and Nicole de Boer played Ezri Dax

Which did you like better?
Was Jadzia a better actor than Nicole? Was Nicole hotter? Was Jadzia the better character? What are your reasons for liking one over the other?

Unlike many of the others she didn't get in trouble frequently, have issue making hard decisions and had moments of being a completed badass. The arrogance that makes people dislike her is easily described as part of her character, not an acting flaw. If you had like 10 lifetimes of experience and that much IQ, you'd be the same way.
Ezri was too much of a quick-fix for a formal goodbye for Jadzia and really struck me as a Prep/Valley girl. She was cute but lacked the class Jadzia had.
My two cents.
They both were great actors, though. It's just that Jadzia never had any real flaws (aside from the whole symbiont business which seemed to be used solely for gender jokes and narrative purposes). I freely admit I'm also under influence of deBoer's cuteness factor, though. Few actresses can do the ":3" smile.
jadzia on the other hand was phenomenal. beautiful, sexy, funny, smart, tough.
she took a year or two to hit her stride but she was easily the better of the two in terms of the actress and the character she played.
deBoer = don't have to call her the next season
plus deBoer is hotter
she too was great, although what ever she did to her hair in season 7 killed the magic for me.
baby vomit is not a decent substitute for shampoo
Yeah, that hair was almost as bad as Janice Rand's hair!
Same choice for the same reasons.
My thoughts exactly!!!
curzon :eek:
I knew I was recongizing her from something but couldn't put my finger on it. Then it hit me. I looked it up on IMDB and she was in that movie like a year or two before she did DS9.
omg lol selfpwn
Though I'd agree with Valias. Jadzia never had a downside.
Ezri is simply hotter than Jadzia.
I would take either.
Ezri get some extra points for Nicole deBoer cuteness.
But Jadzia gets some extra points for confidence (maybe even aggressiveness).
We must, as Trekkies, remember that after she married Worf she had to regularly attend the Infirmary to have Bashir fix her injuries sustained during bedroom activities.
So did he. In fact, I think it was in "Let He Who Is Without Sin..." that Odo quips that the only person whose spent more time in the infirmary than Jadzia was Worf. Which meant Jadzia could give as much as she got.
/thread.
Ezri....well....she made me look like this:(
Her character seemed better built, and she was more likable anyway
Farrell is NOT a better actress. Her delivery often seems to have a lot of "gasps" and leave me with the impression she's just reading the script to get the paycheck. Her character (and this is the fault of the writers) comes off as way to arrogant. All knowing-all seeing Jadzia Dax. Might as well have had old man Curzon for the part since she's 100% sure about everything. Missed opportunity for character growth that was only realized AFTER Nicole de Boer became the Dax host.
Ezri is far more interesting a character. Why? You don't really know much about her and as she's trying to (re)figure herself out, we were getting to know this new person. This is really how it should have been from the start. The Curzon character could have suddenly died and Ezri, being the only available Trill, becomes the new host. In that sense, Sisko would have become mentor to his former mentor, and it just would have added more depth to "Dax" since delema's are a form of conflict, in this case, self conflict.
As for who's more attractive....Farrell is not an ugly woman, but I don't find her "hawt" or super attractive. Nicole is also not "hawt" but she's absolutely super cute which is attractive in its own right.
