Reception
Compared to Jadzia, Ezri comes across as very insecure. Some fans derided Ezri Dax as "Ally McTrill" (in reference to the title character on Ally McBeal), and one TV Guide reviewer took a cue from the fans. Nicole de Boer, however, took this as a compliment. It was necessary that the character of Ezri avoid being a carbon copy of Jadzia, just as it was necessary for Commander Benjamin Sisko not to be a copy of James T. Kirk. The differences drove the character development. In one scene, for example, Ezri admitted to having never liked the Klingon food Gagh, even more so now that she had vivid memories of Jadzia relishing the food's spirited attempts not to be swallowed.
Ezri Dax was the only member of the main cast not to be made into an action figure by Playmates Toys.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
