3.0 out of 5 stars Okay, Could have been done better, May 6, 2000

This review is from: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 71: Facets [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I just got finished reading a review of mine which 15 people found unhelpful, so I'm going to try to be more constructive in my comments.

Here goes: Too much time was devoted to Curzon. All the other hosts (the one exception being Joran) had about a minute to make there existense and personality known. Curzon got half the hour, and Curzon was the only past host Jadzia talked about in most of the episodes, so we already knew much more about him then any other host. Otherwise, this was a pretty good episode.

Now watch, I'll probably get 15 more "unhelpful" tally votes. (That is if 15 people even see this, I know the page for this video doesn't get much traffic)

4.0 out of 5 stars The History of Dax, July 6, 2000

By 

Joe White (Layton, Utah United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 71: Facets [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Trill are a very interesting species. They are two seperate species who live as one. You have the worm-thing that, because of an environmental disaster hundreds of years ago on the Trill homeworld, needs to form a symbiotic relationship with a humanoid (the other half of the Trill). Now, not all humanoid Trill qualify to host the worm-things in their chest (belly?) but those that do, bond with the worms for life. Only problem is that the worm-things live a heck of a lot longer than the humanoids do. Jadzia the humanioid is the current host of Dax the worm but there have been several previous humanoid hosts and, through Trill ritual, we get to meet 'em all in "Facets". It's about time! The hints of what Dax's former hosts were like have been dropping since the beginning of DS9's run but here we finally see who they were.

This is a solid episode and it was satisfying to finally find out about all of Dax's previous hosts. Jadzia and Curzon we know about, as well as the homicidal Joran but it was finding out about the others that made this episode fun for me. A politician, a musician, a gymnast, a pilot -- Dax has had many incarnations and many stories. Good episode!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic!, August 20, 2000

Another welcome episode that concentrates on the Dax worm that lives inside Jadzia. Each of the major characters allows one of the past hosts to take over their bodies, temporarily, Quark is given a female personality who sits and brushes Jadzia's hair in a hilarious scene. Sisko gets the mad former host who killed some people, wonderfully over-acted by Avery Brooks. All in all a cracking episode that sheds a new light on the Dax character in pure Star Trek style!
