If Worf never came to Deep Space 9, or if he wonldn't get together with Jadzia (for whatever reason), do you think she and Julian Bashir would get together? For a time at least? How would that go? Especially, how that would influence the events of "Doctor Bashir I presume"?
If Worf never came aboard Deep Space 9, do you think Jadzia Dax and Julian Bashir would eventually become a couple, even if only temporarily?
- Thread starter BohandiAnsoid
- Start date
Maybe temporarily. After all, if Jadzia could sleep with a Gallamite with a transparent skull, I think hooking up with Julian for a little while would not be outside the realm of possibility.

No she had thoroughly friendzoned him (and Quark) she just enjoyed having everyone persue her as she admits to in Starship Down. Even Vic said neither of them even got out of the starting gate and they had a 3 year headstart on Worf. It would just not have happened.
She said that but she was either lying to spare his feelings or just still very, very confused.
Possibly, if Jadzia gained the respect for Julian to see him in that light.
Bashir is incredibly annoying in early DS9. Smug, overbearing, and quite young too in his behaviour - no clue as to what's really out there in life. Or so it seems.
If I were a 300-year old woman, I really wouldn't be into that. (Can't really judge though, I'm male.) I'd try to invest in a good cordial professional relationship, but no more than that - and think, well, he has to simmer/mature for 20-40 more years first.
Later DS9 Bashir is less insufferable, though. Still, the potential for relationship would have started out on the wrong footing.

Remember also that the Dax we got in the first one and a half seasons wasn't the Dax we got later. Up until then, the idea was that the symbiont was the dominant personality, so they sought to give Dax kind of a "wise old sage" vibe. In S2, they decided to make the host the more dominant personality, andvwe got a more flirtatious, more "fun" Dax. And yes, once Bashir grew up a little and stopped having an over-inflated opinion of himself, he and Jadzia could have gone somewhere.
"The Quickening" presented a great opportunity for Jadzia and Bashir to find romance.
It was the two of them down on the planet, helping those folks afflicted with the blight and searching for a cure. Despite all of that misery, it could have been a bonding experience for them.
The first time that I saw the episode, that is exactly what I thought was going to happen. I thought the set up of the story of the two of them working closely together on the planet would lead them to romance.
As other posters have wrote, Bashir initially in the series was insufferable. And he was kind of frivolous when it came to relationships.
Bashir's conduct on the planet was rather upstanding, though. His dedication to finding a cure was worthy of admiration. I figured that that would to lead Jadzia to seeing Bashir in a different but very favorable light, something that maybe she hadn't seen before in Bashir.
But, obviously, that didn't happen. If their time working closely with one another on the planet didn't lead to anything, I suppose nothing would have.
And I'm glad it didn't. In hindsight, Jadzia was better off with Worf imo.

I suppose it didn't happen because Jadzia already had her eyes on Worf at the time...
However, even if I like a certain canon pairing, I often find it fun to look for alternatives. As long as they are not too jarring to me.

I personally think it's the exact opposite. Jadzia was the more reserved personality (Jadzia was quiet and shy according to Playing God) and then Jadzia Dax slowly started to embrace more of the Dax approach to life, embracing Klingon culture wholeheartedly, wrestling, partying, having a great old time like Curzon used to.
