Agreed. She mentioned killing him on several occasions. Including one of my favorite Kira lines, the one about Ziyal. Just a simple death threat, but Kira delivers it with such conviction.
She gained a little poet to go with the warrior... but she was still a warrior.
Indeed. And after everything Dukat did to her and Bajor, she earned the right to blow his lights out.
I'm very wary of any Trek story where one of the good guys kills a bad guy in a situation where they don't have to.
Kira killing Dukat would absolutely be one of the exceptions to the rule.
(Assuming the story was engineered in a way that was satisfying, and not just "Kira decided today was the day" of course.)
But I also have no problem with her not being the one that took him down. I think she'd be completely satisfied that it happened*, and that's good enough for me.
*You have to wonder how much she even knows. Unless/until Sisko tells them the whole story, I assume most of what happened in the Fire Caves is unknown. As far as anyone knows, Dukat wasn't even there.

Sisko has to report his actions to Starfleet, and good practice would be to report them to his 2nd in command too, unless there's some critical security reason for keeping her in the dark.
I wish they had not introduced a new Dax character to the show and just wrote the character out of the series, Nothing against the actress, but like others have already said it felt like too much had to be introduced into the last season when the war could have filled up the remaining episodes.
Completely agreed. The idea of a neurotic Trill who was Joined unexpectedly and trying to deal with the emotional fallout had too much potential for one season anyway.
I liked Ezri as well. Though I wish they had worked something out with Terry.
Of all the Cousin Olivers in the history of television, Ezri Dax was the best.
I agree, as a result the final episodes feels very rushed and underdeveloped. Her character isn't really the only problem though, I think in the last season they were throwing everything on the wall to see what sticks. "Hmm... Sisko is now the son of the Prophets!", "Look how amazing Vic Fontaine is, he's amazing because we're telling you he's amazing!" and so on.
Not only that, but it felt like a cop-out, they should just got rid of Dax completely. I cannot understand why they waste time on developing a completely new character on the last season, it feels like an exercise on futility, instead of focusing our remaining time on the characters we already have.
For example, imagine if in Star Wars on "Return of the Jedi", rather than have Luke Skywalker battling Darth Vader, we get introduced to a secret relative and we spend half of the movie with this random character. I mean, that would really suck. That's kind of how I feel with Ezri Dax.
How is Ezri a Cousin Oliver but Worf and Seven not? Just curious, I don't really remember the Brady Bunch much.
This. If you're going to have the trauma of killing off the character, don't cop out by just bringing them back an episode later. That was annoying enough with Superman.
Luckily, they didn't. Jadzia remained dead.
If Ezri actually stepped into Sisko's role I'd agree, that's not what happened.
Why did they even bother to introduce Jabba in Return of the Jedi ? Or Wicket? Or Ackbar? They should have focused their remaining time on the previously established characters.
