The flaws of Ezri Dax

[Fencer]

How is being short a flaw?

You can't reach items on the top shelf.

Its' the future! Just beam it down from the top shelf! Or Turn down/off the gravity and get it that way. Or just replicate a new one.

Besides Nikki's slightly over the average height for USA/Canadian women.

You might as well say that Jadzia's flaws were that she was tall,

More likely to attract lightning.

Or bump your head in doorways. Or have trouble getting into confined spaces with a low roof. And it's certainly a disadvantage if you have to crawl through tubes or tiny corridors for an escape/sabotage mission...

Or being emotional?

*Insert Spock quote here*

Insert some Sybok/Tolaris proselytizing.

Okay, let me understand.......Ezri has flaws??

Well, she should have been on the show about five seasons sooner... running late is a flaw.

BUMP!

Ask and ye shall receive Rush.

Ezri Dax and Bashir: Talk about rushed.

I'm reading Professor Ina Rae Hark's exegesis of Star Trek, and while it's really awesome, I think she actually puts this in the category of "long-term relationships." It is implied, I suppose, but as far as screentime goes she screwed him once. :blink: That said, DS9 was the only show that even remotely attempted to deal with (remotely) mature relationships. Specifically regarding that one, I thought it was decently well set-up--it had some childish aspects to it, but given the two characters, it actually made sense this time. Both were essentially adult children, Ezri through what was basically a rebirth, and Bashir, well, that's just what he was.

And what's so wrong with with being an adult child? I find it quite rewarding myself.

NOTHING!! I am one myself. Like, totally.

Ezri had one flaw: Bad hair.

That is all.

amen brother.
it has actually been proved scientifically that children live a happier life than adults. thats why i live by the motto:
"You're young only once, but you can be immature forever."

that's a matter of opinion. i kind of like short hair on girls.

The older I get the prouder I am of my immaturity. All I have to do is look at lot of my peers and feel quite pleased with myself (in a childish way).

^ same here my friend. immaturity is an art

just wanted to add something. the four best threads in TrekBBS:

 

[Bishop76]

Ezri had one flaw: She wasn't Jadzia

 

[Captain MAJ]

Ezri's Only flaw is that she kept her clothes on the whole seventh season...

I just love the Worf's penis thread. It makes me all warm and runny inside.

You know, I just realized that I bumped all of those thread except for "Was Ezri Dax too flat chested?"

 

[TheGodBen]

Oh for crying out loud... Why don't you just bump every Evil Ezri thread?!

I reject the assumption made by the thread's title, therefore I have nothing to add other than my desire to bitch and moan about everything.

There's something good about being an "old soul", who is also "young at heart".

Now...as for Ms. Hark's catergorizing of Ezri/Julian as "long-term", I think it has something to do with the gradual build-up to their eventual kiss.

It makes it believable. At first Julian seems to want to continue the flirting he did with Jadzia (to Ezri, anyway)--and Ezri basically gives him the cold shoulder on that. Still, something clicks in their first meeting, and they become friends right away.

We then see them interact more and more, getting closer and closer together. (One of my favorite Ezri/Julian moments: In "Prodigal Daughter", just after the opening credits, as he sees her off. They have a moment of fun interaction with each other. Check out her smile when she asks where his report is. )

I think the big moment between them--when the romance started to simmer (without either of them realizing it)--is in "Field of Fire", as the two stand over Illario's coffin. The way he supports her, and the way she accepts is, is very touching--and makes me look forward to the day when Julian mans up and proposes....

Ezri's Only flaw is that she kept her clothes on the whole seventh season...

Her clothes, yes (except the finale, of course). Her uniform, no. See "Penumbra". (To this day, I'm still not convinced that she and Worf went any further.)

But seriously...I think her restraint in that matter adds to her attractiveness, if you think about it. There something about restraint--effectively, keeping one's self "pure", not making it cheap. It adds meaning to the "conquest", as it were.

I've always said the most believable romance in all of Trek is Ezri and Julian.

^ I wouldn't go that far. As I'm sure everyone knows, I love Ezri. But I wasn't impressed with the Ezri-Bashir relationship - probably because I wanted her to end up with Quark.

I think the most believeable romance in Trek is Miles and Keiko.
