This one just felt like an absolute muddle. Like they started off with a concept – probably the love interest – then just started layering on story to try and justify it yet making it more muddled.

Compared to Necessary Evil… well, just leagues apart. This felt like something they pulled off a shelf as they were desperate.

As with the first two seasons of TNG, the first two of DS9 had some real head scratcher episodes. And “Second Sight” was certainly one of those episodes. Of the various continuity errors of this episode, I hadn’t considered the use protomatter after the Genesis planet fiasco as one of them.

Since he was never married to her/him as Curzon Dax, it wouldn’t be a reassociation. It was the same deal with Beverly Crusher being the one to end things with Odan rather than the other way around. On the other hand, “Rejoined” did hint that keeping in touch with parents and siblings of a previous host was also frowned upon.

“I get that it might be as strange to date someone you call “old man” as it would be to date someone you knew as a callow youth in a previous life, but I always thought Sisko and Dax had both great chemistry and similar values and in a different version of reality would have made a great couple, as they did in the mirror universe.”

Would the Trill rules about reassociation prevent that? I was never quite clear on those.

Excellent review, Michelle.
Read it with my head nodding in agreement.
