Eh, I thought the replacement of Dax was a little shark-jumpy
Good point. I wish they hadn't replaced her at all. They should have let Dax get a new host and move on to another place.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

On the other hand, watching the other characters' reaction to New!Improved!Dax was fun for the writers and viewers.

In a perfect world Dax would have come back with a male host to really confuse things, but as much as I'm sure that some people (actors and writers) on DS9 would have loved to do it, the powers that be on Trek as a whole would have never let it happen.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Has the Trek 'verse ever done the gay thing?
OK, Riker fell for an androgyne but I think that was as close as they got....

Yeah, if you recall in the story that introduced Trills, the dealbreaker for Beverly Crusher was not that she was falling for a symbiotic eggplant-looking creature, or that it was essentially possessing one of her friends while wooing her, but that its new host body had boobs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

To bring the conversation full circle, Kira sort of made out with her (mirrorverse) self, I don't know if that counts.

Oh, Indendent Kira made the moves on anything female, IIRC.

Hi, ChiKat! t Kermit-waves wildly
I always got the impression from her that she viewed males as being more boy-toys than seduction targets--she saved that for her female prey.

On the other hand, watching the other characters' reaction to New!Improved!Dax was fun for the writers and viewers.I liked it because it satisfied my series-long craving for Dax/Bashir 'shippage, which I'd lost all hope for until Ezri. Jadzia/Worf never did it for me.
Also, Dax fully had a smooch with a girl. Don't remember if it was another Trill, but it was definitely a case of lover-from-a-previous-life one way or the other. The shows-about-television at the time were all comparing it to the first interracial kiss on the original Trek, because that's the sort of thing they say.
