Out of everything I love about the episode Rejoined, this is my personal favorite part. Because Kira never, ever thinks for even a second that there’s anything weird about Dax being with another woman. Moments like these are what make DS9 wonderful.

I have a massive amount of emotions and thoughts to wade through when it comes to “Rejoined” but I’ll attempt to be at least somewhat organized about it. More importantly, I will try not to dissolve into incoherent wailing every time I look at Jadzia’s face.

OKAY WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT REJOINED.
BECAUSE THAT WAS LADIES KISSING ON STAR TREK
THAT WAS AN UNAPOLOGETICALLY QUEER RELATIONSHIP
AND IT WAS IMPLIED THAT NOBODY GAVE A FUCK THAT IT WAS A QUEER RELATIONSHIP
WHICH IS A HUGE VICTORY
BUT IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN THAT
BECAUSE…
"To the audience, youâre playing out this metaphor of a taboo that youâre not supposed to be involved with somebody, and the audience sees these two women who are in love together, but the show will never ever comment on it, because itâs really about this Trill taboo, this completely other issue. But the idea of homosexual love is staring the audience in the face no matter what they do, but we never have to mention it in the show. It just became this lovely tale about these two forbidden lovers that just couldnât get over that one had died and didnât get a chance to say goodbye, and here they come together in these two other bodies, but what they once felt for one another is still there, but the societal taboo was so strong that one of them had to back out, one of them wasnât willing to take it all the way. It was just a lovely bit of Star Trek because it really was an allegory for our society, and thatâs ultimately what Trek does best."
