      That line reminded me of the DS9 episode "House of Quark" where our beloved Ferengi bartender answers the challenge to a death battle in the Klingon Council chamber with Gowron presiding over the event.
      "I am Quark, son of Keldar! And I have come to answer the challenge of D'Gor, son of... WHATEVER"
      Not only was the "son of whatever" line one of the deepest burns in Star Trek history, it was a moment where I felt Quark was channeling the spirit of Keh'leyr, who herself wasn't too keen on traditional Klingon customs.

      That's what he is.

      Yeah, it does seem silly, but it makes sense to me. For all their talk of killing people where they stand, and the cowardice of anything other than a "fair" fight, the Klingons have managed to build and administrate an apparently successful and sizeable empire.
      Almost all of these threats and insults are merely posturing of the proper form, and I feel like the writers of the various series got into that idea more and more into that as the years went on. I'd bet that if Picard hadn't said the "magic word" or at least made some attempt to "defuse" the situation, the two Klingons would probably have started circling each other while glancing at Picard like, "Really? You're actually gonna make us go through with this?"
      Living in a foreign culture for a while has let me see not just how this happens in my adopted culture, but also how it happens in my native culture, as well as how deeply ingrained it was in me, to the point that I didn't even realise a lot of it.

    I think this is something that certain modern adaptations of star trek forget: Star trek is not about space ships, or firefights, or hand-to-hand combat. That's a part of it, sure, but action isn't the point - it's a device, used to heighten the drama, and the drama is what Star Trek is really about. Drama and characters.

    You have to hand it to Gowron. He is crazy in many regards, but also very smart. He knows when he has to play by the rules, when to try to bend them and when he realizes he can't get his way, he backs down and goes by the rules, until he finds another way.
    His crazy demeanor is made all the more dangerous by his cunning. Truly he was a great character to have in the Trek universe.

      It's interesting, the story of the Bat'leth is that Kahless forged it to fight Molor, who was unparalleled with a sword.

So it may be as close a Klingon would allow themself to a shield.

      way more practical then you would think. the tng, ds9 bat'leths function as a grabber/blocker of bladed weapons which means you can defend and if you can catch the blade at the right position twist it out of a foe's grasp leaving them without a weapon. while the bat'leth also allows for limited slashes, and stabs while doing offensive manuevers.
