"Key'lar was my mate!"
Dura's friends: "aw geez, look at the time! See ya later, Duras!"
😂
I was waiting to see all of aides give each other a "oh crap" look before they split like the french
😂😂😂😂
Aw, damn, I just remembered. I left my gakh in the oven. Gotta go.
The one dude that introduced Warf's right to vengeance be like
"Dam i think we are all out of prune juice, imm go get some From earth. Sound cool? Alright lets go" XD
"Hello my name is Worf, Son of Mogh, you have killed my wife, prepare to die"
His father too, when you think about it.😇
"I WANT MY MATE BACK, YOU SON OF A PETAQ!!!!!"
Nice the princess bride was really worf's mate!! Lol
Inconceivable
Oh, that's PERFECT! Brilliant!! LOL
I like the muttering of Duras's crew when they hear K'Ehleyr was Worf's mate. They know it changes everything, and Worf has the RIGHT to fight and kill Duras over the death of his mate, disgraced or not!
Some things are more important than honour
To me it sounds like "oh SHIT son"
I think that may have been why Duras allowed the fight. He had a "sense of the room" and knew that even though his men were loyal, they would lose MASSIVE respect for him if he did not allow the Right of Vengence in THAT case.
@@sharkdentures3247 thus, opening an opportunity for one of Duras crew to kill him and assume his rank as Captain of his vessel if he'd chosen not to allow Worf's claim to be validated
The warrior stating it looks almost pleased like Duras is gonna get what's coming to him.
Legend says, Riker took half an hour to beam aboard the klingon ship and he walked very, very slowly to Worfs location.
Thats a feat in and of itself. Riker is more leg than man.
Why would no one stop a Federation officer that was an intruder on a Klingon ship?
@@DONtheDUCK38 Because he had the right to be there under Klingon law.
The problem was Data was in safe mode.
He had to get clearance from the Klingon crew first.
I love how Duras instantly realized he had no choice, the second his crew realized Worf had a legit claim to vengence his fate was sealed.
True, even if Duras was dishonorable, it's likely his crew was not. He would be branded a coward and overthrown in power.
He recognized that Worf would attack him anyway... thereby respecting him as a klingon.
He had already lost the respect of his crew. Killing the mate of a disgraced Klingon. There probably couldn't be much more you could do that would sink your respect much lower.
And I think people overlook one aspect of this scene. When Duras accepts the challenge, he makes a fist to be given his sword. But instead the crew member retrieves the blade and lowers it so he has to reach down to pull it from its sheath. Although I don't think there is anything technically written that considers this a sign of disrespect, but the combination of having to reach down and the look on Duras' face indicate he saw it as such. Not even worthy to be handed a weapon.
a classic, 'oh shit' moment!😁
It was at this moment, Duras knew... he fucked up.
I love how the Klingons in the next scene are just like, "That cool. Yeah, you killed him. Boys will be boys! Live and learn. Well, not Duras tho."
They can challenge a superior officer to a duel for dereliction of duty or cowardice if they want.Klingon justice often falls at the end of a batleth. Klingons typically only need lawyers and advocates for dealings with other races.
Yep. Kind of like when Worf killed Gowron. All he had to do was call him unfit to lead the empire and everything was good.
@@jacksonheathen2092 well, had to defeat him in *honorable* combat, of course, but basically
Now that's direct democracy. Your leader is incompentent or corrupt? OK you think you can do better? Go for it. One on one. Survivor rules. Can't say its not efficient or effective.
Just the boys working off a little steam.
I love how all the Klingon ships take off so quickly after Worf kills Duras.
"Worf's pissed! Let's get outta here!"
As far as the Klingons were concerned, it was a closed matter.
the duras ships were there for the challenge to the leadership of the high council between Gowron and Duras. With Duras dead, there was no more challenge and thus no reason for them to be there.
I think it was more a matter of "Ok, case closed. We're done here"
“Worf’s in the parking lot! He looks disgruntled!”
it definitely had the feeling "Omar's Coming Yo!" all you needed was Worf whistling The Farmer in the Dell and it would have been perfect.
Interesting note, in Klingon culture it is traditional after a warrior is slain to look into their eyes and scream, signaling to the denizens of Sto'vo'kor that a honorable warrior is about to join their halls.
The fact that Warf starred down at the body's lifeless eyes and did nothing is a high mark of disrespect to the dead as it is basically saying "He's not honourable, he's not going to the good place."
Duras resides in Stovokore...
@@scottcrawford3745 Duras resides in Gre'Thor
@@scottcrawford3745 sto-vo-kor was for honorable warriors, not for traitors who would gladly sell their people out to the romulans. duras goes straight to gre'thor with the dishonored dead.
@@eltiburon2796 Right. I will stand Corrected...
@@markdurl8341 Yeah.. I got that wrong... I honestly couldn't remember the name of Klingon Hell. Fek'lhr, (The Devil/Satan) I do remember.. ( Ardra and Picard in "Devil's Due".
0:22 You KNOW the comm badge fell off the table like that and the director went “YES! That’s the perfect take! ✊💪”
Lol, I thought the same thing.
