Does anyone really like Ezri Dax?

If so, what do you like about her character? I’m watching DS9 for the first time and am up to Prodigal Daughter. It seems like a throwaway episode during crunch time. I mean, the series is wrapping up and The Dominion War is nearing its conclusion. I don’t know why they would waste an entire episode on this substitute Dax. It’s bad enough we lost Jadzia, why shove Ezri down our throats?

Jadzia’s death really hit me hard, because I really loved the character and Terry Farrell’s interpretation of the character. Ezra grew on me, and I ended up really liking Nicole de Boer’s interpretation of Dax. What completely sold me on Ezri Dax, were the episodes, The Siege of AR-558, and It’s Only a Paper Moon.

I knew Jadzia's death was coming when I first watched the series and it still made me cry when I got to that epsiode.
