Begs the question if Jadzia and Worf would have had a family targ for their kids to play with.

@Curzon Dax-sama, this is like the third time in a row we’re goofin on star trek and outta nowhere you detour into some ecstatic monologue about women, and you do it with this weird glint in your eye.

To be honest, the entire premise of that plot was retarded.

When Quark gets his podcast going, I hope Morn is his "jamie." And that once a month he gets a rant episode.

To be fair, there was an episode of Voyager where a backup of the Doctor's program was recovered by a museum in the Delta Quadrant, so it's not exactly impossible for this to happen. Granted, I'm more confused as to how they got the specific EMH used on Voyager, especially after all the shit that went down with AI prior to the Burn. Hell, Discovery's third season introduced a more advanced medical hologram that works closely with Admiral Vance, so it's not as if holograms are in short supply like dilithium.
Depends. Would it be The Wrath of Khan-level quality or The Final Frontier-level quality?
She's kind of like the anti-Guinan in a lot of ways.
Guinan has the kind of wisdom in that she knows how to advise younger people and mentor them.
Dax has the kind of wisdom where she knows how to get free candy out of the vending machine if you hit it a certain way.

If anything, they should have only given Worf the assignment (with a team of spec ops-types trained for this kind of stuff), while Dax stays behind and grows increasingly worried over the course of the episode, before she finally steals a runabout and goes after he husband when he didn't return after a set time. It avoids this entire "fraternization in the military"-thing that left a bad taste in this particular instance, while it still would get the point across that either of the two characters would risk a whole lot for the other.

This always drove me crazy with Star Trek. "Hey, we got this secret grey/black ops shit who should we send: A high ranking officer from a prominent installation or a specially trained SpecOps team? Send the officer!" It'd be like sending the number three guy from Fort Bragg to Pakistan to kill bin Laden with the post's doctor and an engineer from the motor pool. It's no wonder the Dominion pushed their shit in at first, they were the first competent enemy Star Fleet has ever faced. Imagine a Star Trek short series about a JSOC guy that was put into cryosleep in 2019 and was woken up by Star Fleet Security during TNG, DS9, and VOY. It'd be him face palming every episode when they briefed him on whatever bullshit they were sending famous, high ranking officers to do.

No idea. I guess it would depend on how badly it got raped after the producer and director got their hands on it.
Its also just stupid that anyone, let alone Worf, would ever just decide to give up on JADZIA FUCKING DAX who should have never been allowed on this mission regardless due to her already being very accomplished Starfleet officer with critical knowledge/experience on the Dominion, but is the fucking dax symbiotes host with centuries of knowledge/skills that are by themselves incredibly valuable.
One would also think that even ignoring the above that Starfleet would have a "no man left behind" kind of policy that would have obligated Worf to save Jadzia over the defector either way.
It was a retarded plot that was created to have the incredibly forced and contrived dressing down at the end by Sisko. There was a far better way of exploring this than having it be definitively Jadzia or the Defector as Worf's choice. It would have been far more effective and earned its dressing down moment if the situation was re-written so that Worf could have saved both of them, but chose Jadzia just to ensure she survived.

That would be a cool rollercoaster ride, and that is exactly the reason why we'll never get it outside of fanfiction.

As usual it's the needs of TV vs reality.
TOS had people that had been in the actual military - they knew it was insane for the Captain, first officer, and chief medical officer to beam down every mission, but those were the stars of the show and their budget didn't allow for additional crew.
Sometimes you just have to enjoy the kitsch.

Letting Jadzia die on a doomed jungle mission would’ve made more narrative sense and been perfectly in character for Worf’s never-ending pain parade. They were killing her off anyway. Maybe it played as a tough call on first airing, but knowing what's coming, the indecision just looks feckless. Terry all but said she deserved better than getting randomly offed by a guest star she never shared a scene with.

Pretty much. As much as we can balk at the silliness of it all, the truth is if every crazy deadly away mission was handled by the "John Starfleet Marine" of the week, I think it'd get pretty boring. Unless you had a dedicated "John Starfleet Marine" character who was just the guy that always does the wetwork, but at that point it's not too different (and less dynamic) than having, say, Worf, Picard (!) and Doctor Crusher(!?) be in charge of a top secret blackops deep raid into enemy territory searching for WMDs.
The bridge crew are all basically Flash Gordon but with more paperwork they have to do.
