This is the "Fate of Kurn" thread
Yes, I realized that right after I wrote that.
There were several inconsistancies between "The Jem Hadar" and later episodes. I am just going to assume the Federation improved all their shields so that the Dominion could no longer beam through them at will, and it somehow didn't rate any on-screen time. It's harder to explain away Eris not recognizing Odo as a Founder at first sight the way all later Vorta and Jem Hadar do.
Oh, Kurn. This thread is about Kurn. They should have put Alexander in this episode too, there should be some sort of reaction there. Perhaps Alexander is horrified at the idea of Worf killing Kurn and Alexander's reaction is what makes Worf stop trying to stab Kurn, rather than Sisko yelling at him.

I don't know if Alexander even knew that he had an uncle, let alone if he had ever met Kurn. It wouldn't surprise me if Worf never told Alexander that Worf had a brother.
It wouldn't be unprecedented that Worf wouldn't be the only major Trek character who didn't reveal that he had a long lost sibling, or long lost foster sibling for that matter.
It was a shame that Alexander, apparently, eventually sold out. Alexander wanted nothing to do with the Klingon warrior lifestyle or culture. It was too bad that he embraced that which he despised when he was younger.
I don't know what became of Alexander after DS9. But it would be tragic if Alexander wound up suffering a similar, or worse, fate as Kurn. Alexander should have gotten as far away from Worf and Worf's worship of the Klingon warrior lifestyle. Worf is bad news. Get away Alexander.

Ezri and Worf mentioned Alexander briefly in "Penumbra" but he didn't appear.
In Once More Unto the Breech, Siege of AR 558 and the episodes that Worf and Ezri were captured by the Dominion, not to mention the conversation about the dying Klingon Empire.
People often change considerably from who they are as older children and who they are as young adults. Perhaps Alexander felt a "calling in his blood" as a three-quarter Klingon.
It's because of all the vodka his foster granddad made him drink.
I would've liked to see Kurn and Alexander hanging out and learning from each other. Kurn always seemed passionate but also impressionable. Alexander and Worf seemed burned out on each other sometimes, and it might have been nice to have the input of a different family member from time to time.
Well, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
I never liked this episode of DS9, the character of Kurn deserved so much better than what he got. To top it off we didn't get a resolution a hopefully better conclusion to the episode.
