     I like the way the TV Guide described the surprise ending in a feature
     article

     before the episode had aired in all markets!

     anyway, SPOILER

     No one gets off of this station alive! That's what we do to deserters
     'round

     her, slut girl!

     The line about "ovarian resequencing" was cute! Some revisionist authors

     insist Spock had to be a test-tube baby, but that's just not their
     style. On

     that subject - and contrary to the previous thought, it's occured to me
     that

     Spock could even be an amalgam, rather than a genetically unitary
     organism: he

     could consist of cooperating yet distinct Human and Vulcan cells and
     organs.

     It would have been nice if they had noted that this was the first time
     Worf had

     ever been with the real Judzia, sans the creepy crawler (Julian got to
     spend

     some time with her once, but they never made a point that they are
     separable

     entities in the new, sanitized version of the Trill). In that prior
     episode

     (where the slug got stolen) it would have been great if Judzia had
     expressed

     revulsion for the thing and had to be begged to let it back in (that has
     a

     familiar ring to it...), even to save her life! Just maybe they'll
     examine the

     question of how much of what Worf loved was Judzia, and how much Dax,

     especially as there's the possibility that Dax will return (portrayed by
     more

     of a team player). Worf isn't exactly open minded, but hey, if she's
     cute (and

     a she)... And what of Sisko? He wasn't there last time a Dax host died -
     if

     they contribute to the merged personality, that's pretty cold of him;
     and

     surely Dax will want to come back to advise his old buddy and help in
     the war

     effort (presumably Dax can retain his prior rank and possibly
     position...)

         Sort of like luncheon meat?

         Hmmm...that's true. I would've been funny if she'd wrinkled up her
         nose at

         him -- "get away from me you smelly animal!"

         (and

         >a she)...

         He, he! "Get that old f*ck away from me!!"

         Their personalities seem quite different from host to host. So I
         think Worf

         is out of luck even if the next host is female. They probably will
         put Dax

         into a really cute female host -- it's better for ratings and more

         opportunity for romantic plots.

         >And what of Sisko? He wasn't there last time a Dax host died - if

         They did show Sisko grieving for Judzia, but Dax is not mentioned at
         all

         (Julian simply states the slug has been sent to Trill). "Sisko you
         bastard!

         You let them ship me back to Trill UPS?!"
