However, Farrell has since revealed that leaving the show was not her decision. Farrell told StarTrek. As part of those negotiations, she asked to appear in fewer episodes. She wanted to come back as a recurring character in the seventh season rather than a member of the main cast. I just want to have a conversation. Farrell never reached an agreement with the producers and the studios. As a Trill, Jadzia was the eighth host of the Dax symbiont, which possessed the memories of all of its previous hosts, including Curzon Dax, the former Federation Ambassador to the Klingons and a mentor of Captain Benjamin Sisko Avery Brooks.
Although it took a couple of seasons for DS9 's writers to truly define Dax, the initially inexperienced Farrell gradually grew into the character, and Jadzia emerged as a highly intelligent, spirited woman beloved by both her crewmates and Star Trek fans. Worf Michael Dorn joining DS9 in season 4 was a boon to Dax, as the Klingon and Trill quickly sparked a romance that brought out fascinating new sides of both characters. Jadzia married Worf at the start of DS9 season 6 and they looked forward to a happy life together after the Dominion War was over — until Jadzia's senseless murder, which necessitated a huge revamp of DS9 season 7.
The full details of why Terry Farrell left Star Trek: Deep Space Nine have not been fully disclosed; Farrell has her side of the story while the producers and studios have their version of what happened. Altman and Edward Gross, Farrell requested that she appear in fewer episodes in season 7, essentially reducing her role to a recurring character. Instead, the actress claims the producers and the studio were trying "to bully me into saying yes [to signing onto a full season 7 schedule].
So, when the show's producers killed her off at the hands of a Pah-wraith-possessed Gul Dukat at the end of the Season 6 finale, the shock was almost too much to bear. It was a WTF moment for the ages — so deeply misguided that it forever altered the electric chemistry between the cast that made the show such a success. At that moment in the show, the Federation is struggling to survive an all-out war against the Dominion by convincing the Romulans to join the fight.
Convinced that the only way to defeat the Dominion in the Alpha Quadrant is to invade Cardassia, Sisko hatches a plan to destroy their weapons plants and shipyards. He acquires a Bajoran artifact and allows himself to be possessed by the Pah-Wraith contained within it.
While all this is happening, Dax and Worf contemplate their future interspecies baby. Fearing that they'll have trouble conceiving, they confer with Doctor Bashir, who promises to help them. Later, in a moment of heartbreaking foreshadowing, Worf tells Dax that she'll always be with him in his heart before departing on the Defiant with Sisko and the rest of the crew. Dax, now in charge of Deep Space Nine, reports back to sickbay, where Bashir informs her that she'll have no problem getting pregnant after all.
Elated, she goes to the Bajoran temple to say a prayer thanking the prophets. Her replacement was boring and I could not care less about her. Her relationship with Worf was one of my favorite pairs on star trek as well. Leaving to do Becker kinda did make sense, career-wise, since it was already assumed season seven would be it, so she could either do one more season or move on and potentially do many seasons of a new show. Not that I thought Becker was so great. However going from DS9 to a CBS tv comedy show like Becker was probably a tremendous boost in her career as she avoided for a brief period of time being typecast.
Jadzia was amazing, Worf and Jadzia were one of the best trek couples. They should have lived happily ever after with a dozen of babies with ridges and spots. I would have loved to see Ferrell continue in the show. She was a wonderful, strong feminine presence in the show and a very good actress. De Boer took some getting used to, for us and for the DS9 crew. It made for some interesting stories, though I felt Ezri never got her footing.
But she sure was awfully cute. Jadzia is a beautiful character inside and out, she had a warmth and a sense of humor the show needed.
It was a sad day when she died, I lost my interest on the series after she left. Wow I thought that was all planned. So the one character that was immortal in some way did not want to return. Dax was an easy one to replace because of the Dax sim.
That said I liked both dax characters. They both worked so well I thought it was planned. I cried when she died, the episode where she marries Worf is my favorite episode of the series. I need to do some re-runs. In fact I wish Star Trek was more daring and killed more characters off. It could have really messed up the symbiont which required that she go back to Trill and then have sub-space conversations like when Neelix stayed in touch with Voyager after he left.
They could have had eps where Worf visited her but I guess if the war was on it would have been dangerous for anyone to travel…. Loved her sarcasm and love of life. So pissed that they killed her.
Unless they were mad at Terry. Completely disappointed me. She was one of my favourites. And I hated that Odo left Nerys. All they had to do there was have him say that he was just going back to heal his people and stay for a while to get to know them, then return to her.
Jadzia, dead.
