REACTION! STAR TREK: TNG, 5x10, Gallifrey Gals Get Warped! S5 Ep10, NEW GROUND

[@daniellanctot6548]

Alexander: “Are you in trouble?” Worf: “Do not concern yourself with that” Alexander: “Am I in trouble?” Worf: “Concern yourself WITH THAT!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@MichaelJShaffer]

I always thought the casting of Worf's adoptive parents was as perfectly done as Spock's parents casting.

[@barkingmonkee]

This comment wins the internet for today! I completely agree and actually like his parents more than I like Worf himself. I always regretted a bit that we didn't get more of them.

[@MichaelJShaffer]

@John Taylor I agree with you about liking his parents more than Worf, wholeheartedly. They were still showing him how to be good parents to his son, whilst being good parents to him. So proud of Worf and their crew interactions were wonderful.

[@Xeck2001]

If your referring to the ensign at the con station, her character name is (or will be) Ensign Felton. She appears in 5 episodes of season 5.

[@patsk8872]

Episodes like this make me want to give Katrina a big hug. Certain narratives hit me really hard also, and I see very well when someone is really feeling and relating to things in their own life.

[@sashmiel6566]

KAt was right on where not only did Worf not know how to be a father, he did not know how to be a Klingon and a Klingon father since he lost his own father around Alexander's age. All he knows about his culture is what he has seen from books and Federation reports and his own foster's parents attempt to help him come to grips. So now he has to try and apply that to a budding Klingon dealing with death, his own emotions, and his own alienation and the fact that he is also half-human.

[@larrycanupp411]

Part of the reason for the Captain's cool-ass jacket has to do with being able to convince the producers of TNG to change the costumes. They had one-pieces starting in season one and they had to be real tight because Mr. Gene Roddenberry hated wrinkles, so he made the costume designers make them one size smaller then the cast's true size to hide as many wrinkles as they could. In fact, Sir Patrick was having back problems from this and got a note for his doctor to have not have him in the one piece. The whole cast was happy and they all got to change theirs to a two-piece.

[@adamcarlson2192]

Little Alexander is SO cute. That "I accept your challenge father." Gets me every time.

[@BrandonBlume]

Troi: "You can't hide from your feelings" **abrupt cut** Riker: "Why can't we go around it?" 🤣

[@georgemckay7795]

Can we talk about how TNG depicted two professional single parent families (Crusher and Worf) in an age when family values was a huge conservative talking point? God I love TNG

[@firefly24601]

Yeeesssss....(?) But they were single parent families due to the (very noble) death of the other parent. Not due to divorce, or the other parent running out on the family, etc. So the conservative "family values" haven't actually been breached.

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

"You need DATA for this!!" ROFL not a full second before you said that, I was thinking "Is sending the first officer really the choice for a rescue op? Data could be...Oh, wait, Cap'n prolly needs his precision at the helm, right now."

[@gluuuuue]

I really dismissed this ep as a teen-I really didn't care about parenting issues (which were big back then), and also thought Alexander's behavior felt like an oversimplification of how kids act out. Maybe just years of being an adult (legally, anyway) shifts one's perspective, as well as seeing it through other people's eyes, but Worf, who's always this big, tough warrior type character having to deal with just being a parent was an interesting challenge for his character, and Troi *was* coming in clutch with the counseling.

[@kschneyer]

Just for the record, I can think of at least two TV shows from the 70s (not 80s) featuring gentle, emotionally honest fathers.

[@Robert-ht7om]

Practically every captain (and guy) refers to their ship/plane/car as "she".

[@jonathanross149]

It's a navel tradition that is slowly dying The Bismarck was one of the few "He" ships.

[@Mokkari77]

I always remember from the old promos Picard saying "Alex-AHN-der can you hear me?"

[@jpwphoenix1701]

I love how they try to convey just how seriously the ship’s shaking by having everyone literally rolling around on the Bridge in that one scene. These days, on shows like Discovery, they’d probably have all kinds of shit blowing up all over the place. Having said that, they really went for it with the pyrotechnics later in the episode. I’m sure Michael Dorn was wondering if he still had eyebrows after that fireball came out the door!😱 🔥 😂

[@fourthdrawerdown6297]

Katrinas f- bombs are what I live for. Also, when I typed in Katrina, autocorrect suggested matrix and Martin.🤔

[@Tantalus010]

I can see why it made those suggestions. On a keyboard, m is near k and x is near a. Replace those two letters and you get 'Matrinx', which is only one letter off. Similar logic can get you Martin.

[@peregrine5327]

I've always founds Worf's fatherhood story fascinating. The typical arc, played out over many seasons, would be for him to slowly become a great father and love and bond with his son. Instead, he... just kind of stays a crappy father. Not in a "bad storytelling" way, though, like he never develops. He tries, he reaches out, he's just... really, really bad at it. And I've always found it incredibly unique that he otherwise depicted as a good man -- honorable, loyal, dependable, honest -- who just happens to be absolutely terrible at fatherhood. It's an interesting message to convey -- that you can still be a good person, even if you aren't a good parent.

[@albertmartinez2539]

Let's nominate Worf for Best Dad! ... ...what? What's with all the looks? ;P

[@TheLacix]

Dad Worf = Dad Kratos

[@Pandaemoni]

19:27 I would have suggested "Ensign Bensen."

[@mconnaghan]

Another quality ground cat video!

[@empirejeff]

Worf has a son.

[@mrlol2238]

Ensign 47. (Sorry for being a jerk in the past, I will try to be better, not fair to y’all).

[@shadowphoenix1696]

The Enterprise D really is a glass cannon, but then again so are most of Starfleet ships (at least in this century) Design to dish it out but without shields can't take much and the shields are generally mid.

[@Ctrlr1981]

Imagining Worf with a dad-bod

[@RyanRichardsToby]

Does Katrina have makeup of tattoos around her eyes?

[@tomaslongoria2449]

They both, Worf and Alexander end up on DS9 together…

[@mconnaghan]

Date of birth? * long awkward pause * Oh, excuse me. I'm just... getting a text here... let me just... uh...

[@chrissonofpear1384]

Yeah, and at 3:28, apparently we're told Alexander is not even THREE years old, here. That's a bit much to believe, I guess. Not impossible, with some alien biologies, but seems unlikely.

[@michellepeters7066]

I wish I could watch Your videos with my little brother, but Katrinas F-bombs....🤫

[@jonjohns8145]

@Lauren Lewis Not a good argument. Just because you hear/see people do something, does not mean it is acceptable for you to do it. I tell my nephew that all the time.

[@defiante1]

@@jonjohns8145 Yeah you tell your fucking nephew, cussing is fucking bullshit.

[@jonjohns8145]

@Lauren Lewis I'm sure it is hilarious. But profanity is sign of a weak mind that is too lazy to come up with better conversation. And no one who is not an adult should be using it. Even adults should use it sparingly. And good luck with your pole dancing gig.

Ships are always referred to with female pronouns. Naval ships, space ships, any kind of ships.
