Star Trek: DS9 4x15 “Destiny”

I never connected this with the revelation later in the episode that showing anger is Cardassian flirting. This is like telling someone you had drinks with Shakespeare and he was rubbing his foot against your leg all night.

I HAD NOT THOUGHT OF THIS…… tfw one of your past hosts met Cardassian Ovid and didn’t realize that he was flirting

god i love this moment. i love sisko. he so clearly is thinking “one girl’s life IS worth more than eight life times of knowledge and experience.” like this guy could not have said a worse thing to sisko in order to plead his case. not only does it expose exactly how he wants a joining for all the wrong reasons, assuming it’s about power and being someone “better” rather than simply “different.”

sisko has already had this great moment of defending not just jadzia dax but jadzia alone, and his goodness in being able to see both their singular values, his ease in respecting both creatures in all the ways jadzia dax and jadzia are the same and not, and how frickin noble he is!! i just!!

i also think this is what jadzia dax and sisko have most in common. this sort of honor-ability. sisko grows to respect jadzia specifically when she protect’s curzon’s previous lover. and then sisko protects jadzia in a way that implies he think more of her than simply the worm once joined to his dear friend. i love them.

Sisko: Who are you to decide who lives and who dies? Who are you to make that call?!
Yedrin Dax: I have to make that call because I’m responsible for what happened here!

Chakotay: How long would they survive if the Doctor deactivated this interlink network you created?
Seven: A month at most.
Chakotay: A month as an individual, or a lifetime as a drone. Which option would you choose?

[ID: 13 gifs from season 3, episode 1 “the search, part 1” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show benjamin sisko and jadzia dax in the wardroom. jadzia is seated while sisko is standing in front of a monitor.

1st gif: “you know, after jennifer died, i never thought i would see you this passionate about something again.” jadzia tells sisko.

2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th gif: the camera shifts to sisko, who has his arms are crossed in front of him and takes a couple of steps forward, the camera moves with him, “two months ago, i would have agreed with you.” he takes a seat, and the camera focuses on him. “then i went back to earth and i spent all those weeks debriefing at starfleet headquarters. and i… i used to get a thrill just walking into that building. i’d look around at the admirals and think, “one day, that’s going to be me.” “one day, i’m the one that’s going to be making the big decisions."” sisko is slightly smiling at the end.

7th gif: jadzia laughs as she recalls, “curzon always thought that was very funny.”

8th, 9th gif: the camera cuts to sisko, “did he?” then back to jadzia as she explains, “what i mean is he could never see a set of admiral stars on your collar. he thought that just making the decisions would never satisfy you. you had to implement them – “

10th gif: a shift to show sisko listening to jadzia, “see the results, face the consequences.”

11th gif: “curzon always thought you were the kind of man who had to be in the thick of things – not behind some desk at headquarters.”

12th gif: “he was a smart old man, wasn’t he?” sisko gets up and returns to the monitor.

13th gif: “he’d like to think so.” jadzia confirms. /end ID]

terry farrell is like So genderful in her performance as dax & it drives me bonkers bc it’s impossible to explain to people without them seeing it. like you show them a picture & she just looks like a beautiful woman & you have to be like no I Swear. she Sells the woman who’s also sort of a man thing. watch her move and talk and you’ll Get It. but then you also feel a bit crazy as you say it
