Well, daddy and Green Pea are out cold, so it's time for mommy to take a little private time for fannish endeavours.

Since coming home from the hospital, we've been watching season 7 of DS9. It's been a wonderful time just breastfeeding and watching trek. Never too early to introduce Green Pea to the good stuff either. :oP

But with the coming of season 7, there is also Ezri. And I promised myself (and a few people on my flist) that I would keep an open mind about her. I have... and... well...

7 episodes in and I have formed my first impression of her. And I have to say... Ezri Dax... me no likey. But funny enough, I think I would like Ezri Tigan quite well! She's sweet and caring and surely not as confused as the mess she becomes after joining. Ezri Dax is an annoying chatterbox with little common sense left in her over-crowded cranium and for some odd reason there is WAY too much focus on her space sickness.

And I cannot even begin to say how unhappy I was with the Afterimage episode. That was just bad on SO SO SO many levels. And a Garak episode no less! In my view, the writers screwed Garak's character over completely in favour of Ezri's development. GAH!

As for the Ezri/Julian romance coming, I think the writers did that on a whim. There seemed to be absolutely NO hints of it in the early Ezri episodes. Even though Julian is supposed to be going gooey over everything with boobs, he can't even see Ezri that way and calls Quark crazy for suggesting it. Actually, I find it OOC for Julian. And what about the Sarina thing? One episode he's saying how he's found his perfect match and how he loves her and so on and so on... and only months later, suddenly, he's all over the woman he couldn't even imagine himself going for earlier? Confused...

Maybe Ezri is his rebound? Makes sense... War often makes people do strange things.

I would love to believe that all of Garak's behaviour in this episode could be conceived as a ruse to make Ezri completely bonkers and get Bashir to notice him again. But there is not even the slightest hint of any such plot written into the lines or anything. And Garak seems to like the lies the best when people are aware that he is actually lying. GAH! THE OOC-ness!!!

Good point about the romantic attachments. But that just gives another good reason why she really shouldn't have stayed on DS9. Worf does what Jadzia told him was her custom and keeps his distance (I don't think it's all grief), but Ezri is just SO determined to "talk things through". I don't mind shrinks, but she really is annoying about it.
