Jadzia was an average character, I liked her... sort of.... but Ezri's just great. Much more emotive and has a lot more depth, especially in episodes like Field of Fire.
 
Here's some differences between Jadzia and Ezri. They're subtle, but they can make a world of difference.

They're both very fun to have around--fun-loving, playful, etc. It's the way in which they're fun which can make all the difference.


I believe it was Ira who described Jadzia as "one of the guys". That's how she's fun--as one of the guys. There's a slightly tomboyish air with her--though her fans tend to simply call it "a great deal of self-confidence". She loves practicing in the Klingon martial arts, playing round after round of tongo, that sort of thing. She has an "edge", if you will.

Ezri is not "one of the guys". She's a girl, and we see her as a girl. Characteristic of her is a sort of "maternal instict"--a nurturing nature, if you will. She's a great deal more warm, and thus she has more of a "caring" air.


You could both see them hanging out with "the guys"--but in different manners.

Jadzia would mold seamlessly into the scenario of "guy's night out", if you will--you could easily see her discussing the latest sports stuff, swapping "manly" stories, and even engaging in a drinking bout or two. (Knowing her--she'd win quite a few!)

Ezri would laugh at the guy's jokes, and perhaps cheer for a side in the drinking bout--but there'd still be a clear contrast between her and "the guys". You could see her charming the men with some tales of her own--but there'd be a noticable difference between her kind of subject matter and theirs.


Both smile and laugh a lot--but in highly different manners.

Jadzia's smirk, and laugh, is typically with a mocking air--her humor dry, her wit sharp and sarcastic. Precious little, if anything, seems sacred to her--her skewering remarks are legendary.

When Ezri smiles and/or laughs, her eyes sparkle, and her entire face lights up--she's certainly playful, but she laughs with the situation, not at it.
 
Jadzia, hands down. I don't find Ezri as annoying as some others do, but I do like Jadzia a lot more.
Although Ezri has become pretty cool in the relaunch novels...I won't spoil anything but she realizes more of her potential.
 
Ezri looks kinda cute, but when she talks I find her pretty annoying. She's one of those girls that talk too much.
Jadzia was awesome. She's the type of woman you'd sabotage the Risian weather control system for.
 
It just struck me that a Trill is like a Time Lord. LOL. That you can have the same character, but a different actor playing him or her, and it's perfectly explainable. That said, I loved both Daxes. I refuse to vote in this poll.

They're also basically the same as the Tok'ra in Stargate as they are a symbiote which is passed from person to person & joins with the host / retains knowledge / etc.

Yeah... but Tok'ra are boring. :devil:

The Tok'ra symbiote doesn't blend quite the same way with it's host, the two take turns controlling the body and don't 'become one' as completely as a Trill.
Okay, that has nothing to do with what this thread is supposed to be about... I was just sayin'...

I dunno. She rambles a bit in her "intro" scene in "Shadows", but other than that--she's not quite a chatterbox, her self-depricating moment in "Prodigal Daughter" notwithstanding.

She's pretty cool. Emphasis on "pretty", of course.

Or to go through this torment for:

Check, please.


Hmm...I wonder what Ezri would want for her honeymoon....
