I like Ezri, but...

I'll just quote myself from the last time. :)

Ezri wasn't science officer. She wasn't the pilot of the Defiant. She didn't use a bat'leth, or play tongo, or display excessive snark, or hold particular devotion to Klingon stuff...or wrestle Galeo-Manada style. ...As far as we know, at least.

One thing that Jadzia and Ezri both did was Worf. ;)

Does that mean Ezri is going to be Dax's last host? Because them's the rules, according to "Rejoined". There was more in that episode than Trek's first same-sex kiss.

And while we're on the subject, how long do those slugs live?
 
Who was aware of Ezri and Worf? Just Ezri and Worf, and possibly a few Breen. Maybe Sisko if they needed to report it to him. None of those people are likely to report Ezri and Worf to the Symbiosis Commission. I think they get away with it. Even if the Commission did find out, it's living your whole married life with the same spouse and thus limiting your new experiences that they're concerned with, not a one-time thing in horrible circumstances.

The slugs live as long as the plot needs them to :) Nobody referred to Dax as being ready for the Ol' Slugs Home. Probably live indefinitely, barring death of the host or lack of a host to join with when they need one.
 
Spock in TWOK. Lt. Yar.

Ok, third time. I forgot about Spock because they brought him back so quickly.

Just an FYI, that page says nothing regarding the "550 years" thing.

550 years is a low estimate, I think. If Dax was in her 300's, and was still alive in "Children of Time", that suggests that a symbiont will last that long. But they could survive longer.
 
I'd call Bashir-Ezri the most annoying. Lacked sincerity in the acting and felt obviously tacked on to give him Someone to Love at the end.

I thought Jadzia-Worf was pretty good.

Bashir-Ezri might as well not have existed it was so underdeveloped.

However Worf and Jadzia was one long excercise in misery, bringing out the worst in both characters. Worf was endlessly morose and miserable, and Jadzia was just a giant jerk. Tears of the Prophets couldn't come fast enough, in my eyes.

Worf-Jadzia seemed to bring both of them quite a bit of happiness too.

Using Dax's lives gives ONE case in which the symbiont lived several centuries, but that still doesn't say much about whether that's an unusually long life or would be considered to be a short lifetime if the symbiont couldn't be saved in Tears of the Prophets.
 
I don't think the franchise has yet shed light on the symbionts' average lifespan, much less whether symbionts that join tend to have longer or shorter lifespans than those that don't.
 
So far, all we have is a low end of 550, confirmed by Memory Alpha, and an indefinite maximum. I was just wondering out loud.

I liked what the novelverse did with the Trill, though I'm not entirely sure how much of that's been contradicted by canon at this point. Possibly none!
 
Then they could have taken Terry Farrell's name out of the opening credits. Sacking and replacing her was unnecessary.
