Verad Dax

Story: Invasive Procedures
Written By: John Whelpley and Robert Hewitt Wolfe
Series: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Year: 1993

A sad and desperate Trill rejected for joining with a symbiont loses his shit and attempts to steal Dax from Jadzia when the station has only a skeleton crew. It is the second Dax-focused script that doesn’t give us a lot of time to get to actually know Jadzia. Terry Ferrell actually has less screen time than others in this script. I like the ideas and concepts behind the Trill and what they are and what they do, but it sucks that Ferrell doesn’t get a lot to do in the scripts that essentially about her character.
That said it is okay…it isn’t the best episode in the world, but it is watchable and average. I doubt you’d be that offended having watched it, but don’t think you are missing much if you skip it.
