Crew you

[MermaidSouth]

After rewatching this month, I kept thinking that as much as I love their characters, I think it would be dangerous to serve with Data and Worf. Picard had to do a strong job of balancing each of their nuances.

Data- Every so often, something went wrong, and Data was not a good little android. I personally would fear the guy. I have this motto, "if your pet can kill you, it should not be your pet." I would apply it here- "If your Data could kill you, he may not make a good friend." I happen to like his positive qualities a great deal but man, he would make me uneasy every time we went near a nebula, or some crystal entities were around.

Worf- His first reaction is always to blow shit up. Thinking first and acting after does not seem to be in his lexicon. He makes me nervous for this reason. All Klingons cannot be like this because they are not shooting up the skies. He is like an underchecked Id.

So, if you beamed me up, I would be leery if these two were on my bridge.

No. Most Klingons aren't...because they actually grew up and/or live among Klingons unlike Worf... Worf doesn't really have a realstic image of what it's like to be an Klingon. All that "Warrior's Cry" is all bull and was confirmed by that Klingon scientist Archer met during the augment arc.

^ Right. THANK YOU for putting into words what always bothered me about the character.

Worf was an idealist - which makes for a good cheerleader but a lousy manager. Even his own wife found his naivete insufferable. Poor Alexander, that kid had it tough with a dead mother and such an aloof father. You'd think Troi might have stepped in but it took her mother to connect with Alexander. Lwaxana was so much more streetwise than Deanna, and even way more emotionally supportive when people needed her.
