That was rather my problem with her. I'd have liked to see Bashir grow out of that and find someone... someone else.
Also good.
I'm still imagining how cool it would have been to have Dax back as a man. Whole new dynamic.
Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God.

I can't really explain it with TNG, when I first watched it I was totally into the episodes. Yay and good. But looking back and watching them again, I like them but they don't have the same emotional impact.
This is me. Plus, I found out that I don't really like most of TNG's characters.

Oh hell yeah. Worf would have had some severe issues with that. I don't think Sisko would have though, since he always referred to Jadzia as "Old man" - they had such a great friendship, too.
And Bashir could still have ended up with his twu wuv - Garek.

Comic goldmine, that.

He really was all about the man-crushes, wasn't he? What a cutie.

Me too, strangely. I was full of the TNG love when it was on, but whenever I check which episodes are playing on Spike (nee TNN), even the really good ones are not enough to make me watch them again.
And I think I still like most of the characters, but I've grown to loathe what was done with them.
Heavy groundwork was laid during the series for Data to evolve his own genuine, natural emotions. Multiple episodes dealt with it, and hinted that Data would acheive them on his own. I felt this was a wonderful and moving story line.
They make the FIRST MOVIE, and just permanently fuse the emotion chip into his head, and years worth of work, and everything that made Data interesting, flew right ot the frelling airlock.
I've never forgiven Berman and Braga for that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But then they killed him, Sean, so ... it's starting from scratch.

Was that in the last movie? I never saw it.
Don't worry about spoiling me, I don't care any more, although I may have to go rent it tonight, if it's out on video yet.

But then they (whited out), Sean, so ... it's (whited out).
Ack!
Edited to despoil, but I can't do whitefont in quotes.

Okay, I whited that out, because I realise I thought the movie came out yonks ago. I apologise strenuously for all the people I spoiled.
More details: They did indeed kill him, but they found a proto-Data, so wotsisname still has a job.

And why didn't they have early 19th-Century Methos more often?
An excellent question. Early 19th-Century Methos had adorable floppy hair. Early 19th-Century Methos entertained the idea of threesomes.
