First Time Watching ALL of Star Trek - Episode 172: Sins of the Father (TNG S3E17)

[@rocom]

You’re either a cha’DIch or a Chad 😂

[@KMallinson]

Worf mythologised his own people from afar. In trying to be worthy he accidentally became the most honourable Klingon alive.

[@jguzman1326]

He knew that honor was important to Klingons, but learned the concepts of honor from humanity

[@Flatlander81]

Yeah he's basically been reading fairy tales about Klingons all his life and managed to make himself the Klingon equivalent to Prince Charming while all the native Klingons understood that that standard was impossible to reach.

[@RandomNPC001]

To quote Yoda: "No, there is another!"

[@silikon2]

Yeah and for these reasons I think Tony Todd's performance as Kurn established what a Klingon proper is like. Nothing against Dorn, who certainly nailed Worf, but Worf is a multi culti Klingon not a "real" one.

[@Anthyrion]

Yep, he is more Klingon than the Klingons on their own home world. Especially those in high places

[@omegastar19]

Tony Todd is one of the finest guest actors to ever appear on Star Trek. He elevates his characters to a whole new level.

[@DustoMan]

I can't believe I haven't noticed it was him until now.

"Prey" is also one of my favourite Trek episodes of all time. Another good performance!

[@doombringer888]

"You are the son of a traitor" *backhand* "Now I am ready" -- one of the best Worf lines!

The smile on K'Mpek's face when Worf hits Duras.

[@komradewirelesscaller6716]

"I shall try some of your burned and replicated bird meat!" One of the best lines ever from any Trek series! And Tony Todd was great as Kurn!

[@Flatlander81]

Tony Todd was great, full stop. That man is wonderful in anything he does, a truly underappreciated talent.

[@TriarchVisgroup]

I do love the subtlety of his performance there, because he's eager to try the food, yet concerned... and then when Picard tells him about the Caviar, Kurn bows his head slightly. He's truly humbled to have his commander share what would be seen as "the spoils of war" on a Klingon ship.

[@patsk8872]

I always wondered why they would choose turkey and caviar for the meal. I mean, they knew the klingon food choices. There are plenty of human foods that would have been more compatible and less "bland" than a freaking roast turkey. I guess the writers just wanted the small plot point for contrast.

[@komradewirelesscaller6716]

This was a great episode. The beginning of a great arc. I love most any Worf led episode. Tony Todd was perfect as Kurn. My second favorite Klingon.

Another top 15 episode of the series. I love Worf -- Michael Dorn was to Klingons what Leonard Nimoy was to Vulcans.

[@patsk8872]

Can you believe that Gene Roddenberry didn't even want the Worf character beyond just having a klingon stand there in the background to show that they weren't the enemy anymore. LOL

[@fakecubed]

@@patsk8872 He also didn't want a bridge set, he wanted everyone to just sit around the conference room and talk about things and then when they made a decision speak to the computer and tell it to do whatever and resolve the situation outside the room. By the time TNG was in production, he was a full blown nut, high on his own ego built up by years of people praising him and making him out to be some kind of messiah because he once wrote a TV pilot in 1964. Practically every decision he had a hand in on TNG was wrong.

[@mjbull5156]

Klingon Resources Department: "I feel harassed by my supervisor. He is not treating me like crap!"

[@theevilascotcompany9255]

The positive part about a culture where everything is settled by a death match is that there's little need for HR, lol.

[@dereklocke18]

Resources Officer's reply: "So kill him! Why are you wasting time talking to me about it?!"

[@ThomasReeves-s7u]

The fun thing is you can really see how the way treating Worf truly is worse than the others. He's tough because he indicates he expects much. Not being tough on Worf then kind of reads as "I don't think much of you in comparison" and a way to goad him to ultimately test his worth. (Which he passes.) It is odd though none of the humans seemed to pick up on this.

[@MKDumas1981]

​@@ThomasReeves-s7u: That is the response of a Klingon! The response I would expect...of my older brother.

[@TheElderBlotch]

Ronald D Moore and Klingons is a match made in Sto'Vo'Kor and Tony Todd crushed it as Kurn, one of my favourite Klingon characters. A truly excellent and hugely impactful episode, love seeing Picard and Worf's mutual respect and best of all, "You may test that assumption at your convenience" Picard's classy way of saying "f*ck around and find out".

[@MrJerks93]

Such a badass line!

