Anagram 01/20/20 4:52:45 PM #122:	30. Ezri Dax LOL IM DAX NOW Ezri Dax is the single Star Trek character who has the least right to exist. Id go so far as to say she shouldnt exist at all. So you have a problem: you have a season all written out when one of your actresses bails. Solution? Hire a (younger) actress to be her alien reincarnation. Ezri probably would have been a great idea if Jadzia had died in season 4 or season 5, but she dies in the last episode of season 6. Ezri has exactly one season to show her stuff, and that means she has like two episodes to integrate into a cast thats been together for six years. Its a hard task that she does not succeed in but I like her anyway. Im not sure what it is about Ezri Dax I find appealing, because its sure not her character. Shes younger and more inexperienced than Jadzia, and she gets into trouble a lot because she didnt train to carry a symbiote like shes supposed to have. Shes a counselor, but no one on DS9 really needs counseling (and it was questionable enough as it was to have Troi on the Enterprise in the first place). She has a romance with Bashir that is so forgettable that even I was surprised by it on my third rewatch of DS9. She gets like two genuine Ezri episodes, one where she has to track down a serial killer, by the way, that episode is better than anything in Star Trek Discovery because it involves logical deductions and figuring things out instead of spouting technobabble (I cant stop insulting Discovery, sorry, maybe I need counseling), and the other where Worf just assumes theyll continue dating and shes not into it. I guess what I like about Ezri is her potential. She could have been a better version of Deanna Troi, the redemption of the concept that proved it was a good idea all along but she wasnt. She just shows up early in season 7, says LOL IM DAX NOW, and thats it. That, and her actress. I think her actress actually does a great job with what shes given, she just was brought into the show way too late. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
