They won't. People won't. Mob mentality rules the day. Owning the other party is all that matters, being RIGHT is all that matters. I mean, ostensibly, the left is a better poison than the right. It'll make you puke, but you'll survive. The right is lethal, designed to destroy all in it's path. It's truly staggering the things humans will convince themselves of so long as they're RIGHT. It's almost a mental disease in some. These fools would stand there while Trump knocks on their door, steals everything they own, kidnaps their children, and slaps them in the face, all the while telling them "It's not me. It's not! It's Obama doing this. It's Hillary. It's Pelosi." And they'd believe him without question. Why? Well, we've always been at war with EastAsia, right? Only the party matters. The Inner Circle and Outer Circle and the Proles. The color blue is a liberal lie, so let's create a new conservative color to replace it, an AMERICAN color. So long as it's not Obama taking from them...so long as it's not a black man, they're fine with it. Own the Libs. BE RIGHT. I read 1984 in grade school, but I honestly never thought I'd live to see it come true. I was raised believing that the Nazi's were the bad guys in WWII (or at least more overtly evil than everyone else involved), but now they are essentially a recognized political party, and march in the streets, and if anyone DARES oppose them, they are labeled terrorists and regressives who want to stifle free speech. Cops blast anyone and everyone to death for looking at them cross-eyed, and are labelled heroes for it (I mean, that toddler WAS making aggressive motions toward that cop with the bazooka). They murder children without consequence. We have literal concentration camps at the border, with our Fuhrer telling us we have to kidnap children. For the good of the nation. I won't live to see it, but I hope, in the far off future (and it will be far, far off, thousands of years if we manage to not destroy ourselves, which is unlikely), that humanity lives to see every nation crumble. Every border erased. Every flag burned, and unite as one. Capitalism erased. Communism erased. Governments erased. And whenever greed and power mongers try to rise, we kick them back down to hell where they belong. Barring that, I'd be perfectly fine with a giant meteor turning Earth into a cosmic memory, because as a whole, we sure as hell deserve it.

Worf pretty quickly begins to hold you in high regard. Even early in the story for a KDF character, you run into multiple honorable Klingons, like K'Gan (who starts off as your B'rel's Third Officer and you as the Second Officer, only to become your First Officer once you gain command of the ship) and Ch'Gren (who joins you after you save him from Nausicaan pirates who ambushed him, and out of gratitude for avenging his par'Mach after your treacherous Captain killed her for trying to expose his treachery).

And the manner in which what comes out of the process becomes a more robust, more complex and resilient character who manages to honour both worlds.

Not sure if it was ever stated canonically, or just as an explanation, but the Galaxy class was supposedly designed for 10 year+ science/exploration missions, able to operate WELL beyond Federation space, which would mean that they'd have to allow families to get enough people willing to be assigned on such a mission. And saucer separation was intended so they leave the civilians behind when they knew they'd be entering dangerous areas or situations. The first idea never came to fruition if it was the true intent for the ship's design, the second didn't get used to it's fullest extent. It was never meant to be a war ship, but got in more trouble than it should, which is why I think it was mentioned at some point (or again, non canonically) that the "experiment" of kids/families on starships was considered a failure, and almost totally done away with by the time the Dominion War started (and outside Enterprise-D and maybe another Galaxy class or two, civilian family members/kids were only allowed in very rare circumstances).

Worf was raised by humans in the Federation, growing up he had an idealized idea what Klingons were like versus what they were actually like. Then he meets and befriends many Klingons and builds a truly admirable respect for the Klingon civilization.

you run out to a corridor where a bunch of people stand and are looking at each other. one of them picks you up for a few seconds, then hands you back to your mother. where's the bravery? (also, yes, he handed the child to worf, who then handed it back to mother. which seemed, and still seems, very weird, bordering on silly, in that scene. and in general, the whole scene is kind of... weirder, sillier, than I remembered it...)

Cowards, are not Klingons. klingon, is more than genetics. Duras for example, had to hide his Cowardice and Treachery. Kruge, is more complicated. he took prisoners, to try and discover the secrets of the Federation's weapon of mass destruction. the difference between a Hostage and a prisoner, is that the prisoner is an enemy combatant captured in warfare, while the "hostage" in this case is a child / civilian. klingons, as we see all the time, have some weird lines they are willing to draw. but then, that's what makes them human. mortal. and not just machines that always perfect in following the rules of their belief.

To those pointing out all the times in TOS that Klingons took hostages: TNG takes place a CONSIDERABLE amount of time after TOS, and a culture's values can change an awful lot in just a few decades. It could be that in the time gap, some Klingon philosophers managed to successfully argue that taking hostages was cowardly and dishonorable, and this was accepted by Klingon society as agreed for the most part. It could be their interaction with the Federation and seeing their own brand of honor caused them to review their own.
@tilasole32528 ай бұрын
Man of the cloth, if they chose, could take a hostage. It's fight or flight type of thing. Although you make a point, look at the Klingon counsel who willingly let Worf take the dishonour after they discovered (or already knew, but we're looking the other way) and the whole reason that even took place to start with. Also Gowron giving Martok even more impossible tasks on DS9. Not all had honour. And if honour, not the same that humans would perceive as honourable deeds at least.

@tilasole3252 No society, whatever their moral values, is one hundred percent homogenous in adherence to those values. Simply put; there's always a bastard.

This statement works on so many levels if you truly follow Worf throughout his whole development. He always held to a slightly romanticized version of Klingons, the rigid black and white book version, because he never lived with them to learn the grey areas. It's a perfect example in this scene, his pride that the warrior race of honor would never sink so low, but nothing is ever so black and white. It's how his character was portrayed forever and why he was held as the paragon of honor, loyalty, duty.

Warf is referring to the idealized Klingon archetype, the heroic warrior of honor, integrity, valor, etc. All of that became corrupted over the years as the Klingon Empire became obsessed with power, deception, and intrigue, like all empires. There are Klingons that have adhered to the code and speak truthfully, but they don't last long against the corrupt forces conspiring against them.
