Anagram 01/20/20 10:05:01 PM #126:	27. Jadzia Dax Careful, or you might get me Madzia Dax. Okay, so you have an immortal character with the wisdom of a thousand years or whatever. What kind of personality do you give her? Do you go with the Galadriel-esque Im an ancient being beyond your comprehension, or do you make her an anime teenager whos bouncy and acts like a five year-old? I bet you didnt expect Star Trek to err toward the latter. Jadzia is supposed to be this ass-kicking warrior/scientist/philosopher/sage/adventurer whos still into things like gambling, sex, and booze, and she pulls it off okay. Shes okay, thats all Ive got for her. Of DS9s main cast, she definitely has the least to do after OBrien. Sisko has his whole Jesus and war storyline, Odo and Worf are Torn Between Two Worlds, Kira has a lot of baggage from her Resistance fighter days, Quark handles all of the comedy episodes, and Bashir has his embarrassment about being a genetic augment. Meanwhile, Dax borders on being happy-go-lucky. What Im saying is that of all the non-Jake characters, she has the least to do and the least growth. And yet, DS9 is just so good that she still climbs her way to Okay Tier. Everyone on DS9 gets so much to do that even its weaker characters are above-average by everyone elses standards. I like Jadzia being a Klingaboo, I like her silly little love triangle where she just doesnt care about Bashir at all (she tells him he was her second choice, which, ouch, better to say nothing at all), and I like her acting like a mentor to Sisko because of the Trill reincarnation thing. She lacks the real depth of the other core DS9 characters, but shes still a solid supporting character. She could have been more, but what we have is still good. Id also like to say that she has a disappointing death. Star Trek is very bad at giving characters satisfying deaths, and the one time it succeeded with Spock, it undid it. Later Spock dies of old age or whatever in the Abrams universe, but not before skyping Zachary Quinto and telling him that Khan is dangerous instead of Quinto just looking him up on Wikipedia. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
