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.

First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
