My vote is for Ezri. Sure, Jadzia was the more well rounded character but I’ve always preferred the angsty and neurotic Ezri… the one that had this great “gift” thrust upon her that she never wanted and was unprepared for the torturous adaptation it would take for her to be able to sort out eight prior lives, ranging over hundreds of years. Plus, she’s hotter. ;j ---

I must be the only heterosexual male Trekkie without a major Dax fixation. I never understood the drooling over any of the iterations. Now Kira, both “regular” and Mirror Universe, or Seven of Nine, or Belanna Torres, or even Kes in her later episodes, sure. But Dax? Feh. ---

Well, see, I’m apparently the only Trekkie out there without a Seven fixation. I’m all about both Daxes, Leeta, Hoshi, and Torres. ---

Ezri was cute, but, as you said, Jadzia is hot! Seven does nothing for me. Neither does Kira, Leeta, Torres, nor T’Pol. Hoshi’s okay. ---

Jadzia was hotter. Ezri always seemed like an annoying kid sister. But Seven of Nine…rworrr! 🙂 ---

Man, this isn’t even a contest. This isn’t even something close to a contest. Jadzia Dax wins hands down in every category! Ezri? With all due respect (and I really do respect some of you), WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!?!? Um. Anyway. Jadzia wins. ---

Yes, let me join this geekfest! 🙂 Erzi (Nicole De Boer) = very cute, but alas she was only on for one season. She had a cute Girl next door look… Jadzia (Terry Ferrell) = Nah, let Worf have her… Now, put me down as a yes for Linda Park (Hoshi) , a maybe on Jolene Blalock (T’Pol). A no on Jeri Ryan as 7 of 9, but oddly she’s quite nice as herself (first time I saw her without the Borg makeup was in a UPN intro to ‘Year of Hell’ - she looks like a party girl! Ra!) 🆒 Going back, Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar) was cool too, and who didn’t like Marina Sirtis as Troi By the time you go back to TOS, those Beehive hairdos and hairspray helmets do NOT hold up well fashion wise on the various actresses of the day… Finally, keep in mind none of these actresses have any idea that I’m alive, and it will probably stay that way… :smack: ---

All of these trollops are mere stumpets compared to the two iterations of Lt. Saavik. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Aesiron \* > \*\*My vote is for Ezri. > > Sure, Jadzia was the more well rounded character\*\* See… I don’t even agree with this. She was a FLAT character. Especially once they started playing up the Klingon thing. ‘Ar! Despite the fact I’m in this oh-so-feminine body, I like beating things up with the men with the funky foreheads! Ar!’ ad nauseum. Ezri wasn’t really much more fleshed out, but she had an excuse - 1 season’s a whole lot less to develop over than 6. Anyway…Ezri owns. ---

EZRI DAX ! I welcomed the fresh blood on the set. Rick Berman: “This show is going down hill” WRITER: “Let’s get in a war.” Rick “Yeah, rock on! That’ll keep em watching!” WRITER: “Lets have a cloaking device.” Rick: “I know now why I hired you!” WRITER: “Lets kill Jadzia, and get a some fresh faces around here” Rick: “Excellent!” …etc ---

Jadzia. She was the ultimate kick-ass chick. But she still pales to Hoshi… ---

[comic book guy] **Terry Ferrell** - Hottest. Trek. Babe. Ever. [/comic book guy] Cuter than Ezri, Janeaway (had I thing for her since Mrs. Columbo), Hoshi, T’pol, Seven, Deanna, Yoeman Rand, Sally Kellerman… ---

Jadzia all the way. What a bad-ass. Mirror Universe Kira is one of my favorites, too. ---

Doesn’t Jadzia outrank Ezri? Aren’t you also forgetting Crewman Dax, from ST:VI? The one who didn’t fit the gravity boots? I’ll chime in with Susie Plakson’s characters- Selar and the Klingon chick with the name I can’t spell, Alexander’s mother and Worf’s old flame. Or, give me B’Etor. She bites. ---

Keh’lar, if my Klingon spelling holds true… As for looks…eh, they’re both attractive in their own right… as for character, I just liked Jadzia’s confidence more than Ezri’s lack thereof…she seemed too meek, imo ---

I used to like Jadzia, till she turned into a shill for “Becker”. Now count me in the Ezri camp, all the way. Those quiet, wholesome type chicks are always the ones that will rock your world!..Timmy ---

Could go either way, but on pure hubba hubba, the Risa episode – for both the scene with Vanessa Williams and the bathing suit – clinches it for Jadzia. About B’Elanna, I think she’s hot, but interestingly enough I think she’s actually better-looking than Roxanne Dawson. –Cliffy ---

Jadzia was superior to Ezri in every measurable way. And that was the point, really. And it was done in a very good way. So I’ll take either to watch, but Jadzia if I need an away team. But Ezri’s cuter. ---

If I can’t vote for Janeway, I’ll go with Ezri. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/jadzia-vs-ezri-which-dax-reigns-supreme/222530.md?page=2)
