According to Ronald D. Moore, “some felt betrayed, didn’t want to see this in their homes. An affiliate down south cut the kiss from their broadcast.” Similarly, René Echevarria says, “my mother was absolutely scandalized by the episode. Shocked and dismayed. She told me ‘I can’t believe you did that. There should have been a parental guidance warning’.” Steve Oster says that a man called the show and complained, “you’re ruining my kids by making them watch two women kiss like that.” Much of the public response mirrored that of the famous Kirk-Uhura kiss in the original series episode.

There is a story regarding the man complaining about his kids seeing the kiss: It was a production assistant who took the call. After hearing the man’s complaint, the PA asked if the man would’ve been okay with his kids seeing one woman shoot the other. When the man said he would be okay with that, the PA said “You should reconsider who’s messing up your kids.

DAX I can’t believe you did that.
KIRA He didn’t leave me any choice.
BASHIR What did she do?
DAX She knocked out Lancelot.
KIRA He kissed me.
DAX He’s supposed to kiss you.
KIRA But I was playing a married woman.
BASHIR Lieutenant Commander Worf, this is Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax, and Major Kira Nerys, our first officer.
WORF (to Kira) Nice hat.
KIRA (defensive) I don’t always dress like this. We were in the holosuite…
WORF So I gathered. (turns to Dax) You used to be Curzon Dax.
DAX That’s right. (smiling) And I don’t usually dress like this either.
WORF Curzon’s name is an honored one among my people.
DAX (mischievous, in Klingon) Louk, a jeek CHIM-ta law. (Yeah, but I’m a lot better looking than he was.)
malachitegrey:
Wow, “Trials and Tribble-ations” is really something. OF COURSE Julian thinks he’s part of a predestination paradox with his own great-grandmother and OF COURSE Dax has a crush on Spock and possibly slept with McCoy.
I know this is small comfort, but I never intended you any harm.