I wondered if it had been written into the script or just happened, and the director said perfect
😂😂😂😂
I have a feeling it was unscripted
Yeah, I agree. Very likely unscripted. But I'm glad they kept it.
It worked well. Beside everything Starfleet being primm and proper, the combadge getting tossed aside and then falling to the floor just adds to the premise, Worf is Not Starfleet in this moment and could care less about any consequences from the same.
K’Ehleyr was such an awesome character. I was so sad when they killed her.
I half expected Duras to be the one one killed in there fight between K'ylarh and Duras
He went to leave and attacked, 1000% sure he couldnt beat her in a straight fight
I think the production staff felt the same way so they tried to bring her back in the form of B'Elanna Torres
Sad, yes, since is so hard to find a femele klingon this sexy.
Was definitely a mistake to kill her off so soon.
Aye at least get a few more episodes out of her before dying.
Even a dishonored klingon like Worf has the right of vengeance under the right circumstances.
Apparently so. Or at least Duras's men weren't going to interfere.
kool innt
in this case, its the victim that matters. K'Ehleyr was an honorable klingon, so she has the right to be avenged. A Non-Klingon could claim that rite.
Worf was literally "dishonored" for no reason.
Much like the Vulcans, the Klingons are absolute hypocrites when it comes to their cultural values(logic, honor, etc.)
@@robwalsh9843 In the end of the day, everyone is a hypocrite. It doesn't mean that the underlying system isn't valid. If anything, it's a call to keep trying to live up to your ideals. At the same time, everyone at some point fails to live up to their standards. People are only human. Even Klingons.
Worf will always be the GOAT Klingon.The best combatant, incredible tactician, the greatest sense of honor, and loyalty to all those he loves and respects.
Makes sense really , Worf is kind of an Ambassador in a matter of speaking.
He really needs to show the galaxy
who klingons are and what they are about. He is proud of his heritage and living amongst humans therefore has much more to prove than if he were among klingons.
Humans do this as well.
0:24 I'm glad they didn't do a second take when Worf threw the comm badge on the table and it fell off. Felt more natural that it didn't stay on the table.
The sound effects support this, you can hear a thud when it falls. Such sounds are added in post
To me, it was very poignant where it showed his complete disinterest in all things Federation at that point. He was Klingon in that moment, and discarded all but his honor.
It almost HAD to fall to the ground... glad they kept it too.
Agreed, i don't believe it was intentional; it was noticed after the fact and sound was added since they do not have mics in the furniture
When I first saw the scene I thought he threw it in a trashcan tbh.
The part that crossed me was the computer gave away that Worf had transported off ship... instead of giving the combadge's location as Lt. Worf's quarters.
But he probably used his own code to authorize transporter functions... so the computer would ID Worf that way.
This was the one time a Klingon crew did not remain to watch a duel. A very clear message about how they really felt about their "leader" .
" K'Ehleyr was my mate"
It was at this point that Duras knew, he F-upped.
I like how even Duras' men were honourable enough to not interfere, even as Worf fought him to the death.
Klingon law in the matter of vengeance is very very clear. When you kill someone’s mate you had best be prepared to deal with an angry and very distraught male Klingon. In matters of vengeance no interference is allowed and not even the angriest Klingon will step in. In the culture vengeance is acceptable. The Klingons here even considered the matter closed as worf acted within Klingon law
Duras denied Warf
But with a look he realized everyone else was gonna let Warf stand on K'ylarh's honor
She was a loyal representative to the high council, and she died in disgrace. She had no right to die like that, but the right to pick any mate She had Warf
Disaccomaodation/Dis Honor or not
It was a very specific right to challenge, which doesn't come easy, since only a direct subordinate has that authority otherwise. The fight in an official challenge cannot be delegated to another such as a bodyguard. It's a very specific Klingon law that allows for this. If Duras refused to acknowledge the challenge, Duras' subordinate would then have the right (and expectation - his next in line would kill him if he didn't) to challenge Duras for control for being a coward. Just clarifying that this isn't some kind of act of thuggery where it's an illegal fight. It's not.
There's a real impression they're sick of his shit by then, too.
odds are none of them knew of his treachery, if they had, odds are duras wouldnt have been alive long enough to murder k'ehleyr
Duras was in deep trouble the moment he killed Keylar. Even if she wasn’t Worf’s mate you can’t just kill a Federation ambassador and just walk away.
It's not like the federation at this point would do anything. They were soft and weak. They stopped thinking of themselves as peace keepers or a defensive force. In any case, without worf, Duras would most likely assume leadership either by assassination or by plunging the empire into civil war. Do you think he or his allies would care about the federation's protests?
Not sure what law there is in respect of Klingon Federation relations like that! Duras tried to kill Kurn, Picard and his father was a traitor whom the High Council covered up for!
It's telling that Duras, who worked with Romulans, uses an elegant, un-klingon sword, while Worf, the "dishonored", uses ae real Klingon Bath'leth.
Good point!
@@lpg12338 Not only that, since we've seen ROMULAN blades in Picard, it clearly was one.
