Worf being a badass, Part 2

Part 2 of Worf being a badass. I hope you like it!

[@TheLuconic]

I said it before, I'll say it again. Worf is more Klingon than most Klingons. If not all.

[@prodigalson6166]

I think that is because Worf had to fight to learn his heritage where other Klingons could take it for granted. I am mestizo, tell people I'm an Apache Viking. I relate strongly to both Worf and Spock. From my life lessons I can relate; when one is mixed and born away from one's traditions one must be closer to their ancestors then anyone else in order to be accepted. In order to be accepted by the Klingons Worf had to be more Klingon. In order for Spock, being mixed like myself, to be accepted by the Vulcans he had to be more Vulcan than any Vulcan. Yet Spock did not fully understand what meant it to be Vulcan, the ways of Sarek, until he embraced his Terran side. So it has been with me being Native American and Native European descent. I highly recommend the writings of Joseph Campbell. The Power of myth, the hero with a thousand faces, The Masks of God. Smart man

[@U2QuoZepplin]

Worf and the performance of Michael Dorn in that role pretty much defines what it is to be Klingon in modern Trek. (We won't talk about the Star Trek Disco klingons. )

@@tubenachos Gowron wasn't a traitor or a coward. He was a good leader who decided to become a bad one. Being a bad leader is not dishonorable as long as you pay for it with your death in combat. Dying in honorable combat absolves most Klingon sins. And on some level, Worf respected Gowron's prowess with what he was good at, as Gowron respected Worf's honor in accepting discommendation in order to protect the Empire. They just couldn't get along.

[@KanuckStreams]

It should also be noted that Gowron was misled for some time by a Changeling masquerading as General Martok.

[@Anthyrion]

Duras, Duras father and his Sisters were cowards. First, Ja'rod let the Romulans attack the Kithomer Outpost with deactivated shields to bring misscredt upon the House Mogh, then Duras killed the Chancelor of the Empire with poison and when Worfs Mate K'Ehleyr tried to investigate to events of the Khitomer Outpost he wounded her deadly. Then his Daughters needed the Romulans to ensure, that they have enough weapons in the Klingon civil war. And when the odds turned against them, thanks to the Federation, they fled and let their Nephew to the mercy of the Council and Worf. So, yes. Ja'rod was the first traitor and coward and he brought a lot of cowards of a once great house into the empire.

Just take a minute to appreciate how influential Michael Dorn is to not just Trek but science fiction as a whole. I can't think of a person who has defined the archetype for a species in science fiction the way Dorn has for Klingons - he is singularly significant in the fan/public perception of one of (if not) the most famous alien species in all of science fiction. There were people who played Klingons before him and there will be people who play Klingons after him, but the way that they perform, the way they present the characters will (for at least decades) be judged by the yardstick of Dorn's performance in TNG and DS9. Obviously there is a whole creative team around an actor, the make-up, wardrobe, writers, producers, directors etc. but Dorn's performance is what holds it all together.

[@hailhydra749]

I think Martok, Gowron, Kmpec and Duras and their actors were also really awesome, but i agree Michael Dorn has surely left his mark on this part of fiction... just for it to be thrown away by discovery and its klingorcs.

[@chrismc410]

Picard probably had a good idea about what was going to happen and even with his verbal admonition he agreed with Worf. But he also could not condone murder wearing the Starfleet uniform, even if the killing is not considered murder by the standards of Klingon society. He has to give some kind of punishment, so a formal Letter of Reprimand it was. Those in the U.S.Military as either Comisssoned, Warrant or Senior Non-Comissioned officers know a letter of Reprimand is no joke. In theory not as bad as official punishments like Article 15s and any other official UCMJ punishment but in a lot of ways, they can kill your career by passing you up for promotion. If not promoted after X years, Y amount of promotion boards, you can be discharged or if you have enough years or within 18 months of being eligible for retirement then they retire you

Cri George the defiant class was small, yes, however from a cost benefit standpoint it was extraordinarily capable.

This is because all the federation ships before the defiant class were multi-purpose, whereas the defiant class was designed as a pure combat ship to counter the Borg.

