It's just jadzia just like in the mirror universe

Was it ever mentioned if hosts keep the symbiont's memories after it has been removed?

That Joe McAverage guy who stole Dax in S1 (?) said no and looked p.gutted by the experience.

E: It was Season 2 Episode 4 (Netflix reckoning, I DGAF if the actual air-dates were different.)

If Jake hosed alt-universe Jennifer Sisko is that still, like, bad?

My gut feeling would be "yes" (they still share DNA and genes or whatever, right?) but he sure seems to wanna?

:ohno::hf::shudder:

E: Although watching the cast get to Community Theater themselves up different roles every few episodes is always :3:.

Actually I think you'll find Klingon Chef has right of first mention in any genericized list of DS9 characters? It's a primus inter pares thing?

Yep. I'm also struggling to think of a non-heternormative relationship (for the current host) of either Jadzia's or Kurzon's. Hell, even Odo, who comes from a race for which sexual dimorphism is meaningless, only hooks up with femme-presenting aliens.

Considering how deep the show goes into racial and (heteronormative) gender equality, the tiptoeing around queerness kinda sticks out in a modern rewatching.

Wasn't one of Dax's former host's wives in one of the episodes in like S3?

I mean, you can get into the male gazeyess of the only queer relationship being a (very brief) lesbian one but it was there.

I'll be honest and say that the whole "former hosts" thing (and the cortical stacks thing in A Memory Called Empire) is :shudder: as gently caress for me, sexually and cognitively?

IMO Data obviously needs stricter observation and restriction of duties that could impact the wellbeing of the crew. There’s a careless darkness in him evidenced by this almost accurate, but slightly augmented for convenience, Hawking.

Suffer not the silica animus to live, for ruin shall be its purpose.

I'm not saying we should go Butlerian on Data's pasty rear end, but we should go Butlerian on Data's pasty rear end.

Season 3 premiere, when they bring in the Defiant.

I miss "'ol Tex" (as I've decided he's called). He was pleasingly :downs:.

While Eddington is a dishonorable renegade and traitor.

IIRC the Texan guy disappears after the episode where he commits at least one massive security fuckup from second-guessing Odo

But that's just part of 'ol Tex's folksy charm!

and yeah, Ron Moore said it was just assumed Klingons mature a bit faster than humans, and expected they wouldn't have to explain that in show that he turned up as a mid-teen equivalent at age of ten.

He forget he was writing for SciFi fans or something?