@@michaelgreenwood3413 Those blades date back to TOS if I am not mistaken, remember the Klingons were representatives of Russia while the Romulans were Chinese/Asian.
The bath' leth hadn't been established as the "klingon" weapon yet. Up until that episode you always saw Wolf fighting with these odd claw weapons in the holodeck.
@@rayruckus4446 Yeah, but it still works if you think about it.
I cannot imagine how satisfying this must have been for Worf
With their experience together, all Picard has to do is look at Riker and Will knows exactly the order to stop Worf. So subtle, but shows how in sync they were as a crew.
That's why he calls him "Number One".
Sorry for the down vote. My mouse jumped on me. I hit like because you make a very good point.
The resigned looks on Picard and the Doctor foreshadow what is about to happen.
Picard knows full well what Worf will do next, and the Doctor is picking up on 'the vibe'.
Riker is doing what he must, but there is nothing he can do to stop Worf.
Besides, Will Riker is secretly hoping Worf kills Duras!
He had it coming...
Having just watched it again, Riker non-verbally asks Picard if he should go and stop Worf. Picard sees the inquiry and non-verbally responds in the affirmative. So good!
knowing the circumstances regarding Worf's discommendation ... and knowing what had just happened to K'Ehlyr ... Picard knew full well what was coming next. hell ... Beverly knew that who had killed K'Ehlyr cuz her murder validated what she had JUST told Riker.
Picard probably knew that Riker wasn't gonna make it in time ... Worf had enough of a head start AND plenty of incentive to ensure that Duras would end up very dead.
Worf reversing the blade along his arm to block the blow, then the worf special palm strike is such a badass shot. You know they were geeking out after editing that scene.
0:24 I like how they didn't do a retake after the communicator fell off the table. It makes the scene all the more natural.
yeah i noticed that the most, like worf doesn't give a shiiiiiit he's about to go kill a mf
One slight error (and if someone mentioned this earlier, I apologize): Worf took off his com badge leaving his quarters for the transporter room. The computer should have answered that Worf was in his quarters.
I thought that too@@shepardbook. Every other time they leave a comm badge somewhere, that's where the Computer reports them to be.
@@am5p8 If Worf used his access codes to use the transporters to literally transport himself into the BOP, then it stands to reason that the computer would keep logs of any command line personel in their database doing so. That's in my headcanon, at least, regardless of combadge geotagging to explain that gaff.
🤔🤔 Hadn't thought of that either.
Probably the most satisfying death during the whole run of TNG.
I would add the Duras sisters, Lursa and B'Etor, to that list. What a clan of traitors all 3 of them turned out to be. I'm glad the crew of the Enterprise got all 3 of them (Duras in this clip and the 2 sisters in Star Trek: Generations)
@@deanosborn3464Yet only they took out the Enterprise
@@baoxidiaoyu Yeah, but then the Enterprise - E came about and the TNG crew had their best movie afterward.
Ohh hell yeah
Worf avenged two people with that win
everyone talking about Worf invoking his right but nobody talking about the midfight banter. “Then that is how it shall be!” is solidly the most badass line in TNG. Duras trying to threaten Worf for his life, and Worf being utterly uncaring of any consequence he could face for killing him. Whatever happens afterward, that’s just how things will go - it doesn’t matter, because Duras still has to die. That’s just so fucking hardcore.
You're joking right? Dorn's delivery sounds like some geek from ComicCon.
@@47imagine I always thought it was a throwback to the Klingon commander from star trek 3 just before he fights kirk.
If we don't help each other we'll die here
Perfect, then that's the way it shall be
@@WNShadow814 Interesting. Good catch. I love Search for Spock.
@@47imagineWell... That's actually who Worf is. His experience with Klingon culture IS mostly theoretical or based on his romanticized notion of Klingon culture which is shown to almost always be in tension with the reality of the morals and ethics of the Empire during Worf's life.
Worf sounds "cliche" because unlike every other Klingon he BELIEVES in the cliche to the Nth degree despite not being raised in the Klingon culture proper. There's a lot that is performative to a degree in Worf's character that's a mix of both overcompensation and genuine adoption of the Klingon code of conduct and ethics.
@@miguelvelez7221 Nah. Dorn just blows.
2:35 Ensign Ricky thinking: WOW, I survived a trip of the ship with 2 Senior officers. Good thing I changed into my Yellow shirt.
the red shirt thing was only for ToS enterprise, in subsequent series it security put on the gold shirts and command got the red. Plenty of security still died, just no where near as many. Especially in DS9 did a lot of gold shirt guys get killed.
@@Rembanspellsong so the yellow shirts are the new red shirts lol
Dude was a SERIOUS coward. Bringing up Worf's status was in effect him begging for his life. At that point he KNEW he was going to lose.
Truth always spoken by the Q Puncher 5000
He knew from the start that Worf is a superior fighter. But Duras could not back down because he would be branded a coward by his own crew and killed for that. It was game over for Duras.
i wished the klingons watching heard him say that
@@oldtwinsna8347 He prob hoped that been on a federation starship would mean his fighting skills were not up to par cause despite been allies the still saw Starfleet as not been a tough and warrior like
The Klingons are like. "It's a domestic dispute. There is nothing we can do to intervene. Things like this happen. No hard feelings. In fact, we think the whole sorid affair was ended in honor."
