I'd be angrier if this episode called itself "Jadzia," because that would have been misleading. We learn a lot about Curzon here, but very little about Jadzia. Also, where's our feminist compass for this episode? Bashir is clearly creepy for not taking an explicit "no" as a "yes," but his refusal to hit someone (ostensibly) because they're a woman? How the story makes it good that he follows Jadzia? That Sisko wants to punch Curzon, but doesn't punch Jadzia, but only because she's a woman? Trill episodes, to their merit, put gender reckoning into a tailspin so I'm at a loss. Nine Deeps of Space is a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine watchalong podcast. New episodes usually go up Sunday evenings at 10 PM CST. Episodes are hosted on Anchor, but are available on most podcast platforms.
