@vipertxt Worf had a moment of weakness there...Luckily his younger brother was there to bring the son of Mogh back around and preserve his klingon honor and glory That's what a true brother does =D
0:31......"Keep your PLACE!!" I liked this scene for the power dynamics is showed - Worf may be the elder brother and thus essentially head of the House of Mogh, but aboard his brother's ship, Kurn IS the commander and the one in charge. Worf obeys!!
Yea that was horrendous. It was wrong and horrible to assist his suicide, but somehow it was fine to lobotomize him without his consent or even knowledge. He didn't even get to know that that time falling asleep drunk would be his last. It's not even some insane thing Worf did on his own, he needed Bashir, who I'm assuming needed Sisko's okay. They all agreed this was an acceptable thing to do. I sometimes wonder what happened to mind wiped Kurn, is he still out there somewhere? Or did he die fighting against the Dominion never knowing who he was? That story was evil on the level of Tuvix from Voyager.
@@Commanderziff I like to think that once Wolf got his standing back in the empire, an by the end of DS9 he was Martok right hand man, overthrower of Gowon, a Dominion war hero. He was made lead ambassador to the Federation. Martok restore the House Mogh to its former standing.. He was probably the second most powerful individual in the empire at that point. He and Bashir went an restore Kurn memories and explain why he did what he did. An he took up his rightful place at the side of Worf, with the House of Noggra being awarded as well.
@@DavidKnowles0 They had his memories stored on a flash drive somewhere? They track him down and rip away whatever life he's managed to put together for himself in the intervening years? No, there's no redemption for that, there's no fixing that. That's just an insanely wrong and evil thing that Worf did. I would hope that if there was some way to restore his memories, that Kurn would never speak to Worf again. This ending of this episode is horrendous, but imagining some weird scenario where there are no consequences for it is almost more horrible. Actions have consequences, and sometimes you can't take them back.

How ironic is it that he was undone by a photon torpedo that had been modified to chase after natural gas emissions that came from his ship. So in a way, Kirk used Chang's own philosophy against him.
Tony Todd had the Kurn character down pat ! Top Notch! He and Michael Dorn made this work fantastic! More than 30 years later Kurn in these two episodes remains widely admired!
I loved it when he first went onto the Enterprise and "Shook things up" as Picard said. He laid into Wesley Crusher HARD you could almost feel the discipline and authority oozing through the Screen, Tony Todd is a great Actor.
Like Kor, Kang and Koloth were white actors. Everything up to Worf was white actors. Then it changed. There were other Klingons before Kurn. Some white some black afterwards. Lots of black actors played the Jem Hadar. Lotta Good ones.
That's Tony Todd. Great actor and an important member of the Star Trek family. He gives an excellent performance in "Prelude To Axanar" as Admiral Marcus Ramirez.
These episodes did a really good job of showing how Worf is an academic student of Klingon culture, whereas Kurn actually lives it on a daily basis. Worf has been trained to follow regulations like a federation officer, and doesn't take lightly risking his life. Kurn is truly ready to die at any time, and may well be the cause of it.
Yes but what was the tear for? Klingons don’t have tear ducts? He should be celebrating the death of the enemy Klingons by roaring for them not shedding a tear when they died… hell he shouldn’t be shedding any tears since they physically can’t.
Tony Todd was great in the few roles he had on Startrek (Commander Kurn, the Hirogen hunter on Voyager, and old Jake Sisko). It's a shame he didn't get a more regular part. Personally, I think Tony Todd would have been an excellent choice to have played Captain Benjamin Sisko (instead of Avery Brooks).
Yes, I remember being in the grad dorm at Michigan state, ALL of the nerds were there for this season premier and no one was disappointed! Those were the days!
if they had used the Kirk Maneuver, they would have used the suns gravitational pull to sling shot around, travel back in time and destroyed the Klingon ship before it started its pursuit.
@@Shiirow I think the one disadvantage there is the other ships might be able to follow them through time and far as I know it is not currently possible with their level of technology to accurately determine how far back in time they will travel
Worf: "We cannot win! We must withdraw!" Kurn: "What the HELL do you think we've been doing?!!" (Knocks on Worf's head) "Hello?! Anybody home? Think, Worf. Think!"
@@hobomike6935 We can build spaceships that can fly all over the galaxy at many times the speed of light, but we can't build a simple control console that won't explode and kill anyone near them at the first of trouble.😀
Well in their defense, rigging some consoles to spark is a lot quicker and cheaper than destroying the set every week. A series has to extend their special effects budget over many episodes, whereas a movie can shoot their special effects load all at once.
It's not "explodium". In Star Trek all the major races use plasma, not electricity, to power their systems. There are EPS conduits all over the ship that use forcefields to contain the plasma circulating through them. When a ship is subjected to more energy and heat than it can dissipate, the result is an overload that exits via the weakest parts of the ship. In this case: consoles. Any materials that were in the way are instantly reduced to carbon chunks which look like, you guessed it, rocks.
Kurn earned his way into sto’vo’kor with that move held his place no fear could die at any moment put his older bro in his place That’s what it means to be Klingon
@@power2084 Mahg (sp) is the captain/higher up leader of the Klingon ships that followed Kurn's bird of prey to close to the sun. Kurn says above quote just prior to discussing 'port stabilizer' repairs with Worf. Always a good line to use after killing off an opponents minions!
We need a STAR TREK: THE WORF CHRONICLES series with Tony Todd returning as an older and wider but more ferocious Kurn, who proved himself a master tactician here.
