So, uh, I went on a quest of drawing all my favorite DS9 characters, which is everyone So, stay tuned! :D
“You know that woman?”
“I know her. She used to be my wife.”I just love this scene so much and I want to unpack it a little… First off, I love that they play it off at first like these two are enemies. And all the build towards who they are to each other. Then, how Kahn doesn’t even bother with the pleasantries of saying hello to anyone else. She just locks eyes with Dax and it’s like no one else is even there. The way they both seem to be staring each other down. And in the third gif where they go to shake hands, it’s obvious the actresses fumbled with the take, too busy sustaining eye contact. Normally, something like that would bug me, but honestly it just works here because it shows you how intense while at the same time how nervous both characters are. And then the way Jadzia’s eyes trail on Lenara long after she’s out of the shot followed by the huge sigh of relief Dax let’s out, presumably once the Trill landing party has turned the bend and is no longer in sight… Gah! Seriously this scene was just so good it gives me chills!!
Whatever happened to that young, callow ensign I used to know? The one who used to turn to me for advice all the time? You know, the one with hair?
