Girlkissing, yaays!

They do lots of interesting things with Jadzia. This time, nice snuggly romance. And they went out of their way to make it so the f/f was not a problem - and not only not a problem for Trill, not a problem for anybody. They invented an entirely different taboo to make the story about.

Pity it was so weird and continuity bending.

I mean why only no associating with wives? How come she gets to be friends with all those people across lives? Where's the logic?

Somewhere around the middle I was sort of *peeks through fingers* and worried the universe might make a decision for them, like it did that time Jadzia was going to quit work and go be incorporeal. But no. The universe likes them, they got to be all heroic and romantic, and it was pretty cool.

And then the woman decides to let the taboo win and go home.

Sulk.

I can see the logic for the individual hosts... but I can't see the logic for their society. If protecting the symbionts is so all fired important, why on earth would they come up with exile as a punishment anyway? Surely it would be more logical to move the symbiont on to a new host that wasn't being freaky?

Except the point is the symbiont carrying a relationship through lives, so maybe they think it's the damaged part?

Would be the first sign they anything other than worship the things.



Mostly I think the writers made something up that doesn't make sense or quite fit with previous stuff. But there was just enough logic offered to make it look like it could bend to fit. Kind of frustrating.





In completely unrelated news, I have noted recently that I no longer go sleep as soon as I get back from college. Or, you know, kind of at all, lately. Which is less helpful. Plus the headache. I took painkiller but it don't killed it yet. All this annoying.


Jadzia pretty. And almost entirely not annoying.

Also, Julian pretty, and kind of really cute falling asleep on his hand being chaperone.
... that's a weird word. Now I'm wondering if I spell it right.

You know how Bajoran names are the other way around? With the family name up front and the personal name at the end?

That would mean all characters with the same first name are family.

That would get weird.

Just think: Wesley.

Or Jack.

Ray would be a fake out though, cause one of them would have stopped using his family name for some reason and started using Ray instead.
... er, which sounds more like a marriage thing ... oh dear ...




In other news, throbby glowy turn-the-lights-out headaches with nausea are MADE OF LOSE and definitely a design flaw. Even if this one is still relatively minor. LOSE.