That could work, but there's one small problem, a DS9 episode by the name of "The Sons of Mogh". They'd effectively have to deus ex machina a way for Kurn's memories to return after Worf had them wiped so that he could assume a new identity free of dishonor.
@@DelcoRanz93while you are correct, Worf has his honour back being both a member of the House of Martok and Federation Ambassador to Qonos. So they could easily say he had his memories restored.
It isn't possible to have him return unless you have some ridiculous story to it, like they say one single cell of Kurn withstood the memory wiping and that single cell alone allowed for all his memories back.
Kurn is a legitimate badass and quite a capable commander. And if they were not then involved in battle and the crew questioned him like this, he’d have killed them at the dinner table.
I love how Kurn is like Commander Kruge a savage brute and his seemingly much more intellectual and civel subordinates are scared shitless of him. Yet they both turn put to be effective commanders..
Kurn wasn’t made soft, by living with humans, like his older brother. But that’s part of what makes this scene so great, and why I admire these writers so much. Worf fell back on his Federation training, while Kurn responded exactly as his training dictated, in the Klingon way. 🖖😀
More like complete BS. Explain how aft shields have buckled and two seconds later you see the ship take 4 hits to its aft shields. If the aft shields were really gone the BoP should have exploded mere seconds after Worf said they could not win. Kurn activated plot armor to get his ship to survive into the star.
It has nothing to do with living with humans but more how the enterprise operated as opposed to a Klingon ship. Kurn took lots of risks & almost got everyone killed if not for the cowboy like maneuver he pulled out of his ass in the end. Klingons will charge into battle head on without fear which is why they get killed a lot but they don't care if they fought with honor.
Worf was soft? He only knew to rely on his federation training in this scenario. His lack of experience in not being a captain of a starship is what you see hear. Not softness. He was possibly the strongest and most honorable of his race. If you watched his evolution from Next Gen through DS9 then you'd know that already. Especially when he whipped the Gem hadar combatants in their prison camps. He never yielded and instead of killing him (after they disallowed him ample to to recoup between fights) they honored his actions and one died for Worfs bravery). As well as challenging Gowron who was the head of the Empire in a fight to the death. *who he called out in front of the entire Klingon high council* not the actions of a soft being
Star Trek really drops the ball when it comes to "stellar scenes" like this, for many reasons: 1. The sunlight should be absolutely blinding, even from millions of miles away 2. The heat and light radiation alone would destroy ANY ship long before it got close, especially if the shields had failed 3. When they are right above the stellar surface, you can still see the curvature, which just does not work as stars are massive There are many more reasons than this, but this is all I can think of off the top of my head.
1. The view screen have light filters. 2. The haul of the ship can with stand the heat for a short time. 3. They are not in the sun they are in the corona sphear.
I enjoyed the somewhat ponderous pace of TNG space battles, like here and in the fight between the Bortas and Duras' loyalists in the episode before this. While not necessarily "realistic," these scenes conveyed a sense of scale and mass that made me believe we were dealing with ships which could wreak mass destruction on a planetary level, and the only reason they had to wait between shots was to build up the kind of energies that could rival huge nuclear yields and such.
when they fail the engineers have to shift power from the other shields to compensate. Shield failure means they have to cover the hole and create another one somewhere, which is risky. Eventually all the shields collapse and they are left with hull armor, like the Enterprise in ST VI.
I think Kurt didn’t off’d Worf when he offered his suggestion because he’s his older brother but still maintained composure, his wits and quick thinking. Masterful tactician and very deadly
That had to be some of the cheesiest visual effects I've seen. The "Explosions" are just the two ships getting briefly replaced by yellow clouds before vanishing like they never existed. Trek had much better visual effects in the old days when they actual loaded models with primacord and blew them up.
And what makes this scene even more spectacular and just downright great is the tactic that was used to bait the enemy in before jumping to warp. But hold on! Don't give the writers too much credit here because if there are any of us in the comments section who read ALL the Star trek novels starting with volume 1 STTMP knows this tactic was used in one of the novels. I wish I can remember which book it was from. Maybe "The Wounded Sky" but not certain. And those books were great as well.

Beverly crusher used the same maneuver when she had command of the enterprise in TNG,With metastatic shields
Its a shame kurn ended up like he did. He is a damn genius
That's a lot of hits and pretty close to a star for aft shields being "gone."
Sadly, Kurn will never remember this glorious day since Worf had his memory wiped.
I hear that if you look in a mirror and say Kurn's name three times in a row, he appears as a ghost and slays your enemies.
Humans: slingshot around planetoids to escape energy/leeching devices
Klingons: slingshot around stars to destroy overwhelming enemy forces
.......the starship can brush up against a sun and survive? Holy shit.
Word's younger brother put big brother in his place while in command = priceless
Worf may be elder, but Kurn is still the captain, and his word is law aboard the ship.
The Kurn Maneuver.
Kurn is a BOSS.
Kurn kicks ass. A true Klingon.
RIP to the brave warriors on the IKV Bad CGI 1 and IKV Bad CGI 2....
That bad CGI was good in 1991, kid.
They bathed in Photonic Emissions!
I don't understand how some Trek ships can take a pounding and others fall apart if you look at them wrong.
Tody Todd rips up the fuckin scene just by looking around, doesn't even get up.
0:05 I’m thinking “Bulkhead debris to the face.” wasn’t honourable enough to send him to Sto-vo-kor.
Everyone is always a genius tactician, except the enemies
I love Kurn
Tony Todd made a great Klingon. They should have used him more on Startrek.
If I didn’t know better I’d say Captain Kern is related to Captain James T Kirk a human from earth
