Worf, stahp.

[Yuri Nikolayev]

Jadzia: And let’s face it… you’re not good with babies.

Worf: I raised Alexander.

Me (LMAO): No, lol… no you didn’t.

Stop saying stupid shit, Worf.

 

[Tosk]

Worf "I raised Alexander. *whispers to himself* ᶠᵒʳ ᵃ ˡⁱᵗᵗˡᵉ ʷʰⁱˡᵉ..."

 

[Dukhat]

This needed its own thread?

 

[BeamMeUp]

Always thought Worfs cabin on Enterprise be quite funny. If you pay attention to the decorations, it looks like it would be a death trap for a child. My guess is the set designers saw anything vaguely pointy or spiky and went ``Yeah that looks dangerous, put it on display!´´.

The children learn young not to play with sharp things.

I'm sure on Qo'noS that is simply called ``early childhood education.´´

 

[Tosk]

I would think that children on Qo'nos are taught to play with sharp things, not avoid them.

 

[korblborp]

discworld's Death would agree

[Oddish]

I expect if Alexander picks up Worf's bat'leth, it's more "that's my boy" than "put that down before you hurt yourself!"

With Alexander one rapidly turns into the other

DS9's Alexander episode was an atrocity, one of its relatively few missteps.

Which one?

 

[Yuri Nikolayev]

Another bit of stupid shit Worf says on DS9… when Tumek asks Worf if he has ever pursued a Klingon woman before, Worf’s dumb ass says no.

…

…

Really? REALLY?

So I guess K'Ehleyr was never a thing, huh? He never asked her to take the oath with him, never mated with her, never literally told her to her face that he would never be complete without her, never produced a child with her, never literally killed Duras to avenge her, specifically telling Duras that K'Ehleyr “was my mate”. Huh. I guess we’re just gonna gloss over all that for the utterly trash Worf-Jadzia relationship that would come.

And I know people are going to say that K'Ehleyr didn’t consider herself fully Klingon, and bound by their traditions. But Worf did.

 

[Tosk]

I chalk it up to it being one of the few times that Worf read the room so instead of arguing semantics, he went along with the point that Tumek was making. Worf had not pursued a woman who truly lived as a Klingon before.

 

[Yuri Nikolayev]

But he really didn’t need to read the room. All he had to do was say yes. Tumek would have just moved forward with the fact that Grilka isn’t interested in him. Tumek’s remark that she couldn’t mate with him even if she wanted to was true - because at that point, Worf was in bad blood with Gowron and still once again dishonored as far as the Klingons in the Empire were concerned. To involve herself with him would dishonor her house. Another thing Worf should have known - especially since he made such a big deal of it to K'Ehleyr, telling her how even Alexander and his children would bear his dishonor.

 

[Oddish]

Which one?

I'll rephrase. DS9's reboot of Alexander was an atrocity, one of its relatively few missteps.

I actually had this question when I was watching the episode last month but eventually got around to rewatching “Reunion”—I’d forgotten how much K’Ehleyr identified with her human half, tried to keep her Klingon side under wraps, and give Alexander the choice of living a human life and somehow managed to keep him fairly insulated from Klingon culture (despite being posted in the Klingon Empire—I guess that Federation Embassy over there really is a city-in-itself, maybe they have the equivalent of a UN school in the First City too). I don’t recall exactly how K’Ehleyr referred to herself but I don’t think she’d necessarily characterize herself as a “Klingon woman,” or just a ”Klingon woman.”

Yeah, K'Ehleyr was very emphatic that she was not JUST Klingon but also half human. Her first appearance also had her emphasizing and bonding with Troi over their hybrid nature, another emphasis that she never viewed herself as just one or the other but both.

So it's easy to say that, while K'Ehleyr was definitely a lot of Klingon, she was also very human - remember, Worf tried to say that, by virtue of their sleeping together the first time, that meant they were engaged, and K'Ehleyr stormed away in refusal of acceptance of that idea. So while Worf could say he courted a woman who was part Klingon, he certainly had never courted a fully Klingon woman, and certainly not a noblewoman like Grilka, considering that she had earned the dispensation to lead her own House.

 

[Tosk]

If I had to sum up her attitide to Klingon stuff I'd just quote this bit...


Worf "We are mated."
K'Ehleyr "Yes, I know. I was there. But..."
Worf "And now we must solemnize our union with the oath."
K'Ehleyr "I'm not going to become your wife!"
Worf "You already are."
K'Ehleyr "Don't give me that Klingon nonsense!"
Worf "You would dishonor our sacred traditions?"
K'Ehleyr "They're not sacred. They're absurd! Marrying you is out of the question for a million reasons."