[@dereklocke18]

[@karlsmith2570]

8:19 "It Wouldn't Make Sense Timeline Wise, Unless Klingons Live A Long Time" Well, technically, Klingons do have a long lifespan, but Charles Cooper is playing a totally different Klingon character in the episode of TNG

Episodes like this is the reason why Ronald D. Moore became know as the "Klingon guy". The man pushed the Klingons to an absolute cult for fans, they were liked before, but after his run in Trek they became LEGENDARY.

[@Choalith_Ikanthe]

Its true. When you see Klingons at conventions, its always in the TNG style. That's because he made them leap off the page and off the screen like figures of myth.

[@actor_jim]

Knew this one would be a hit with you guys. Love this one. Picard has the great "Fuck around and find out" moment with Duras saying Starfleet doesn't teach their officers to fight, and Picard just says "You may test that assumption at your convenience."

I guess Duras never heard the story about Picard's skirmish with several Nausicaans 😂

[@DiggerTheDwarf]

@@CanuckGod To be fair, Picard didn't exactly come out of that one unscathed lol

[@DamienDrake2940]

My favorite scene has always been when Picard goes into Captain mode at the end and Worf snaps to. Than when Worf says he will be silent Picard physically stands down. Such subtle movements say so much about the characters and the actors talent. Tony Todd and several other Start Trek guest actors did a low budget movie written by a Star Trek writer I think you guys would like. It's on Prime and called The Man from Earth. Very basic movie that is just a group of academics sitting in a guys living room trying to decide if a fantastic story a friend is telling them is real.

[@nicholasbartonlaw341]

I love Worf, my character in Pathfinder is basically Worf in another universe. He’s been downed in every fight so far as he throws himself in danger and engages in hand to hand combat to protect everyone else, just like the real Worf.

[@Nergalsama01]

This is where Worf's story really gets going. One of my favorite things in Trek.

[@RedmoonIndustries]

It's the first time we have seen it, but Klingon Cranial Ridges are genetic. You will notice after I point it out, that Kurn's Ridges are the same as Worf's.

[@caveatlector2671]

The showrunners and Art/Makeup department decided early on to treat the Klingon cranial ridges as sort of a familial fingerprint; this was the first episode where it truly became obvious.

[@MrSheckstr]

Somewhere out there is a WORF remix of White Zombie’s first hit retitled “More Klingon Than Klingon”

[@brandonbennett2815]

That backhand to Durass!!!! One of the best episodes.

[@BammerD]

You are correct. The chancellor of the high counsel, K'Mpec, is played by the same actor who played General Korrd in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

[@CanuckGod]

Same actor, but different character, so I could see where they might be a bit confused on that front.

Indeed, he is the real hero. Sacrificing his honor to prevent the Empire from sinking into civil war.

[@Analog_Mind47]

In this episode exploring the intricate world of Klingon politics we learn the difference between Real Honor & the currency of Fake Honor

[@FireDragons42]

A subtle way they tease that Kurn is Worf’s brother is with his ridges. Worf and Kurn who are brothers share the same forehead ridges. Other families will have their own designs. This is something that will be kept consistent that Klingons who are closely related will share the same ridge pattern.

[@silikon2]

It's wild how epic this episode is. It starts with the officer exchange story and fleshes it out quite well before we learn it's a ruse, Worf has an unknown brother and we end up on the Klingons' home planet with a believable threat to the empire. And it includes an attack on both Kurn and Picard to boot. Yet it never feels rushed at all.

1. Great intro showing the evolution of reactions. 2. Don't know if you've seen it before ... but near the beginning, when Riker sits down with Wesley in Ten-Forward -- when Riker steps over the back of the chair to sit down, that has become known as "the Riker Maneuver." Going forward, you will never NOT notice it. 3. Tony Todd ROCKS in this role. He will have other guest roles in the S.T. franchise, and he kills it each time. 4. Picard with one of the greatest flexes in all of S.T. when he bitch-slaps the Klingon with his FAFO comment.

[@wolfmanAl]

Also of note is that this Episode is the first time that we see Qo'noS (Kronos), the klingon homeworld.

