Seriously? Why? All the comments left about her which Ive read seem to indicate people like her just because she's hot, it also probably helps that shes the only Trek female who seems like they might be into Trek, and by extension Trek nerds.
Is that the only reason people like her? I just dont understand her character at all, or why they bothered including her in the series. Shes bought aboard as a counselor, but the one time she could actually shine as a counselor (with hop-a-long Nog) she totally sucked at it. She had two episodes devoted to her, and they both sucked. Her relationship with Bashir was totally forced was zero passion. It also sucked. I cant think of one thing she did (apart from Worf and Bashir) that couldnt have been done by someone else.
Dont get me wrong, I wasnt a huge fan of Jadzia. I liked her when she was in the background of other peoples stories, not so much when the episode was actually about her, a bit like Quark. However, she did seem, most of the time, to be a being with seven lifetimes of experience, and I never got that from Ezri. I mean you can talk about her not being initiated properly and not knowing how to deal with it and stuff until the cows come home, but essentially these are just excuses. I would imagine that if you dumped a Trill symbiant into someone who had no training for it, that person would be pretty messed up for a while, and again that did not happen with Ezri.
I think the main problem was timing. The series had one season left, and it had a lot to pack into that season. There really wasnt much time to introduce a completely new character. They have to introduce her, develop her, and make those developments pay off in a ridiculously short time, with a whole season to end at the same time. They could have introduced her at the beginning of season six and it would probably have worked, but placing a new character in an ending series felt like someone slamming a car into reverse at 90mph.
I think it would have been much better if they just killed the whole Dax symbiant as well as Jadzia. Can you imagine how much more impact that would have had? Dukat would have killed not just one of Sisko's greatest friends, but two of them! Plus six other lives and the potential for numerous more. That also would have meant feeling the loss of Dax a lot more, as it was her death barely meant anything, because there was a new one there the next episode. Someone told me that Jadzia died at the end of series six, what I imagined was maybe some Jem-Hadar stabbing Jadzia in the gut, having her lose the symbiant before dieing herself, I thought that would be awesome, but instead they totally screwed it up.
So, why do you like/hate Ezri?
