The Trill and the Symbiosis Commission

Perhaps this is why Ezri Tigan was not interested in being joined.She wanted no part of the snobbery of her society.
A liked the way Kell Perim described the symbionts as creatures that incepted their way into the lives of the Trill to give themselves more mobility and expand their lives and, generation over generation, convince unjoined people it should be desirable to be a host and eventually take over the entire culture.
Then again, I would love to be joined. Good old marketing.

And then what if Ranul was to be joined with a symbiont who also lost a partner to the Borg; he might totally just lose it.
From A Time to Harvest?
Indeed, forgot to mention that!
Wasn't that an emergency joining because because the previous host (was it Torias?) was killed in a shuttle accident?
I haven't read this whole thread yet, was there ever a joined Trill who was assimilated by the Borg in any Trek Lit?
Nope, the Symbiosis Commission had selected him as a candidate, he wasn't a random Trill.
I can't think of any? And Memory Beta isn't turning up any in Treklit that I can find.
Yes, that was the whole reason Joran's existence was covered up -- because it exposed a flaw in the Commission's selection standards.
IIRC, Joran was egotistical and rather unstable even before he was joined, but afterward, it just made things worse. I think all of his murders were committed after his joining with Dax.
So why was he picked then? Did someone curry favor???
I can only assume that Joran was intelligent and cunning enough to pass the screening. He probably wanted to be joined and actively plotted to get himself selected for it.
That was my assumption, too. Some mentally instable people are clever enough to hide their state until the day they freak out....
They probably do, but no screening process is infallible.
