Star Trek: DS9's Dax Actress Calls Out Sexism In Major Kira's Friendship

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Terry Farrell, calls out the sexism in her character Jadzia Dax's friendship with Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor). In the third part of Star Trek: DS9 season 2's 3-part opener, "The Siege", Lt. Dax and Major Kira unearth an old Bajoran resistance sub-impulse raider and fight their way off of the lunar base where the resistance hid the raider a decade earlier. After Kira and Dax work together to get the raider operational and flying like an off-kilter fighter jet, Kira flies "by the seat of her pants", and Dax targets enemies without sensors in the ensuing dogfight. It's action-heavy. It's exciting. It's also rare.