I love how they didn't do the typical "don't worf, if you kill him you will be just as bad as he is" BS. Next gen isn't my favorite trek but I have give it props here because I think most shows (especially in the 80's) wouldn't have had the guts to have worf kill him.
The first time I watched it I thought that was how it was going to play out! Glad I was wrong
lol, yeah the crew is like "Worf, we're here to save you!... Oh, seems like you handled it yourself..."
Duras getting killed is called old school justice. He deserved it.
Same as “The Enemy” (I think), where only Worf can save the Romulan with a blood transfusion.
A lesser show would have had Worf have a last minute change of heart and save him, but they actually let Worf stay within the bounds of his character and not budge, to the point that the Romulan actually dies.
Wait, we need another season.
"Hey, is that Worf walking down the access corridor, without his combadge, carrying a big-ass sword?"
"Yup."
"Should we. . . tell someone?"
"It's Worf. He does this every Tuesday."
O'Brian
All i saw was the door open and i decided to take a walk, but i programmed the coordinates to the Klingon ship for some reasion, i think Data or Riker mentioned it but i forget
Then I ran
@@donovanulrich348 nah. O'Brien saw Worf walk in carrying a sword with murder in his eyes, looked at his watch, said, "looks like my shift is over, sir," and walked away, leaving the console unlocked.
I mean...would YOU want to tell him to chill out?
Reminds of the "god-DAMN!" scene in Terminator.
Without the comm badge he is instantly 11x scarier.
Master Splinter from the 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie would say this to Duras:
“Death comes for us all, Duras, but something much worse comes for you… for when you die, it will be without honor.”
I love _how_ Worf invokes the right of vengeance in this scene. He doesn't disclose his relationship to K'Ehleyr to Duras. He says it to Duras's crew. He knows that if he just charges Duras, they'll stop him. So, he persuades them to let him fight Duras, by invoking a code of honor they have to respect.
It also backs Duras into a corner. He has no choice but to fight or risk having his entire crew desert him.
@@KyokujiFGC If Duras had refused Worf's Right of Vengeance, his first officer or whatever equivalent would have executed Duras for cowardice!
Such a bro move by Riker to slow-walk through that corridor.
That's some Willy Wonka energy
'ah, gosh darn it, Worf's gonna kill Duras, that's so bad, it's such a sham I didn't have my morning coffe and have to walk this slowly. You now what, better safe than sorry, lets reboot the transporter to make sure it's working properly.'
"K'Ehleyr was my mate."
Entire crew: "OOOH, SHIT!"
Crew: "Round of Blood wine?" "Yep!"
"I did NOT have this on my Council High Politics Bingo Card!!!"
That one guy pissed at Duras for taking the last bit of blood pie: You have fucked up, you have fucked up sir, you've fucked up now! Now you fucked up! Now you fucked up! Now you fucked up!
@wolfmantheimpale😂😂r
"Yep. He dead!"
The main thing I love about this scene is that in traditional episodic TV they would have stopped him at the last minute with some big speech about being the better man. Here it's like "nope, he's dead."
(Paraphrasing Sean Connery in, "The Untouchables") That's the KLINGON way... ;)
1:40 I swear you can almost hear that meme "It was at this moment Duras knew, he f*d up!!"
I actually edited a video with it in and uploaded it to my second channel... two days later the channel got took down 😭
Sonny locks the bar door: “Nowse you can’t leave”. At that moment all their strength was drained away”.
@@ericwaxman6437 Bronx Tale. Another good reference.
2:20 they always try to bargain when they know they're outmatched. Duras underestimated Worf in every sense, especially his depth of feeling.
Yeah, it was the wrong move because Worf already understood and accepted that he would be live in disgrace forever at that point, but Duras stole from him one of the things that would make such a life tolerable.
It was because Duras had no real honor. Only a coward would try to bargain for their life in a duel.
Duras was more a politician than a warrior; but even he underestimated Worf on that field.
@@Zoras88 and just like his father before him, he'd also allied himself with the Romulans and therefore, like his father, was also a traitor to The Klingon Empire
In short, he'd shown that the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree
@@GreenFenril more than just a politician thing - the Duras family was practically Romulan. They allied with them and acted like them. This is the same guy who used poison to kill the Chancellor and hired someone to murder Kurn. No self-respecting Klingon would try to talk his way out of a fight that knew he had coming, especially while he was in the middle of it.
2:13 Worf's response to Duras here resembles Kruge's response to Kirk when they fought hand-to-hand on Genesis: "Perfect. Then that's the way it shall be." True Klingon obstinacy!
When worf took his badge and sash off everyone thought this shit got real
F*ckin'-A, dewd. F*ck...in'... A.
Interesting that the transporter chief beamed him to the Klingon ship that way.
"This seems fine."
