    Trills didn’t originally have spots either

    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.
