Fans were thrilled when Farrell appeared on the stage after the video finished playing.<\/p>\n<p>Farrell updated fans on her current life, and spoke about her <em>Deep Space Nine<\/em> days, lamenting the way her character Jadzia was written off of the show. Being killed by a Dukat who came out of nowhere felt pointless, Farrell told the crowd, and moreover, Jadzia&#8217;s death meant there could be no future guest star appearances for Farrell. If Jadzia had to die, said Farrell, it would have been better to have been killed off in <em>Change of Heart<\/em>, where Worf saved Jadzia at the cost of ruining an intelligence mission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over five thousand fans attended FedCon XIX in Bonn, Germany, where Star Trek actors from&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2663,2421,2406],"tags":[3214,3213],"class_list":["post-9144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-ds9","category-star-trek-tos","category-star-trek-voy","tag-farrell","tag-fedcon-xix"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-ds9\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-tos\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: TOS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-voy\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: VOY<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: VOY","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9144"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9146,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9144\/revisions\/9146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
