My Take
For me, Terry Farrell will always be Jadzia Dax. Deep Space Nine had a deep bench, but she gave that character a wisdom and warmth that genuinely anchored the show, which is impressive for someone who started as a fashion model. I like that she pivoted smoothly into sitcom territory with Becker afterward, proving she wasn't boxed in by science fiction. There's something grounded about an actress from Cedar Rapids, Iowa carrying that kind of presence. I've always felt her departure from DS9 left a real hole, and I'd happily have watched several more seasons of her in that role.
