A call-out of Terry Farrell's unceremonious axing of her character and job from DS9 by way of producer Berman.
In another life, the Grand Nagus approves ... beautifully done!
Actor Wallace Shawn, had a role in 'The Princess Bride' as Vizzini the Sicilian criminal leader ..... and he later played the role of the Ferengi Grand Nagus Zek in DS9
I liked Ezri in the last season, but not at the expense of Jadzia.
The character concept is really interesting, something you can only do in sci-fi. The closest equivalent I can think of is a newly regenerated Doctor. If we were going to get Ezri, I wish we got more than one season of her, to explore the character a bit more, but, yeah, the behind-the-scenes events that lead to the character being created are awful, and I wish they could have been avoided entirely.
Think Stargate did something similar with.... the Tokra? I think. I want to say the captain of the Prometheus was an under cover Goauld for a bit, and the only way to keep him alive after removing the symbiote was to have one of the friendly guauld hop in for a while and help repair the damage done. I don't know, it's been a long time.
Wasn't it because she got a new role on Becker? I don't believe she was fired at all, and honestly she knew the series was winding down and got a new role at a new show that went on for 7 years, it obviously was the right move for her

It's already well-known that Farrell wanted to become a recurring character on the series in the seventh season instead of a main character, presumably because she'd gotten another job offer from Becker, but that hasn't been substantiated. Her request for reduced time on the show was denied, and her character was killed toward the end of season six. But more than just Farrell's desire to go part-time led to her decision to depart the series. According to The Fifty Year Mission: The Next 25 Years [via Whatculture], Farrell was allegedly subjected to misogynistic comments by Rick Berman. She claimed that he regularly made remarks about her appearance, would not bend on any requested changes to her new contract, and, at one time, sent another producer to tell her "If you weren't here, you know you'd be working at Kmart." Though Farrell didn't want to leave the series, Berman's unwillingness to work with her on a new contract as well as his alleged treatment of her led to Farrell's final decision. And though Nicole de Boer tried to fill her shoes when she came onboard Deep Space Nine to play Ezri Dax, the series was never the same without Farrell. And now, almost twenty-five years later,Farrell is willing to return to the franchise.
Yeah Berman is a well known piece of shit.
And now, almost twenty-five years later,Farrell is willing to return to the franchise.
But she never did. :(
Yeah, old interview just twisting the knife.
