They didn't need a sequel series... just have DS9 go 8 or 9 seasons.Now if they were planning on making a sequel series with Ezri as part of the cast, that would have been understandable. But that wasn't going to happen.

It's a bad example.I liked her, but I have a little trouble with her shift to the command path.
The original series writers' guide encouraged would-be Star Trek writers to think about whether their story would work in present-day terms. Would the captain of a US Navy ship flirt with a woman he met in a port of call while on his own ship?, that sort of question. Well, how often does the psychologist, doctor, or chaplain of a US Navy ship end up in command of a ship? I guess, maybe, if it's a hospital ship but otherwise probably not.
Pretty much, Ezri was a breath of fresh air, she was the only thing I liked about what was a very meh season.Ezri was more interesting than Jadzia at that point. Ezri and Garak figuring out each other's and their own problems at the same time... just awesome
Bashir/Ezri is disgusting.
In my head canon it was a fling to distract Bashir from being devastated by Garak and then they start up again shortly after).
I (eventually) enjoyed seeing her get used to being joined and I liked her dysfunctional family and the different relationship she has with Ben.
And I really found it idiotic having her on the bridge in battle.
If nothing else, Ezri was worth it for her call-out of the Klingon Empire....something Jadzia never would have done.

I never saw him as inept... he was more a character who was mostly an ally, but had his own agenda. Honestly, after journeying with him from TNG on, it kind of pissed me off that one, they assassinated his character at the end, and two, Martok was basically installed against his will when he clearly didn't want to be Chancellor, and three, Worf didn't clean up his own mess.Gowron was a great character, I’ve seen numerous videos pulled from Klingon games and Language primers… but it was time to show his ineptness and get rid of him.

They made him inept at the end, yes. But the Gowron I followed from TNG to the reinstatement of the Khitomer Accords seemed to have his stuff together. And in any case, if Worf was going to kill Gowron, he should have been ready to wear the coat himself.I’d call him inept, he was wasting the only resources the alliance had on worthless raids that were just getting Vortas-class cruisers blown into tiny μScopic chunks… and he was going to keep on doing it until Worf stopped him. Besides, Worf enacted Gowron’s “Honorable Retirement”.
I more found it just... dull. Their first kiss didn't make me gag or anything, just roll my eyes and say "yeah, whatever".
For some reason, I liked Garashir as an "unrequited desire" sort of thing... it must be difficult (even heartbreaking) for a person who's gay to have feelings for someone who simply isn't wired to return them. And probably quite common, given the ratio of cishet people to LGBT+ ones.
Anyone else think that a romance between her and Jake would have been an interesting plot development?

Ezri and Jake feels like it would have been weird given she holds memories of his birth and childhood from Curzon and Jadzia.
I knew Andrew Robinson was playing Garak that way (until the powers that be told him to stop), but didn't know Siddig was going that route as well.As for 'Garashir' - both actors have said they played their roles as if the characters were sleeping together. I never got the impression Garak was a sad gay with a pathetic crush...
