Star Trek DS9 - Sisko lends his body to Joran

For Jadzia's zhian'tara ritual, Sisko lends his body so Jadzia can talk to one of her former hosts, Joran. Not without danger.

I wish someone could find that first take, if it still exists... I would love to see it..

@mysterio5005 Interestingly enough, this was the second take for that scene. The first was apparently too creepy for the director, so they had to redo it. Considering how creepy this version is, take one must have been sheer, unadulterated Nightmare Fuel...

Reminds me of when Tuvok mind melded with Suder.  You wish these guys would get to do more creepy shit *outside* of a force field.

"Stop it! You're hurting him!"

Yeah, I think that's the general idea...

Joran Dax - the Star Trek version of Hannibal Lecter.

and Avery Brooks plays it really, really well: you feel instantly that it´s not Sisko talking here, but a very dangerous, cunning & mentally insane character. he´d cut your throat while smiling.

who said that Star Trek doesn´t have good actors??

@Diannalover Well put. Am I tho only one who thinks Avery would kick butt in a horror movie?

I love this show folks, and if you enjoy Avery Brooks' acting, I have no problem with that at all. But in my opinion, his acting was fairly weak overall, and this is one of his scenes that I don't think contains strong acting. This type of role requires very high level acting which I don't think Brooks has, even though i do believe that he puts a lot of effort into his roles.

@NotQuiteRight The problem is Avery Brooks is, at least now, completely and utterly batshit insane. We're talking beyond Busey levels of crazy.

@Diannalover Someone's been reading TV Tropes ... :)

Avery Brooks nailed it!!!

[seaconfused]

@glocktwentyseven Yeah! I wonder how much creepier it could be...

[oatmealboy6]

@darkcyeote Lol, they should have used more Kirk Fu moves. Jadzia could have grabbed the top of the door frame and choked Sisko/Joran with her legs. Then, a slow flying shoulder block and a double-handed weak punch to the lower back and it's game over!!!
