Its a shame in Ezri's case they never got her in a swimsuit or what not.

I guess. 

Jadzia always struck me as being more one-of-the-guys types.

Didn't DS9 have several moments of lesbianess? I seem to think there were several. Which I never found to be creepy - in fact they frequently sent my starship to "red alert".

Ezri vs jadzia - I've always preferred jadzia not just in looks but personality. Strong willed, fun loving and tough. Ezri was just cute, in little a girl sort of way and her personality was that of a lost insecure teenager.

Trek had gay undertones in DS9, but the writers apparently removed it as soon as they heard people noticed it. I think the 'subtle' Intendant was the only intentional one (as she is evil)...

Jadzia always seemed more popular, though getting six seasons to Ezri's one may have worked against the latter.

Im pretty sure there was an episode with an ex lover of one of daxs previous hosts - which leads to another female / female kissing scene. Hell that may be the one that prompted a switch to using the mirror universe to bring in "gay" themes. But your right about it being mainly the Intendant, I seem to also recall a very sexually vibed scene with her and Kira that really touches on "taboo" you totally get from the Intendant that she would "do" her mirror self.

IIRC it was a 'steal the symbiont' episode were jadzia kissed the chick.

Fun fact to add, Jeffery Combs who is famed for playing several Trek characters (Weynon, Shran) tried out for the role of Commander Riker.  You can read about it, and some other interesting 'almost' cast choices here:

And didn't he do the voice of the crazy guy in Bioshock? I've only seen videos but it sounds a lot like him.

its possible, he did voice the evil final romulan boss in elite force 2.

Regarding Vorta-actors... Yelgrun from the episode "The Magnificent Ferengi" (see my avatar) was played by none other than Iggy Pop.
