?????
By Jadzia-Dax

From above:

Quote:

"It gives you no where to grow if in the beginning you know it all and you're tough and you're wizened and you can handle anything. I'm interested in journeys and people and how life experiences change them. I went into a new experience straight out of college so we were very much parallel she and I, and now I feel, as she does, very centered and very strong. I'm coming into my own as a woman for the first time. People in my life are noticing it, I'm noticing it and that's why I'm really excited to move on to the next stage in my life."


What she doesn't understand, IMHO, which is what she is living through right now, is that for someone her age, with a character that age, they DO come out gung ho and strong and somewhat arrogant. And it's not until the person hits well into their 30s and on when they begin to settle down and have lived some life and got the bumps and bruises and school of hard knocks that tempers them.

I'm sorry Linda but they wrote the character all wrong. Hoshi and Travis should have had MUCH MORE energy and verve for the age they were playing. In the past, I have pointed out how a Commander Shelby was shown in BOBW I & II. And although Shelby did what she did because she was ambitious, the character DID display the typical energy of someone in their mid - late 20s who is old enough to know and do, and doesn't really care about particular consequences because they can usually bounce out of them.

This is why I understand places like the Air Force (and equivalent air-based staff in the other services) essentially "retire" their "top gun" pilots after a certain age because they eventually "get a clue" and realize that they may really have something other than their job to die for, and aren't as willing to take the risk. Ie., they get some sense in their heads. ;-)

But before that time, that's the peak age of wonder and willingness to go for it, and then even party afterwards, get up the next day with a few hours sleep, and do it all over again.

But she doesn't see that yet because she is in the midst of being in that stage of life. She should look at her own work schedule while doing this show as an example. ;-)

Anyway... c'est la vie.
