    So let’s imagine a DS9 sequel series or TV movie is green lit and you’re the producer. Does Jadzia come back? If so how? Or does Terry Farrell come back in some other way? Or is she not in it at all?

        It’s television. Things can happen. Trills didn’t originally have spots either. They just changed it.

          Are Trills mentioned prior to DS9?

                This is probably why Trill have to undergo years of training before joining, to keep their personalities more merged in.

                It could also be that Dax prefers to be more passive in its relationship with its host compared to Odan. This makes sense because if the point of Joining is to gain new experiences, overpowering the host won’t let the symbiote learn.

                  Didn’t they reveal the training was bs and anothrr way for the symbiotes to exert control? Ezri had no training and did just fine.

                    I thought the big reveal was that almost all trill could be joined successfully, but since there weren’t enough symbionts to go around they pretend that it’s only a select few that can?

                    I mean, she slept with Worf, which is the one thing she’s not supposed to do.

                    And like I said, there may be a difference in personalities between symbionts in how dominant they are. Plus Dax had lived through 8 pairings and knew Ezri wasn’t trained. It could regulate.

                    Ezri constantly talked about how she would forget her own identity if she didn’t consciously reassert it.

          I always thought we really missed out on a chance for there to be a more intense overwriting of Ezra with Jadzia, or one of the other hosts. She seemed so meek! Give me a St. Alia situation, where the current host can’t stand against the memories of previous ones, and make it more compelling than taboos and stuff!
