I would honestly like for them to bring her back.
People love Dax and the Aventine. Why would you say such a thing?
Your opinions are bad and you should feel bad.

Her character on DS9 is young and still finding herself. She believed being a councillor was the right thing as that is what Ezri trained for. But she is a Dax, and being forced to take command during a Defiant mission made her realise she had more to offer as Ezri Dax than just Ezri.

So she transferred to command and was stationed on the Avatine, then when her superiors died during a Borg attack she took command and was made acting Captain, later being fully given the position.
That was basically the plot of a TNG episode. lolEh, still. Having every character go into command feels like nonsense practically and also intimates that anything else is worthless as a career path.
Yeah, it's seriously silly. I haven't read the books, but it feels like there was someone that really crushed on Nicole Boer (which is understandable) and decided to move her character to a perceived cooler role on a super ship with super abilities. It feels like the kind of storyline I'd come up with my Lego figures when I was a kid.
Troi was a counselor who held an honorary, symbolic sort of rank. During a crisis, she was briefly put in charge, and she began to realize that she was ill-equipped for the authority she had been given by that rank. About a year later, Captain Jellico gave her shit for wearing casual clothes while on duty. Maybe Captain Picard doesn't care if she disrespects her position, but Captain Jellico does care, so he ordered her to wear a uniform. She decided to continue wearing the uniform even after he left, because she agreed with his negative assessment of her casual attitude, and decided to start working on a change. Another year later, and she's taken some command training and secured herself a non-symbolic promotion, proving that her rank has now been earned, and increasing her usefulness among her crewmates.Troi took up command training in TNG, the Admiral from STD was a councillor. Why it an issue Ezri did the same, especially given Dax's experience.
But that works because we know Picard. You sub in Kirk or Janeway or Sisko it'd be much the same, if shaded a bit differently.Actually, I was thinking of the Q episode where Picard sees himself as a failure for not taking command and ending up as an unambitious blue shirt Ensign. lol
I never thought of it, but it does seem like getting into management is the default path for any Starfleet officer. Which I suppose explains why there are still non-commissioned officers, even though O'Brien us the only one.
There are many ways to describe Discovery. "Business as usual" for Star Trek is absolutely not one of them.But that works because we know Picard. You sub in Kirk or Janeway or Sisko it'd be much the same, if shaded a bit differently.
One of my disappointments with Discovery is it initially promised a more lower decks approach to a series but it really just turned into the same business as usual, except with more anonymous bridge crew members.
I'm not talking about the show overall.There are many ways to describe Discovery. "Business as usual" for Star Trek is absolutely not one of them.
Yeah seems like Captain or one of the top scientist in whatever field you're in are the main goals in Star Trek. Anything else is basically grunt work almost.

I think the glorification of the captain's chair comes down to Kirk's demotion to captain in The Voyage Home and then his message to Picard in Generations about "leaving the chair."
I thought the thing they said about disco was that the main character would not be the captain, which is something they've held to so far. Michael is the Science officer or something, isn't she?
But looking at things from a naval perspective, yeah, still being an Ensign for that long is unquestionably a failure.
Hope springe eternal for the youthful Ensign Kim.
O'Brien and Kim can fight it out for most put-upon main character. At least O'Brien got a promotion and major responsibilities.Hope springe eternal for the youthful Ensign Kim.
(real talk, most of my favorite Voyager episodes were Harry ones. Dude got screwed soooo bad.)
Star Trek novels are bad, by and large. A lot of fan wankery for favorite characters and new super duper ships.
That's probably because Chao was a guest star. He's basically a bachelor for the entire run of the show. lolI dunno, O'Brien prolly wishes sometimes he wasn't married to Keiko.
The show did a terrible job of ever showing their relationship on a healthy level. It's kind of bizarre considering how much work the rest of the cast's relationships got.

That tracks.I heard that Keiko becomes the captain of an exo-botany ship with experimental organic plant-based computer system and forested interior in the one of the novels.
He got a little edge on him later, even outside of timeline shenanigans. At the very least he got better at shade.Timeless is one of my favourite Voyager episodes, and tbh I've always liked the multiple iterations of old, grizzled Harry Kim. It was just the original recipe that was bland and too earnest by half.
Yeah, Keiko and O'Brien were... not great together, lol.