[@daniellanctot6548]

*_You were correct that the actor playing K'mpec was in Star Trek V, but wrong that he was playing the same character as he played Korrd. It is certainly not the first (or last) time that an actor plays multiple roles with the extended Star Trek Universe and, like in some cases where the actor plays the same race within different time periods, it was retroactively stated that K’mpec is the Nephew of Korrd (Hence their resemblance) and that he (After a long time of proving himself as a warrior, captain and eventually becoming leader of the High Council) restored his family honor after the disgraceful fall of his uncle_*

Something that did not really sink until much after I watched this episode was Picard was still Kern's captain at the end of this episode. It could also.explain why he was in the Enterprise's sick bay after his injury instead after a Klingon facility. Any that made Picard's line at the end of "don't forget what you see today. Don't let your children forget!" All that much more powerful

There's an amazing essay on morality and honour that uses Worf as it's core example as the difference between extrinsic honour and intrinsic honour. Which basically amounts to 'what people think you' and 'what you think of yourself'. Worf is the king of intrinsic honour.

The episodes with Worf and Klingons I feel are like Data with Humans. Worf who never grew up with Klingons, lives his life as what he believes how a proper Klingon should act. But he will never fit in with actual Klingons, because Worf lives the ideal, not the actual.

[@TheNoiseySpectator]

[@miguelvelez7221]

ELITE LEVEL TNG. A banger, and a Worf/Klingon banger too boot. Best quote from our guys: "Ya'll messed up letting Picard in this, man. He's undefeated." 😂😂😂 What's so good is the twist when Kurn is revealed as Worf's brother. At first you think it's just gonna be about this exchange officer aboard the Enterprise and instead we get thrust into Worf drama and Klingon politics. 9 more bangers to go lads.

[@AT4W]

I don't know if I'd agree with the commenters saying this is one of the best of all Star Trek or even TNG, but it's definitely a good one and I expected you guys would like it. Aside from starting the Klingon arc of TNG, what's clear in hindsight is that this is most likely a continuation of the events of The Defector. That situation only got resolved because of the intervention of the Klingons, aided by the only Klingon in Starfleet and serving aboard the Federation flagship so a high-profile posting. And the Klingons just HAPPEN to capture a Romulan ship that contains information on the Khitomer massacre, tied to said Klingon in Starfleet? And information that could have plunged the Federation's best ally into civil war if exposed? It's a brilliant gambit - you either force the Klingons into civil war OR you harm relations (possibly break them entirely) between the two powers by the attempted execution of Worf, with the only thing at risk exposing a dead former traitor and spy that wouldn't compromise your own intelligence network. Much like the gambit in the Defector, the worst possible outcome is nothing changing about the current status quo, with the best outcomes being MASSIVE gains for the Romulan Empire.

[@Spock4771]

This is the first time they have started to experiment with a continuas storyline in an episodic series won't spoil but this is just the begging of his story

[@Dracounguis]

[@LordKosmos]

I like in this, how the two dimensional Klingons, (oh the honor bound warriors, Picard will save the day and they will abide by the codes they uphold), get more depth by the level of political intrigue, to save their asses. Such a great way to enrich them as a people and make them more interesting as well. I mean, the character of Worf did already give the Klingons more backstories and traditions, but this is just a huge step up in that regard.

[@GandalfTheWise0002]

One of my favorite TNG episodes. The contrast between idealism and political pragmatism was marked. The chief's obvious distaste for the lies but a life of political compromise had jaded him, with Worf's idealism awaking something for a bit. The outcast old woman ultimately having more honor than the council. A brilliant retelling of the "I will do whatever is right no matter the cost" type of story.

[@danielceo4694]

This is a great episode! I love the Worf episodes! Yes, that is the same actor playing K'mPek, he played Gen. Korrd in ST 5 (not the same character, though). And this will not be the last we hear from Duras!

Hats off on this episode, I'm still amazed by how much they fit into a single 40 minute episode, any other series or for that matter any later season of TNG, would have had this as a mid-season or finale 2 parter. While there is certainly enough material to explore to warrant a 2 parter, they managed it all in one, without it feeling rushed.

[@Blazingstoke]

I know it's not officially canon, but there was an amazing video game in the 1990s called _Klingon Academy_ which included the story of a disastrous Klingon civil war a few years after the events of _Star Trek V._ K'mpec was a captain in the Imperial Navy back then, and saw firsthand the destruction and ruin the war brought, which to me informs his resolve here that another war must be prevented even at the cost of knowingly pinning a traitor's crimes onto someone else.

[@Raja1938]

At this point in the franchise, there is no canon name for the Klingon homeworld, thus Picard ordering the ship's heading for "The First City of the Klingon Imperial Empire". In the novels and RPGs on the time, I recall names like Kling or Klinzhai being used but they were never used onscreen.
