Memory Alpha:
Flashback scenes of Jadzia Dax are conspicuously absent from the end of the episode because the producers were not able to obtain permission from Terry Farrell to use her image. Originally, however, the script had called for clips of Jadzia to be included in the scene. As Ira Steven Behr explains, "We had planned to see Terry Farrell in the flashbacks but she refused to let us use any of her clips. The way I see it is this: Her manager was informed that we were thinking of using Terry in a scene in the final episode. It would have probably been three hours of work... maybe four. The price they quoted us was too high for the budget. After all, this was a show where we had to cut out hundreds of thousands of dollars from the original draft. Her manager was informed that we weren't going to be able to use Terry. And on top of it, the scene we had been thinking of for her was really not that germane to the plot. I think Terry's feelings were hurt. When it came to the issue of the clips, they again felt that they would prefer that we went a different way without using the character of Jadzia Dax. So we did. I wasn't happy about it. I'm still not happy about it. But it is a reminder that even Star Trek is just part of the great showbiz sludge."

To me it kinda sounds like they wanted her for something new, or at least that's how it was interpreted, and she demanded a higher price than they could afford.
 
Last time I watched the episode, my eyes went musty twice: during the flashbacks and when Damar died. The second part is really the strangest of all: seven episodes ago I would've been cheering.
 
Nope. The closing scene with Jake and Kira staring out and the camera pulling back is probably the only moment that I came remotely close to shedding a tear. The only other episode that has that sort of effect on me is "The Visitor".

Me too.
 
During the flash back scene in WYTLB?

I have to admit I do, like a baby is a bit extreme but I definately tear up.

When it came to the flashback of O'Brien and Bashir playing darts I definitely felt the tears coming.

Now let's keep this to ourselves ;)
 
Nope. But, that scene IS one of my favorites of the whole show. I liked how they merged the DS9 theme with the Sinatra song.
 
I get a litte sad. This mostly because my dad died when I was a kid, and the image of Jake looking out the window obviously waiting for Sisco to return reminds me of that time. I am also still a little annoyed that they short Cirroc Loftton on his character stuff in the final run. The father/ son dynamic was an important part of DS9 when it started.
 
The only DSN ep that really brought tears to my eyes is The Visitor, which it was supposed to, as it was written as a tear-jerker. Also, Far Beyond the Stars chokes me up a bit, too, when Benny yells, "It's reeeeaaallll". Really felt for the guy. -- RR
 
I never did at the montage in WYLB - but I did get emotional during those scenes because it kinda becomes real when you watch them that the show really is over.

Now the scenes in The Visitor still get me every time.
 
I almost cried at the end of Duet and The Visitor. After I finished What you leave behind I got a bit emotional becuase I'd just finished the entire seires of DS9 :(. The flashbacks where moving as well because as I said, it was the end of the series.
 
Nope, cant say I do now. though saying that i was a little misty eyed when it first came out, realising there isnt any more ds9
