The weirdest and worst bit of Star Trek lore?

I'd assume the female Klingons have two vaginas and probably two wombs as well. Maybe the two eggs get fertilised with one serving as a backpack should the first fetus not develop correctly or at all. It might have been an evolutionary response to a very hostile environment that lead to high infant mortality

In regards to klingon males fertilising other species maybe they don't need both wangs to get the job done.

That is actually common in other mammals too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterus#Other_animals
But I would imagine the two Klingon babies fight in the womb and only the winner gets born! XD

There is a guy out there who answered questions and posted pictures of his two dicks, and IIRC he wrote that he usually uses only one of them.

I don't believe that's right, from what I remember. His are side-to-side, and both fully functional. However, due to how they are positioned he's said using both in any way but as if they're one big dick going into a single orifice is logistically difficult.

Okay this has to be up there:

Mysterious older man comes on board, takes unhealthy interest in teenage Wesley Crusher. 6 years later he comes back and they run away together.

:lol:
And he just happened to be in the neighborhood when Wesley needed a metaphysical favor in Remember Me.

My main issue with the revelation Klingon males have two dicks is, what about the females? Do they have two vaginas or one massive vagina that can fit both dicks in simultaneously.

Though I guess whatever the answer is could explain why B'Elanna's father eventually ran away like he did...

It's never actually stated that they're employed simultaneously. Maybe they used them one at a time, with one as a backup, or else alternating.
 
Yeah maybe one is a backup, and kinda...undeveloped? Only good for peeing etc.
And if one gets...uh....damaged....in battle or otherwise, it develops to be fully functioning?

He prefers the right one

In Klingon Academy, the Klingon trefoil symbol represents duty, honor, and loyalty. In Klingon Honor Guard, it represents strength, duty, and sacrifice. I love such details :D

IIRC their excuse was basically TNG canonically said that Klingons had a whole bunch of redundant organs (including a second spine) so they decided "why not two dicks as well...lol!"

It's interesting they appeared (based upon the urine streams at the end of Season 1) to put them up-and-down, rather than side-to-side as is the case in living animals on earth that have two dicks, like snakes. It must mean that someone in the Discovery writer's room has some odd fetishes.

Snakes have two dicks? I didn't even know they had one. As for my Lore thingy I would go with

1 Sarek's Princess ex-wife that never gets brought up.

2 Kirk and Spock have Godlike powers but never use them after Plato's Stepchildren.

I discuss it and provide several possible explanations in post # 67 at: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/st-...and-contradictory.304041/page-4#post-13366149

Kirk and Spock would only have half a season's worth of episodes and then the animated series and six movies, and one or two other movie and TV appearances to use those super powers.

I believe that a typical long lasting episodic television series was probably considere by the creators to be a bunchof different events which the protagoists might possible experience. Thus each episode, except for ones which were sequels to others, was more or less a stand alone story in the views of the creators. In science fiction terms, each episode of a highly episodic series should be considered to happen in a separate alternate universe of its own, except for the few episodes which are sequels to other episodes.

I actually created a thread asking which Star Trek productions are sequels to other productions. In the case of highly episodic series, very few productions are sequels to other productions. There are only about a dozen TOS productions that episodes of TNG, DS9, or VOY are clearly sequels to. And "Plato's Stepchildren" is not one of them.

So anyone who accepts the theory that most Star Trek episodes made before this millennium happen in their own separate alternate universes can simply decide that "Plato's Stepchildren" happens in a separate alternate universe without any sequels. Thus there are no produced episodes or movies where Kirk and Spock know about and ignore their ability to have kironide based superpowers.

For another example, see post # 55.

In my post # 53 I suggest that most TOS and TNG era Star trek episodes were in their own separate alternate universes different from teh alternate universes of other episodes. Thus it is possible that no later episode was a sequel to "The Bonding" and the lack of mention of Jeremy Astor in those episodes is explained by him not being a family member of Worf in those episodes. Possibly his mother was never on the Enterprise, or never killed on the planet, in those episodes.

That episode has far bigger flaws besides that. The whole thing is basically everyone telling a young boy it's wrong to mourn the death of his mother on the day she died.

It's more about not pretending she's still alive, but accepting what happened, crying cause it helps, and letting other people guide you through it
 
The earth history associated with the ‘two parter’, Past Tense is one of my votes for lamest Star Trek lore. The story of Gabriel Bell and this cheap caricature of race and class struggle is weak to say the best.

It’s kind of like a Marxist cartoon and I found it especially amusing that earths history turns on the results of it with the face of The Sisko.
