_Moments later_ . . . *[Troi]:* "Alexander, let me see what you have." *[Alexander]:* "A knife!!" *[Troi]:* "NOOO!!!"

[@slashingraven]

[Alexander]: *takes off running with Troi in pursuit*

[@slomnim]

*troi takes off running with alexander in pursuit*

[@spamuraigranatabru1149]

Someone sees the act and calls for security: "Someone to worf- I mean... Doh!"

[@samslara]

Alexander running down the Enterprise halls with a knife, they should have kept that scene in

[@aggressiveattitudeera887]

Chills when Riker brought up Tasha Yar and Marla Astor.

[@seankean4101]

Yeah I remember what riker said to worf

[@engasal]

Really? Chills? That chilled you? A full-body shiver? Really?

[@rhylin26]

This episode gets a lot of crap for its premise, but all the actors are on their A game!

[@Michael-io3dd]

Most of the critiques I see are about the scene where he's injured and how the barrel is obviously pretty light.

[@richtea615]

Riker not standing for the Canadian healthcare system.

[@Dandosa1]

XD

[@epicstyle1000]

Alpha Strike fired at an acceptable target, what worse is the healthcare trying to force patients into this choice

[@Barbutt]

I commented that about Picard previously, “Move said O Canada, POS!”

[@stormthrush37]

This was such a great scene. Riker's passionate speech and careful nuance, Worf's decision to break with tradition. Hard choices carefully thought through and acted upon.

[@StrangeChickandPuppo]

Riker looking over the Klingon law and traditions, like when Picard was reading the Sheliak terms and finding the clause he needed

[@SamuelBlack84]

Nobody can understand suicide until they've faced terrible circumstances When living is unbearable and only your death can nullify it Living Vs. Quality of life I'd much rather be dead than forced to remain alive, suffering terribly and be robbed of my dignity

[@venerablebrothergoriate5844]

Alexander's smile hit me right in the feels.

[@evm6177]

I know right.

[@MichaelTheRead]

Before Kratos and Atreus... ...there was Worf and Alexander. The original Father of Boi.

[@evm6177]

😎 Totally! 👍

[@caterinadc5567]

Searching for the words to properly express how thoroughly behind Riker's words here I am. (And apparently it's turned me into Yoda.) And the fact that Worf actually turns around from it, and chooses to pursue life -- wow. This... is a good scene.

[@ryanbaker979]

So many good conversations in this episode!

[@Dowlphin]

No warrior has faced the greatest test of courage unless he has abandoned the comforting authority of societal norms.

[@Someonehahaha]

And that of Beans, lot's of beans!

[@SexyDragoness]

Somebody teach that poor child to not walk with blade out. Shins everywhere wince in anticipation

[@Inthatgoodway]

Happy Christmas

[@DruuzilTechGames]

Beans, lot's of beans!

[@Kagranth]

Good to see you upload again, merry beanmas.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

I'd forgotten how Riker got out of helping Worf perform the ritual (also seen attempted in "Night Terrors"). Sure, it's a bit contrived, but given what we've seen about Klingon culture thus far, it tracks very well.

[@_Tree]

Riker and Worf are my 2 favorite characters on the show!! I love their chemistry and friendship!!

[@darkarima]

Just wondering, how many other people did they fool into thinking he was going to ask Alexander (and trigger the only justifiable tantrum out of the many Alexander threw)?

[@eddieschwab864]

Safety violation Alexander carrying the dagger out of their quarters by the handle. He could kill himself accidentally if he trips and falls. And Klingon or not that would not be an honorable death.

[@trinajackson5817]

i came her to make this comment. let's teach some knife safety on the enterprise, huh? the "days without an accident" sign could go down to zero real quick.

