    Worf has plenty of strong feelings. If he didn't, he would never have mated with her. But Worf understands that feelings do not override responsibility. "Honor" isn't just some useless nonsense to him; it's about doing the right thing. And he was right. Because she refused to be his wife, their son was raised without his father.

      Well, that third pip on his collar comes with more complex responsibilities.
      I think Picard should have assigned Troi to keep them on track and off of each other's throats. (In fact, I am kind of disappointed Picard didn't realize Data was a poor choice to work with them).
      Or, maybe someone else who was good at tactical analysis and could use experience with conflict management.

      She didn't wanna marry him. That was the main issue. He didn't want to do the wrist sniffing sex stuff unless they were married. She wanted to date him or just Co parent. He didn't want that. Especially because, whether or not either wanted to admit it, they both loved each other.

    • @jmackmcneill
      @jmackmcneill 11 місяців тому +1

      The back problem thing is a fan theory that Frakes himself has debunked. He does not have back problems, however he chose to play Riker with a physicality that a lot of people recognised as the mannerisms of someone with back problems due to height.
      In this particular scene, the sequence of actions is:
      - push back from table
      - wait for Picard to speak
      - stand up in response to cue from Picard
      ... you can call that a blooper if you want, because he was 1.5 seconds early for a cue, but this was a meeting, not a choreographed fight scene, if you think about it, perfectly synchronised movements is rather stranger than momentary hesitations and aborted actions.

    Star Trek's biggest flaw was the failure to make the Klingons believable. How could they be dumb warriors but also have high tech ships? And before anyone answers, "it's in the novels", they don't count. The series should have answered this question, and it never does.

      I do see what you mean. We rarely saw Klingons who were anything other than warriors. The engineers, navigators etc didn't seem all that interested in their roles, at least I didn't think so. Then you wonder who does the maintenance, the cleaning, not just on their ships but in their society, who does the jobs that don't attract great honour or joie de vivre?

      @chrismc410 Рік тому

      Worf is hardly a deadbeat. K'Ehleyr deliberately until her conscience got the better of her and literally sprung Alexander on him and her disdain for Klingon values, intended or not set Alexander up for failure with his father and himself later in life. His Discommendation also didn't do him and wouldn't do Alexander any favors.
      Worf would not have went for the "find his own ways" in the same way K"Ehleyr did if at all had he been in his life from the beginning. He would insist, even force Alexander to go through at least the training of and ultimately the Rite of Ascension as Worf himself did when he was his age.
      If he wanted to follow his own path AFTER that and specialize elsewhere that would be his choice but he would definitely insist he go through the training and ascension to being a warrior at least in the eyes of Klingon society knowing whilst other paths are honorable, they will never be as valued as being a warrior is.
      From Worf's point of view their House and family has had more than enough controversy at it was and the least atypical Alexander is, the least harm he wouldl endure throughout his life. Martok himself admitted the last thing a parent, Klingon or otherwise wants to see is harm come to their children..