@@szinyk if a pissed of, armed Klingon wants a transport you don't ask questions :)
(it might be your last :D )
@@szinyk I think he beamed himself lol
@@stonem0013 also possible. I mean, Worf could have ordered the transporter chief not to report but, meh,I don't know
One of the few times in TNG where Worf got a win, showing just how much of a chad he really is. DS9 gave him even more and showed him to be a true legend.
Martok better keep one eye open. Worf is the leading cause of death for Klingon Chancellors.
2:35 I like how Riker's expression isn't shock, it's more "Ugh, this is going to be a lot of paperwork."
HR isn't going to like this!
@@randyobenchain96 I guess the closet thing to a, "H.R. Department" on the Enterprise is Counselor Troy... and Riker has some, "pull" with her... ;)
Two Starfleet human officers and an android officer, all armed, intending to arrest a pissed off Klingon who is avenging his mate.
Worf: Call an ambulance, but not for me!
Really tho
Picard sending everyone but Dr crusher was no mistake XD
Go Data, Riker Save Duras from Warf
Makes sense that the right of vengeance even applies to ostracized Klingons. Because even outcasts have loved ones.
Yep
Warf had no right
K'ylarh did
I also like how the reprimand Worf gets after this equates to him just being told, 'Don't ever do this again, or we will be really really mad at you.'.
I love this scene for the fact that Duras, as conniving and despicable as he was, didn’t slink away like a coward. He fought like a warrior, and died in single combat. Perhaps the one honorable act of his life. The storytelling on this show was simply amazing. 🖖😀
Whaaaa? He fought cause he had no choice. Remember, he is trying to lead the empire. If he had declined, it would have brought him dishonor and then there would be no way he could lead. Towards the end of the fight when he knew he was losing, he tried to convince Worf not to kill him if ever wanted a chance to restore his name. No, Duras has no honor.
The days when Star Trek tried to be nuanced and not egregiously biased.
Duras had zero options. He had probably bragged that he killed Khelar and Klingon law gave Worf the right to fight Duras for revenge of his mate. Any act of cowardice would make Duras a fair target of assassination by his own crew and his claim to lead the council would be forfeit. He fought because he had no choice, not out of honor.
Oh make no mistake under Klingon lore Duras will awaken on the Barge of the Dead on his way to Grethor, home of the dishounred dead!
oh, he had no choice. His crew knew what he did. He probably bragged about it. If he turned away Worf, he would be done. Even his loyal men would be might fuck off on him. Or try to kill him.
I like Picard’s “you better get the fuck over there” look.
the first time Worf chooses the leader of the empire
But not the last...
He killed both candidates in 2 different TV series!!!!!
Duras is a lousy fighter anyway. Gowron would have beaten him in like 5 seconds. All Worf had to do was hold the batleth in place and Duras just kept hitting it with his sword in the same place.
I always thought it would have been much more effective if Worf had removed his baldric when he originally received his discommodation.
Kept it off for the entire period, and had only replaced it when he went to avenge K’helar.
^^^^^^^^
This This would be gold
Or give the Sash to Alexander after this, cuz Alex is both there child
what I love about this scene, is it calls back to worfs discomendation and klingon concept of revenge, remember that duras was worried that kurn would declare revenge against him. the implication is that, if the slight is large enough, a klingon HAS to answer a challenge
and killing k'ehleyr was just such a thing
Warf had no Honor, no right, no claim
But K'ylarh was honorable, and had no right to die like that
Her mate has challenged, do you deny the challenge in dishonor? Duras would have no claim to the throne with that dishonor on his hands
I'll never forget the first time I saw this. For a split second I thought of course Worf will hold back. Gotta say when I saw him finish off Durass I rejoiced.
I thought the same thing XD
Like when they stopped Data from killing the collector with the illegal disruptor, by transporting him
One of Worf's finest moments.
Killing Gowron
Teaching Ensign Sito that it was unfair how Picard treated her by a pseudo-Klingon platform
@@torridd He had a lot of fine moments, but accepting his discommendation may be permanent in order to avenge K'Ehleyr is definitely near the top.
I realize K'ehleyr's was necessary for the story to continue, but I wasn't happy about it. I liked K'Ehleyr and believe she could have been included in future stories.
If they ever did a TNG mirror Universe episode K'Ehleyr + Yar should have both been in it.
And her son should be a total badass...
Yes, but they wouldn't have been able to do other EPs the same way, like New Ground, which is one of my faves. Even the dynamics of 'Ethics' would have been a little diff.
So Worf showed up to a transporter room without his Combadge, holding a weapon, and convinced them to let him transport over? #respect
And didn't tell the Captain. ;-)
Could have used a cargo transporter or went to a emergency transporter room that was not manned on a regular basis.
O'Brian didnt see anything
All he did was mess with the control panel and take a walk, no idea that was the klingon ship he locked on to He was busy walking by then
@@donovanulrich348Obviously, Miles was off duty, courting Keiko.
I'm sure would you stop a batleth wielding Klingon with grief and murder in his eyes?
i love how the moment duras realises that worf has the right this expression totally changes, the whole fight he tries to give reasons why worf shouldn't kill him. duras knew he was dead from the start if he couldnt weasel out of it.
