"Jadzia Dax honors an oath made by Curzon Dax to three Klingons (Kor, Koloth, and Kang), and goes with them on a crusade against their sworn enemy "the Albino" who murdered their firstborn children as revenge for stopping his raid on a Klingon colony."
So here's the deal. The plot is sort of dumb and the episode itself was not that great. I have come to really dislike the character of Dax, not at all interesting. BUT, this episode did have a few cool nuances.
They brought back the three original actors from TOS to play Kang, Kor and Koloth. Michael Ansara as the classic Klingon, Kang (Day of the Dove) ... also he was married to Barbara Eden??? William Campbell as Koloth, from Touble With Tribbles, he was also Trelane in Squre of Gothos. Finally, John Colicos as Kor from the great episode Errand of Mercy.
The story itself was supposed to be an ode to Seven Samurai, which I guess I can see but really who gives a shit. Also the outside shots of the Albino's house where of the Millard House in California, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. But really, who give a shit.

I remember this episode, so I guess that says something. I also remember liking it.
The problem with Dax is twofold:
#1. They didn't think the Trill society through very well. None of it makes sense, and most of what we learn in each episode contradicts stuff we learned in other episodes.
#2. Terry Ferral is the worst lead actor to ever appear as a main Star Trek actor. Except for maybe the guy who played Chakotay on Voyager or Jolene Blalock on Enterprise.
I agree. At first I could get by on the fact that Terry Ferral is sort of cute. But, yeah, she can't act. I think Perry Farrell would do a better job.
