    Curzon is such wasted character. I mean that guy could be literally Federation version of James Bond. He was a spy, diplomat and a playboy. His life would be great material for a new ST show.

      Not sure about “wasted,” but he definitely would be interesting to see revisited in his own lifetime. He’s yet another DS9 character who was mentioned far more often than seen on-screen, but you felt you knew exactly who he was.

      I was thinking the same thing. She's obviously on the young side for her species in those episodes, since she's worried about her father tracking her down (so clearly, not considered fully adult), but who can say how old that is? That's the 19th century, and she's still pretty hale and healthy in the 24th century. Enough so that Q is afraid of her.

    Am I old? As a pre-teen I watched the original series, and now I have grands who watch Trek… so no, no I'm not… at least not old enough to be worthy of the list.

    • @saschaberger3212
      @saschaberger3212 Месяц назад +4

      Whose mind has the upper hand? The symbiont or the host? Watching Dax interact it looks always like it's 100% the symbiont

    • @KristenK78
      @KristenK78 27 дней назад

      It wouldn’t give you an advantage in learning new skills, unless it was similar to something a previous host had learned.
      And it wouldn’t just be “knowledge” like downloading an encyclopedia. It would also be other entire lifetimes, with all the emotional highs and lows of those previous lives, suddenly living in your head.
      While there are certainly problems with how the Symbiosis Commission claimed that only a tiny percentage of Trill were suitable for joining, the enormity of merging multiple psyches into one host does at least make the “why” a bit easier to understand.

      @EinsteinsHair Месяц назад

      I agree, but think some people will not like a low budget movie, that is mostly people talking, and mostly set at three locations. Better than its sequel, The Man From Earth: Holocene. But if you like SciFi that has no special effects, and is mostly people talking, I would also recommend Coherence, and The God Question, although they have nothing to do with the topic of this video.

    Although Jadzia isn't Curzon, Jadzia is not Curzon himself and she has his memories and Curzon lives on within her due to the Dax Symbiont in her stomach. The Dax Symbiont has lived for thousands of years due to inhabiting the bodies if it's Trill hosts.

    You should do a video about 10 fake Star Trek production myths which still circulate among the fanbase despite having been debunked for a long time.
    For example:
    - Lucille Ball "saved Star Trek" and was personally invested in "Gene Roddenberry's vision"
    - Martin Landau was considered for the role of Spock
    - NBC disliked the female first officer character in "The Cage"
    - NBC disliked the diversity in the show and wanted everyone be white
    - Nichelle Nichols was paid less than her co-stars and Leonard Nimoy stood up for her to get equal pay
    - Star Trek: TOS was a low budget series
