“I didn’t know about it on Tuesday, and on Thursday the script arrived – we started shooting on Friday. I was so shocked. You know you get the impression that maybe the producers sit down and talk about strategies and character arcs with actors but this thing came out of the blue and pissed me off so royally.”
Like srsly? Royally? If I didn’t know Alexander Sidding grew up in the UK, this would give me a clue ;)
WHY HAVEN’T THEY DONE THIS??
“Early in the run of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Michael McGreevey pitched a story to the writers that featured Jadzia and Bashir falling in love. McGreevey commented ”It was a love story, a simple concept. I don’t know why they didn’t want to do it. The symbiont inside Dax becomes ill, making her ill, and Dr. Bashir must separate them in order to treat the symbiont. We would come to see the personality of Jadzia, which of course is different from Dax. Bashir falls in love with her, and she feels for him, too. But the most important thing in life is to be joined with the symbiont. Bashir realizes that the only way to save the symbiont is to put it back into Jadzia, and thereby lose the girl he loves“.
BTW, Bashir is one of my first tv-series’ characters crushes, so expect a flood of post related to DS9 xD I think I need to find my dvds and watch DS9 from the beginning :P
Just look at his adorable face ^__^