[@herald0fmanwe]

I have always wondered why Duras accepted Worf's challenge. Was it because despite his treacherous, scheming nature there were aspects of Klingon honor he did respect (such as the right to avenge a loved one)? Or was it out of fear that his crew would mutiny (and kill him) when they learned that he had murdered an ambassador and then refused Worf's claim of vengeance. I lean towards the former, if only because I would assume that a Klingon of Duras' influence would have a crew of very loyal soldiers.

[@Schismarch]

herald0fmanwe I always thought the latter, but I like your reasoning!

[@giovannysilva7735]

yea, I always thought it was cuz of the mutiny part, but hey, what do I know? :)

[@FEARSWTOR]

Isn't declining a challenge seen as an admission of weakness in Klingon culture? Declining a challenge, especially from a pariah like Worf, would be seen as the ultimate act of cowardice and, even if it didn't get him killed, would have shamed his house.

[@stars9084]

It seemed to me that the death of a mate had a particular place in the Klingon honor code, and Duras was basically obligated at that point to accept the challenge, probably in front of his crew, yes

[@FEARSWTOR]

There was definitely a "well that changes everything" vibe among the crew when he said that. Almost like she could have been involved with Riker and he could have invoked the right of vengeance.

[@aqacefan]

I've thought for a long time that Worf missed a perfect opportunity at the end of "Redemption Part II", when Lursa and B'etor threw Toral under the bus and beamed away. (Worf approaches Toral and looms over him) "Toral... I will say to you what I once said to your father." (Worf snarls and continues) "You... are the son of a traitor!" (Worf backhands Toral)

[@OpenMawProductions]

Toral was in enough deep shit as it was.

[@easygrin1127]

OpenMawProductions lol yes Worf knew what life was going to be for him living without honor

[@danielhaire6677]

That would have been good, but would have exceeded the code of conduct that Worf lved by.

[@SantomPh]

He is really the grandson of a traitor, Duras was scum but he didn't betray the Empire per se.

[@poogie_]

SantomPh - Actually he did. He colluded with the Romulans when a member of his personnel brought that bomb on board K’mpec’s ship. It also led to Lursa and B’etor’s alliance with the Romulans (most notably Commander Sela).

You have to love the Klingons. Picard gets a 3 inch wide serrated Nausican knife shoved through his spine, heart, and out of his chest 30 years before this scene - Beep Boop Star Trek Medical tricorder sounds. Good as new (almost). The crew of the Enterprise gets their damn DNA regressed - Beep Boop. Good as new. Both Duras AND the Klingon High Chancellor, Gowron, get a knife stuck a few inches into ONE OF TWO hearts (or sets of kidneys) DURING a time of war (in Gowron's case) and Klingons are just like, "Oh well. Guess we need a new guy. That one is dead. Out the airlock with the fucker."

Ever hear a little song by ZZ Top: "Under Pressure"?

[@Ladco77]

“So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion;respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,even a stranger, when in a lonely place.Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.” ― Chief Tecumseh

[@nicholashernandez4611]

This. I need a copy of this for my son. I’ve lived most of my life alongside death, the price of living in constant danger and surrounded by those who have grown old, but I could not put to words how I would want my son to see his life. This is it. Thank you.

[@barrywhite8747]

I've always loved Worf and the Klingons. It would be so great if Paramount did a Star Trek show that is only about the Klingons, that maybe takes place somewhere in their past. They reference so many things in Klingon history over the different shows that would be so great to see and maybe have one of the main characters be an ancestor of Worf and center around the House of Mog. If done right I would love that so much.

[@michaelminch5490]

Q - "What must I do to convince you people?" Worf - "Die." That burn is gonna leave a mark.

What none of those Klingons learned is the go against the House of Moog you'll end up dead. Durass, Gowron and even the Martok changling found that out. Martok was smart he kept him close.

[@DantesonofSparda85]

Worf went AWOL to settle a personal vendetta: Duras spread lies about his father and therefore his family name, then sent assassins to kill Worf's wife leaving him to raise Alexander alone...I'd be pretty mad too

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Riker had to do what he could to cease Worf's activities. Else, if he didn't, Riker himself would have faced a much stiffer punishment than Worf for failure to take action. Most likely a court martial, reduction in rank, and possible imprisonment as an example that a commanding officer second in charge must take Starfleet duty seriously.