Duras is a weasely coward. He knew he couldnt measure up to Worf in single combat, which is why he tried to avoid it at all. Say what you will about Gowron, but Gowron was no coward about throwing down.
When he said, “K’Ehleyr…was my mate” I was like, “He has EVERY right to be there to kill you Duras!”
In my head, I hear Morgan Freeman doing a voiceover saying "It was at that moment that Duras, a heartbeat away from becoming the Supreme Chancellor of the Klingon Empire, realized he dun f*cked up."
"Worf... no... stop... don't..."
I love the Willy wanka reference to Picard XD
But its "No. . . Wait. . . Dont . . . Stop" He silently tells you, keep going i dont give a fuck
No wait Dont stop Like keep up the good work XD
The Klingons respected their traditions here without any hesitation. 'She was your mate ? Okay, go ahead.'
Lol yep
Your a traitor?
Warf: yep, and i tapped that and my kid is on the ship, care to test the lineage?
Dude: nah, Duras is a prick. And hes in the mess hall, ill show you
@@donovanulrich348 yeah he was a prick, but it's more like all the Klingons understood his hunger for revenge.
Absolutely one of the few REAL moments where we see what being a Klingon is all about and who Worf is at heart.
Small wonder why Martok and the Kahless clone liked him so much.
Duras using a Sword was a nice, subtle touch to reinforce he wasn't a typical Klingon
If you mean not using a Bat'leth then yeah, although (in universe) it'll still have been a Klingon weapon of some sort, just one that resembles a Human sword more
More than that, the name bat'leth is a portmanteau of the Klingon words for honor and sword; his using a different weapon was one last way to say he was without honor even after he accepted the fight, subtly reinforcing that he was pressured into it rather than respecting Worf's claim
I'm not sure if I would agree. If I may add to 1IbramGaunt's comment, Klingons generally "preferred to use bladed weapons in combat" (Memory Alpha) and the sword Duras used didn't deviate from that statement. General Chang would also comment that everything is a weapon, if you've played Klingon Academy.
@@kailimyee7253 that may be true but if you look at typical klingon weaponry, especially the bladed weapons that all have very distinct shapes. Duras' sword definitely deviates from the norm.
@@Shiirow If the Picard show is any indication, that was actually a Romulan blade. Which adds even more to his dishonor (Klingons actually don't mind using the melee weapons of other cultures so much, but literally using the weapon of a hated enemy here that Duras had knowing allied with is pretty bad)
I love this clip. That look on Dr. Crusher’s face when the computer says that Worf has transported to the Klingon ship let’s you know “it’s about to go down.”
Really great to see Worf actually win a fight for once.
This storyline is so tragic. The secrets to Worf's "disgrace" die with both his love and the one who conspired to cause it. Worf isn't thinking anything other than "I'm going to kill the Klingon that killed my mate." When Picard reprimands him, none of them know the details of the conspiracy. It remains seen in their eyes as an act of lover's vengeance, and leaves the "disgrace" storyline open to continue.
Well Gowron fixed that. Then unfixed it. Gen Martok took Worf as his own clan member. So whatever legacy Mogh Had, Worf now has the imprimitur of the House of Martok!
@@Ozzy_2014 Wharf, son of Moth
@vipertxt of the deal made, yes. But unless she passed away, there is still an old klingon that knows how it went down. I believe she was Worfs nursemaid and the one who led him to the information on the traitor Duras that almost ripped the empire apart.
Nah, the whole Klingon High Council knew! That's why Gowron got him the pardon.
@@yadt auto. Correct. Auto.fail
I have no doubt that the comm badge wasn’t supposed to fall off the table onto the floor. I’m glad they left that in.
Adds just that much more of, "Eh... f*ck it..." to the scene... ;)
2:36 Riker is looking at data like bruh I know how fast you are. You totally could of stopped him.
I counted three mississippi's from when the door opened and Worf killed duras.
Data knows some people are better off dead..lol
And the security guard in the back still holstered and chill.
Yeah, but Data knows Klingon law and culture. That whole Prime Directive thing...
We are talking about the same Data who calculated the collector would be better off dead right? And they transported him (by comm badge) and stoped him
Worf is a BOSS. I mean, that WHOLE ship was loyal to that jerk, and I'm quite certain he was prepared to go through all of them to park that Bat'leth in the right spot......
given that duras crimes were covered up, odds are the warriors serving on that ship didnt know what duras had done. worf challenged duras in accordance with klingon law and tradition. no honorable warrior would interfere.
I love how everyone around him realized that it was his duty to fight and Duras had to. And then when he killed him no Klingon batted an eye.
"He has claimed the right of vengeance."
"You have no rights here traitor!"
"K'Ehleyr. . . . . .was my mate"
*Klingons* "Understandable."
Exactly
Duras "You have no rights"
Warf: "Im not claiming i have any"
Duras "fuck my life"
Wouldn't you seek revenge on the filth who murdered your SO? Of course they stood by.
