year old who has a crush on his teacher. It's creepy, but also pathetic.

At the time I read it as Jadzia doesn't care because Dax is really old and Bashir is like a kid who is more amusing than threatening. In retrospect, I think it's unfortunate that they didn't frame Bashir's behavior as being inappropriate, even if Dax didn't mind. They could have had it both ways. Dax doesn't need to feel uncomfortable for Bashir to be taught a lesson about appropriate behavior toward a colleague. If anything, she should have been able to impart some wisdom on him.

IA but I think it's just a reflection of how different the times were 25 years ago. I mean this was only a few years removed from Gene Roddenberry actively being in charge of Star Trek. Realistically they weren't going to be really hip with workplace sexual harassment norms.

[(Anonymous)]

I think they did in a way. Jadzia didn't seem bothered when he was pursuing her, but there was an episode in which they got trapped in an turbolift and talked about it. Jadzia says something like 'the reason I avoided you, was because you came on so strong.' and I think Bashir at least acknowledges that he went about it the wrong way.

That's a very good point.
