Worf in Insurrection

[CoveTom]

I don't know what real life military and diplomatic protocol is today, and I certainly do not know what it will be in the late 24th century.

But, given that the line about Worf giving up his ambassadorship was cut from Nemesis, is there any reason he couldn't still be an ambassador who just chose to wear his Starfleet uniform when he attended the wedding of his long-time friends and fellow officers? Don't retired military personnel today still have the right to wear their uniforms for formal occasions?

 

[DestinyCaptain]

That's what I want to know.

Except that we actually see him serving onboard the Enterprise after the wedding.

"Serving"? He attends the landing party - which indeed is a party in the other meaning of the word, as freely admitted by Picard himself. It's a pleasure ride for the Captain, and it's by no means impossible that Worf was there also for the pleasure, as an honored guest rather than as a hard-working E-E crew member.

Beyond that, Worf "serves" only after the original crew of the ship suffers casualties.

Truth be told, I've only managed to sit through the movie once, so you may be right.

Since Picard was able to get a civilian kid to be Acting Ensign, he could have turned an Ambassador Worf with his years of experience into Acting Chief of Security easily at any time.

Worf is goof in this movie.

Or he could have just reinstated him with his full rank like he did in "Redemption, Part II."

Worf: (Steps onboard Enterprise, throws off ambassador robes) Permission to return to duty, sir.

Picard: Permission granted -- but this is the last time, Mr. Worf. No more resigning. Three strikes and you're out.