I love how casually Worf throws his sash and communicator aside. Shows there's nothing going stop him now.
When Worf throws off the sash and the comm badge, you know shit's about to go down big time.
2:30
Only thing better is if Riker said to Data, “Did you see anything?”…
‘Yes sir, I saw…’
“Data, I want you to run a 400 year diagnostics on your visual perception… or shut up.”
‘Ah, yes sir… I understand.’
"400 year diagnostic" 🤣🤣🤣
I thought the computer tracked where a person was using their communicator. But Worf tossed it aside in his quarters.
Every use of the transporter is logged.
System didn't just track combadges, but also DNA. That Worf was enlisted means the computer knows him, as well as how he transported over to Durass' ship. Either he used his own computer codes, or the transporter operator logged who was transported.
Except that I'm nearly certain that they've used "Well, he took his comm off, so we have no idea where he is," tact in other episodes.
@@bobbyfeet2240 Ah yes, beauty of inconsistent writing
Comm badge are advance locators, ment for the transporter to distinguish your exact location, and distinguish the difference between you and other biological DNA aswell as surfaces so we dont bring you and a metal panel back as one
The best part is the right of vengeance belongs to the slain, and anyone can claim it so long as they are family or lovers. It wasn't Worf who claimed it, much to Duras' shock; it was K'Ehleyr's mate. Duras was screwed the moment he heard that, and knew he was going to die. That's why he tried to talk Worf out of it, and Worf cared so much more about her than himself, he resigned himself to forever being a traitor regardless of the truth. All for the love of his mate.
I love Worf. I’m so glad they spent time with the Klingon empire and development the stories with them and Worf
This was one of the moments that I knew Worf was my favorite Star Trek character.
He didn't care what faction he was part of..................he wanted vengeance and didn't care about the consequences!! #Gangsta
Surely one of Worf's top ten most badass moments in TNG or DS9. Which dusproves the narrative that Worf was always nerfed and never showed what a skilled warrior he was presented as. This moment, taking out Gowron, the matches against the J'emhadar with Martok as his Mickey... Lots of them if you oay attention.
My fave part of this clip is how Duras wasn't aware but the second it is dropped he has NO choice. Even being exiled, even being accused of familial dishonor, every other Klingon in that room understood Duras had to fight, and Worf knew it too. And Worf also suspected an elite asshat like Duras would be easy to overcome. He knew it was going to be a quick slaughter.
Such a good moment in TNG.
I really like Worf's long-term character arc. This was the first time he basically chose the next leader of the Klingon empire.
I like how Worf checks the condition of his weapon before going to kill Duras. It says that this is not merely blind rage he is locked in. It's more something he HAS to do... and just checking his tool is in good shape to accomplish the deed. Kill Bill style.
Edit: [me] *adds "Worf" to spellcheck dictionary* [Google] "mmm, Nope. You're still wrong. This is 'word'. You meant 'word."
He also left his communications badge behind as well, signifying he wasn't there as a starfleet officer, which was a nice touch.
google has NO HONOUR!!!
@@InfernosReaper Now that you've mentioned that, dropping his baldric means he's not there as a member of the House of Mogh either. This is all, my name is Worf and you killed my woman.
He was also dead calm during the whole ordeal. No grunting or rage. Every movement was smooth and he looked like he owned the fight from the first swing.
@@InfernosReaper Can't disobey an order if you can't hear it.
Worf used his Bean'Leth.
I like how this is the few times we see a Klingon using a more traditional looking sword instead of the Bat'leth
Riker: “Worf!”
(kills Duras)
Riker: “Guys, I tried to stop him. You heard me yell his name real loud.”
The only time Duras showed any amount of honor...and it cost him his life....I think thats wonderful
Duras knew his crew would turn on him if he denied a legitimate challenge.
word would have spread in the empire and any credible claim he had to power would be gone. His only chance would be to kill Worf.
Rock and a hard place much?
This is such smart writing. Duras who had no qualms of hiring assassins to kill Worf's Cha'DIch now has been forced to defend this challenge or lose everything he has worked for due to the Ja'chuch in play cause he has lost respect from his crew which from Sins of the Father is something to be a noteworthy by Klingon law. He has no choice but to fight one on one with someone he knows is a Superior warrior. Such great use of lore
Hooray I loved that so much!!!!
Thank you Jeremy for sharing it with me
This scene always gives me Chills. It solidified Worf as my second favorite character in TNG and favorite character in DS9.
I love how Riker yells "WORF!!!", but right away is like 😶 all calm and not caring that Worf just killed a man🤣🤣
Like, oh well,🤷 you cool now?😎
A temporary reprimand will appear in your record and if you avoid killing anyone else for the next 90-days it will be expunged. "I will try to contain my murderous rage, but my heart is Klingon...I cannot make any promises...sir!"
"he has claimed the right of... Beans!"
Klingons: Gasps* "murmurs"
Lots of beans!
You have no beans here, traitor!!"
Damn, I forgot how great this show is. I watched every episode (and most multiple times) growing up. And I unlike a lot of things that I can look back on and think 'I was a kid, just thought that was cool.' ST:TNG and DS9 just keep getting better with age.
