Do not go gentle into that good night, Dylan Thomas (+)

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I was hoping you’d say that.

[Dukat gets a lot of credit for being one of Trek’s most effective and well-acted villains, but I think Winn deserves just as much credit for being a vastly different yet equally deep antagonist. Every condescending word that slithered out of her mouth made my skin crawl, and her utter lack of charisma even in-universe was obviously deliberate. Yet she was still believable as a person and served as an excellent contrast to Dukat’s slimy “charms”. ]

[I’m incredibly sad that Jadzia died, but I can’t bring myself to wish it hadn’t happened. Ezri was one of my favorite parts of season 7, and if Jadzia hadn’t died we never would have met her. That being said Terry Farrell really got cheated out of a great role. And I will never forgive the producers for not including her in the ending montage.]

Except that they could have just done this same quirky, unconfident, off balance character without it having to be Dax.

Promote Jadzia to captain, realistic due to the war and their losses. She’s part of the 9th fleet which is home based at DS9, but she’s gone for a few episodes at a time.

Meanwhile a quirky new character named Ezri, a new counselor, is brought in also due to the war. Maybe she’s Trill, maybe Bajoran but Starfleet (which I’d do because only having one Bajoran on the show was a mistake.) She has all the same stories, minus awkward Worf and best friend Ben. But in their place she’s a friend for Jake or something, giving him more screen time.

You’d have to adjust “Field of Fire” to remove the Joran stuff, but you could replace it with her consulting with maybe a relative, her father? Who was a killer, but by virtue of killing Cardassians during the occupation, he got away with it until he couldn’t control himself after the withdrawal.

“Prodigal Daughter” could be virtually unchanged. The final chapter rescue of Worf plot would be a hiccup, but otherwise you’d have nothing significant to delete from the character by making get a Bajoran Starfleet Counselor rather than new Dax.

And you’d have Jadzia popping in. She’d show up in fleet battles. Her and worf might have relationship issues with her promotion, not resentment but strain of distance. Of knowing the dangerous classified missions she’s on by his post but not being able to do anything. You’d have the dynamic change of her being equal to Sisko and the evolution of the relationship. You’d have Bashir deal with his feelings and maybe he moves on to Ezri without it being creepy!

In the end Jadzia didn’t need to die and Ezri didn’t need to be Dax to have her be the same character. That’s the shame.
