Dax Dated A Gallamite On DS9 & Star Trek: Lower Decks Finally Showed Them
This Is What Captain Boday Looked Like?
OnStar Trek: Deep Space Nine,Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax dated Captain Boday, a Gallamite Starfleet Officer who was described as having a"toothy smile and transparent skull.“Star Trek: Lower Decksseason 5, episode 3, “The Best Exotic Nanite Hotel” showed Lt. Brad Boimler avoiding meeting two Gallamites because they were, frankly, scary. On his X account (@gaghyogi49), Jörg Hillebrand, who was a researcher forStar Trek: Picard, connected the dots that Gallamites were the species Captain Boday hailed from and Dax dated onDS9:
SinceStar Trek: Deep Space Nineseason 6 never showed Captain Boday or what a Gallamite looked like, his relationship with Jadzia before she married Lt. Commander Worf (Michael Dorn) was the subject of much speculation. InDS9season 7,Lt. Ezri Dax (Nicole de Boer), who inherited the Dax symbiont and Jadzia’s memories, confirmed that Jadzia slept with Captain Boday. WithStar Trek: Lower Decksrevealing Gallamites are rather monstrous in appearance,Jadzia’s brief fling with Captain Boday certainly raises eyebrows.

Dax Certainly Liked All Types
Lt. Ezri Dax was the ninth host of the Dax symbiont, and she inherited Dax’s remarkable dating history across eight lifetimes. Jadzia once remarked thata prior Dax host, Emony, dated a young Dr. Leonard McCoy(DeForest Kelley), who"had the hands of a surgeon.“Jadzia herself was remarkably open-minded and accepting of aliens as romantic partners. After all, Jadzia married Worf and joined the Klingon House of Martok (J.G. Hertzler). Jadzia also flirted with Quark (Armin Shimerman), a Ferengi, and fell in love withDr. Lenara Kahn (Susanna Thompson).
Star Trek: Lower Decks confirming what Gallamites look like certainly casts Jadzia dating Captain Boday in a new light.

Jadzia Dax inStar Trek: Deep Space Nine’s early seasons, and Julian eventually romanced Ezri Dax by the end ofDS9.Star Trek: Lower Decksconfirming what Gallamites look like certainly casts Jadzia dating Captain Boday in a new light.
