The Orb 7: How Dax Got Its Groove Back

Jadzia Dax. In order to know who you are, it’s important to know who you’ve been. That’s the advice given by one of DS9’s youngest crew members—and also its oldest—Jadzia Dax. Most of us find coming to terms with one life task enough; but what would it be like to juggle eight lives? In this episode of The Orb, hosts Christopher Jones and Matthew Rushing examine Jadzia the young woman, Dax the symbiont, the union of the two into a joined Trill, and how this unique person came to terms with her past and influenced those around her in a way that helped each of them grow.