[@Storytime4now6767]

Technically he is obeying his fathers orders so h e honouring his father so maybe he would enter stovocor

[@jasonbean2764]

Ka frikin plaha!:)

[@hollywheeler2925]

This is a great episode thanks guys ‼️‼️‼️

[@alanbeardsley8346]

And Riker decides to leave the knife at Worf's feet where he could probably get it. Smart move

[@GamingGuy84]

Riker knew Worf wouldn’t be able to reach it. Worf would need to sit up to get within grabbing distance of the knife, but he couldn’t.

[@alextirrellRI]

@@GamingGuy84 He presumably did though. He gave it to Alexander.

[@Dowlphin]

Oh, so Alexander is NOT family? Is that what you are saying, Worf? ... Furthermore, you are trying to say he is not your blood because he is QUARTER human? 4:22 Look at the klingon face of respect from Alexander there. - The irony of children's wisdom, heh. If they had unleashed their superweapon* on Worf, the script would have suffered an early but glorious end. ... *) Of course I am speaking of Guinan.

[@chrismc410]

Worf knew Alexander couldn't and wouldn't do it. In his view the one failing K'Ehleyr had in raising him and his not knowing about him for 3+ years. A lot of Alexander's views on Klingon culture would be very different had Worf knew of him and raised him from the beginning. If Worf was really determined to carry out the Hegh'bat he had an option that Dr. Crusher couldn't stop even knowing why: He could have asked for a Comm Unit, hail Qo'nos and get in contact with his brother, Kurn. Kurn would know his nephew's feelings on Klingon tradition and his late sister-in-law's disdain she instilled in him on that point. He would remember his disdain for Riker and remind him yet again the Enterprise is not a Klingon ship and would threaten to kill him again. He'd rendezvous with the Enterprise, Crusher would, despite her feeling suicide is not an option, release Worf to Kurn's custody as not doing so would be a Prime Directive issue, probably take Alexander too as his closest blood relative and it would be done the moment he beamed back on his ship or shortly after arrival on Qo'nos

[@Hektorofthegoldhelm]

It's weird that they bring up Marla Aster but no one mentions her son, Jeremy, who Worf adopted into his House and made him his brother. Actually, no one mentions Jeremy *ever*.

[@jdunn813]

I like the recut of this episode. Worf: "I have decided to break with tradition. I have decided to live." Riker: "A Klingon does not put his desires above those of his family or his friends!" -proceeds to stab Worf- kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYTPiYKYid98e5o

[@VastIceGaming]

Wonder why Worf would not have suggested they get in contact with Kurn to perform the ritual.

[@danielblair4413]

Because Kurn had to pretend to not be Worf's brother due to Worf's discommendation from the Klingon empire.

[@BlastoiseBaller]

Don't Klingons have two hearts? Gonna take a double tap with the knife right?

[@chrismc410]

One heart, eight chambers compared to a human's four chambered heart

[@coffeeaddictexpress5038]

😂😂😂😂😂 lol that’s great though!

[@chuchulainn9275]

Acceptance vs approval.

[@arbknight12]

4:41 I’m getting major Kratos/Atreus vibes

[@krishnajain4391]

I really dislike the framing of suicide as selfish here. I would venture to say that most people who have considered suicide have thought about the people they will leave behind. It seems more selfish to me to ask someone to live in agony because they're not willing to bear the pain of their death.

[@john-paulgies4313]

The Hegh'bat is morally reprehensible. Well done Riker for making it (slightly) more obvious.

[@chrismc410]

Not if you're a Klingon. As Picard pointed out, there are injuries and diseases that humans can suffer and suffer they will the remaining few days or even years of their lives in agonizing pain that death can be seen as a release from that pain.

[@alanstringer.]

This, (being a human show) just drips with all kinds of human sentimentality. If this were "Star War" (the Klingon version of "Star Trek") he would have committed seppuku and the rest of the show would have gone on as usual.

[@chrisbullard5901]

Not even human sentimentality, but 20th Century post-war American sentimentality. This thought process isn’t as widely held as viewers would like to believe.
