Star Trek: The Next Generation 5x01 Redemption, Part 2

I just really like Worf, and the way he negotiates being Klingon but also being part of the Federation, and the idea of honor (its demands remind me of renaissance and baroque Spain), and the presentation of a society based upon conflict that is so different from my own.

Not to say that I don’t enjoy what we might consider more contemplative episodes (like Darmok), but there’s something about the Klingons (and Vulcans, particularly in Enterprise) that speaks to me.

Cool. Thanks for sharing your insights. Worf indeed has consistently been an interest character …and Micheal Dorn’s portrayal is awesome.

[li]First off, Klingon Civil War means Klingons kill other Klingons. Kirk is fine with this.
[/li][li]Then, he’d say something confusing to Data, make his neck shoot sparks, and then he’d explode.
[/li][li]And finally, Kirk and Sela would… uh… “come a mutual agreement”. :rolleyes:

In many ways, he defined Klingons in the same way that Nimoy defined Vulcans.

I loved this episode, but one thing I never understood was the need for Picard to spread out his command staff all across the fleet. Don’t these twenty starships that he collected for his task force already have assigned captains and command staff? I know the task force was thrown together on relatively short notice, but geez.

Obviously, the rest of the Federation is incompetent. Only the crew of the Enterprise can be trusted with the task of just sitting in one spot and emitting tachyons. :rolleyes:
