I feel like they had a second go of this theme in DS9 where Dax does do the new host
nice, it seems like as the seasons go on the themes are definitely getting deeper
How did the makeup team do Dax's spots anyway? Were they painted by hand, and a little different every day of shooting? Did they have a template and spray paint?
By hand.

Jesus, why is this picture so hot???
I think it's really hard to get a picture of Terry and have it not be super hot.
Serious reply - apart from Terry being a beautiful woman, being touched in that area - neck to clavicle - is an intimate interaction
She also pretty much eyefucks the camera here
Because Terry Ferrell.
hhhnnnnggg
transcendent explorations of love

It's fine if he doesn't have any body.
damn, really just don't fuck with blondes
I always figured the ending was to get the episode to air at all during the era. Like it wasn't obviously pro-tranistion, because no official protagonist transitioned or loved someone who did. :(
I'm thankful that Trek has managed stronger message with actual protagonists, since.
Of course, it must have also been to ensure the sacred expectations of television networks that episodes can air in any order because nothing meaningful changes.
for sure. crazy though that in the nineties this was just the line.
iirc It’s because he didn’t tell her shit until afterwards.
Fuck, you’re a hot chick now wtf else is gonna happen?? Do you turn into a steamshovel or suddenly speak only in riddles or some shit?
It’s about being honest with your partner and how shit can be fucked when you lie (by omission, anyway).
It wasn’t a lie, though, because there was no intent to deceive. The trill just views this as normal. They saw no more reason to “reveal” how their biology works than a human might feel the need to disclose that they’ll wrinkle and weaken with age.
Realistically spacefaring races would probably find ways of sorting these things out before getting involved, but that’s how it was presented in the episode.
what were they (?) supposed to tell her? they didn't get to choose either of the new bodies they were provided. seems like to them that the host's sex plays very little of a role to them anyway
or suddenly speak only in riddles or some shit?
I can't decide if this is racist against Tamarians, Q, or both. ^\s^
Which episode was this? Don't recall it.
"The Host," which is also the first episode with the Trill.
And the last episode with the Trill looking like that.
They do not discuss it with outsiders.
This is my sign that it's time for another rewatch.
I've never made it through tng. Actually trying as gain right now on season 3.
Season 3 is when TNG becomes TNG.
I'm impressed you made it through the first 2 seasons at all. The racist jungle gym fight is always when I tap out, and I've watched the rest of TNG an endless amount of times.
first two seasons and some parts of 3 were rough 😅 do you mean Worf's battle program where he made fuck?
I'm a voyager baby, I'll rewatch the forever.
I started tng on season 3 this time because the finale is worf 359.
I'm kinda not paying attention but so far so good
