gdog243 0 Posted April 26, 2003 Was Jadzia intended to be kind of like a riker character on DS9 in terms of personality? There seems to be so many similarities between the 2 such as how they were in the first season. I was watching "Battle Lines" last night and after watching season 2, Season 1 dax seems so stale and flat and boring...kind of like how Will Riker was in the first season. However, when the second season rolled around, her personality took a 180 degree turn and it was great to see. Also, not only in personlity, but they both seem to be the guy/gal who always gets the significant other. I mean women were all over riker (I heard that he was supposed to be a Kirk like character) and the same could be said with Dax. Its going to be fun watching her development again because she is a great character and Farrel did a great job. Sucks she left though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
~Crims~ 0 Posted April 26, 2003 Maybe, I don't think DS9 had a Riker though, there is only one Riker, hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted April 26, 2003 Maybe, I don't think DS9 had a Riker though, there is only one Riker, hehe :) Actually two, after TNG's Second Chances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was a good character (my favourite in DS9, which is probably why she died :laugh:) but I didn't notice her getting ALL the guys (of course, I haven't been watching for very long...?)

savien 0 Posted April 28, 2003 I dont think she had all of the guys... but you can tell that they all were attracted to her in some way... most obvious being Bashir, Quark, and Worf... Little hard for Sisko seeing as he saw Kurzon Dax... But agreed... there is only one Riker :wub: even if there is 2 of em Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NordicBearskin 0 Posted May 13, 2003 Only in speaclised circumstances... I loathed Riker and loved Jadzia Dax. I'm not completley sure why but I always just thought that Riker was just too rash and unemotional as a character. Whereas Jadzia acts more like a real person and made me feel different emotions and perspectives of things... (Riker only made me feel a slight indegestion) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whereas Jadzia acts more like a real person and made me feel different emotions and perspectives of things... (Riker only made me feel a slight indegestion) I might agree with you if we were talking about season 1 riker. He was stale, bland, and didn't feel real enough. However, just like Jadzia (Who also lacked emotion in season one IMO) he was able to lighten up and actually be himself. It was great to see real personalities being portrayed on screen.

NordicBearskin 0 Posted May 13, 2003 I just didn't think that Riker's character changed at all. Nothing happened to him that changed how he saw things or how he felt and he didn't show any progression as a character. That said, having just this minute watched Star Trek: Generations, my metaphorical hat goes off to Commander Riker for his sterling performance in that movie. Hmmm, perhaps I have been too rash and unemotional in my judgement of Riker... ( = Riker. He is now officialy cool) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prometheus 0 Posted May 14, 2003 They certainly both enjoyed their lovin and drinkin and were both quite witty. But Riker was a little more serious I think. Just a little though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KayTroi 0 Posted May 20, 2003 Jadzia Dax is similar to Will Rikker. She has been known to flurt with the best of them-men and women. It does not matter. I guess she said love is love anyway you look at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KayTroi 0 Posted May 26, 2003 Maybe,Jadzia was modeled a little after Rikker but as many have mentioned There can only be one William T. Rikker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddillard 2 Posted May 26, 2003 Maybe,Jadzia was modeled a little after Rikker but as many have mentioned There can only be one William T. Rikker. There can definitely be only one Riker. And Dax was a completely different character and behaved completely different as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdigs 0 Posted May 27, 2003 In all seriousness..Jadzia and Riker are way to far apart to be considered alike.They both have extremly different pasts, which is what makes a person. Trill joining aside, Jadzia and Rikerdon't have anything in common whatsoever. (IMO) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ezri Dax 0 Posted June 11, 2003 In all seriousness..Jadzia and Riker are way to far apart to be considered alike.They both have extremly different pasts, which is what makes a person I agree. And they had really different posts too. Dax is a science officer, Riker is a command officer. So, their roles wasn't the sames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeeingEyeBorg 0 Posted December 26, 2007 I thought of Dax as the Guinan of DS9...you know, the long-lived mortal whom the captain goes to for advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