Duras: You have no food here, traitor.
Worf: The BEANS...were my DINNER.
(Excited Klingon murmuring)
This was a Fantastic storyline throughout TNG, All the Klingon Empire related stuff and Worf's journey.
I do so love how Elegant Worf's fighting style is when the script allows for him to cut loose,
All too often he's called upon to make the monster /threat of the week look tough and gets his arse handed to him 😆😆😆
Can we all appreciate that Data and Riker look at each other suggesting thoughts of shock that Worf has killed Duras.
Meanwhile the security officer just has a stoic look on his face?
(Riker and Data turn towards each other, nod gently, then, back on Enterprise... "I'm sorry, Captain... Worf had dealt the fatal blow to Duras BEFORE the doors had opened and we had a chance to stop him..." )
After all... Riker's directive was that, "Worf is coming back with Us..." Riker did not say WHEN Worf was to come back, and I'm sure Worf had no problem going back to Enterprise after dealing with Duras... ;)
The starfleet security officer is so highly trained, the equivalent of a Maco officer of the 2150s, that he stands there doing nothing because he is so powerful.
Always found it interesting how the Klingons acknowledged Worf’s right to vengeance. Kurn, Worf’s own brother, was relieved of his obligation to seek revenge when Worf accepted a discommendation. However that disgrace did not relieve Worf of his obligation, and right, to avenge his mate.
The difference is that Worf accepted discommendation, he was not killed.
Duras was a pice of shit, he denied Warf here. Without hearing him Your fucking trooper isent escorting a traitor to you
Warf has no right, no honor
K'ylarh Was a honorable representative, and had no right to die in disgrace
She chose wisely in a mate, did you plan accordingly?
The right is due to Keh'lar being a Klingon, not upon Worf's status as a Klingon. It was established that a non-Klingon mate could assume this right.
1:40 it was then Duras realized he was ten kinds of screwed
Him and everyone around him.
Duras: " you can fight me, you have no honor"
Warf: " I do not stand on my honor, K'ylarh was my mate"
Duras: *looks around* ("im gonna have to fight arnt I") "alright"
Problem #1 : Everyone knows that Duras murdered a defenseless female in cold blood, but somehow he is not accountable for anything aside from Worf dueling him. As the murder was on a Federation ship, being in a Federation prison for the rest of his life would be a greater punishment for Duras.
Problem #2 : Why did K'Ehyler even let him in? And why didn't she call security? And why doesn't the Enterprise have sensors that notify sickbay and beam the patient over once anyone's lifesigns suddenly plunge? She was laying there stabbed and dying for half an hour, ON the Enterprise.
For problem 2, she wasn't wearing a ship's badge, which is I believe the focal point for such sensors. But the basic issue is, as always, computers do as they are told and DO NOT do as they are NOT told.
@@kegginstructure No. Non-starfleet civilians (such as children) on the Enterprise don't wear badges, but still can be detected in case of medical emergencies. They were also able to beam people without badges (like Kevin and Rishon Uxbridge) right onto the ship, with no badge.
Plus, doesn't this very clip reveal that comm badge or not, they knew where Worf was (and that he was not on the Enterprise even though his Comm badge WAS)?
Remember the episode of tos.captain Kirk was being tried for murder.the ships computer had to identify and remove each person's heartbeat from the noise .that's how they found the not so dead dead man lol
@@lostinthefuture9300 That was presumably some time ago and very many iterations of computer software/hardware changes.
This is one of the few recurring technical inconsistencies with how Starfleet ships operate in the 24th century, along with how easy it is to get through the shields with teleporters. Or weapons-fire.
K'ehyler let him in because he was one of the candidates for leadership and she was the arbitrator. She was compelled to listen to him. As for why she didn't call security, it was a private meeting and she may have been too proud to ask for help.
2:39 😂 he looks so satisfied with himself here
Oh, this was the bomb. It let us know TNG was just going to keep getting better.
Gowron: "It was a common explosive" 😂😂😂
@@1993bahamut
Lol
He is Worf, son of Mogh, bane of the Duras family.
Duras to the end trying to make a sleazy deal.
This was one of the first if not the first, episodes directed by Jonathan Frakes, Right away, I think we knew he was going to be a great director, and to this day I get enthused when I see news that he'll be directing an episode of ST:SNW, The Orville, or any other show.
Interesting that an armed Federation boarding party was allowed to even step foot off the transporter pad of a Klingon ship.
Bold to assume Worf left anyone conscious along the way if they tried to stop him. :)
(I joke. I bet everyone was actually there to watch the fight... both as entertainment and to be witnesses to the outcome.)
Pretty sure Warf got an escort
And the Lt's all teleported straight to the door to see Warf do it XD
Need Witnesses after all
Went like this:
This is Worf at his best. I love how he whacked Duras with that bat'leth like he was chopping wood.
I wish we saw him put his foot on his chest to pull it out. That thing was standing up on it's own it was so deep!
@@seriouslypretending 👍😁
Fuck that floor, it got in the way of my blade XD
