Generations.....Worf's Bloody Knees

[Mr. B]

I've seen this movie a bunch of times and I don't recall ever noticing that... had to look at it again to see.

They were on the holodeck, remember? How the hell could it be wet paint?

in that case, how could it be blood?

It was Worf's promotion. He had them deactivate the safeties so he actually stood a chance of breaking his neck (again) on the plank while going though a silly hazing ceremony.

^ lol!

I remember someone asked about this in the Old Magazine "Star Trek: Communicator" basically saying that it was due to the fresh paint job, but if people wanted a non behind the scenes explanation, they could always assume he was attacked by sharks.

Riker: Computer, release sharks, authorization Riker Alpha Three.
Computer: Unable to comply. Holographic sharks are considered an endangered species.
Riker: Well what do we have then?
Computer: Sea bass.
Riker: Riiiiiiiiight...

La Forge: Commander, I think there's a malfunction in the holodeck. Those Sea Bass are mutated.
Data: Indeed. Based on how they are attacking Commander Worf's knees, they would appear to be ill-tempered.

The boat on which it was filmed had wet paint. You aren't supposed to notice that it got on the actor's pants. The paint wasn't on Worf's knees; it was on Michael Dorn's knees.

Actually, more like Michael Dorn's stunt double's knees, in that case. :-)

In universe, Riker knew precisely what he was doing. It was revenge...
