Over the years, Star Trek has brought a staggering amount of stories to the eyes and ears of audiences, from tense action sequences to light comic relief, intergalactic espionage to strange mind games played by Q. There has been such an array of different situations over the various different additions to the franchise, that it makes sense that sometimes they produce a moment so dramatically sad and sudden that it leaves audiences in a dazed, teary state. For many, this moment can be summarized wholeheartedly by the love story between the beloved Klingon Worf, and his symbiotic wife Jadzia Dax.
Jadzia Dax is considered by many fans to be one of the best characters within the franchise, and a main character within one of the best shows: Deep Space 9. While easy to be swept under the rug by other series such as The Next Generation and even the Original Series, Deep Space 9 was by far the grittiest and emotionally mature Star Trek program, often showing the grim underbelly of the Federation, and exploring the moral gray areas of democracy and war. Among its characters, Jadzia was a Trill, a race of humanoid aliens who are paired biologically and emotionally with a symbiont lifeform. They would merge and become one entity, sharing the multitude of lifetime memories lived by the symbiont, with the new fresh perspective and characteristics of the young Trill host. This made for a wonderful dichotomy between inherited memories and youthful exuberance. Jadzia Dax was both a young Starfleet science officer aboard the space station, and her symbiont carried the memories of the old mentor for the station's commander, accidental war criminal Captain Benjamin Sisko.
