Yeah. Too bad that's not how it happened in our creation myths. Now we're stuck with evangelical nutcases trying to take over our country and turn it into a dystopian nightmare out of the Hand Maids Tale.
I believe the way Worf worded it was like, "Ancient Klingons were said to have killed their gods-- they were more trouble than they were worth." which is hilarious and sensible, considering how Greek gods in our history are depicted as giant A-holes.
I love that scene with Martok. Making Worf the ambassador was his revenge for Worf making him Chancellor. "...But sometimes fate plays cruel tricks on us Worf".
In all honesty it’s probably the only job Worf would have been allowed to take I’m surprised he made it to the rank of Commander sense his loyalty is vary clearly divided between starfleet/the federation and the Klingons
It's just too bad that Hollywood eventually rejected Dorn's proposal for a new Star Trek series with Worf as the captain. For a while, there was considerable interest in his idea. But, obviously, they ended up rejecting it. Now CBS has a *_progressive_* STD.
Michael Dorn is also such a mellow and nice guy irl, and this actually adds to the experience. You are not watching Dorn play Worf, there is nothing of Dorn in this character, there is only Worf. It's incredible how he really brought the character to life after TNG found its pace and he was given something to work with.
Am I the only one who felt bad for the guy Worf replaced (the yellowshirt walking behind them just as Riker makes that comment)? He's gotta be thinking, "what the hell? I didn't destroy that giant ass Borg cube fast enough or something?"
@@devildavin There would still have been a tactical officer replaced though. Probably a very competent one, to have got a gig on the flagship's bridge. But as soon as the captain's old buddy shows up it's "go polish the phaser rifles, kid".
Y’know, I’ve always wondered why Starfleet doesn’t install seatbelts. Officers always seem to be flying around once the ship gets hit, and flying into space once a hole is blown open on the bridge...
@@reason4being well, at least when a huge hole is ripped out of the bridge (or wherever else on the ship), you won’t go hurtling into space when they may or may not recover your body…
Thinking back now, I believe Worf probably had the most charcter developement of all the TNG cast, (debatable, I know). Going through the entire series, & movies, & DS9, he was fleshed out pretty completely.
Very true. Especially since Mike was involved in those shows. Geordi and Miles both had more to do. But as having their characters grow and develop, Worf is Top Gun material 😎
When Worf uttered that line,to me, it seemed that he had let go of his severe dislike of The Romulans, considering that The Romulans were responsible for the attack on the Khitomer Outpost which killed his biological parents and which was found in the rubble of
Deep down, I think Worfs loyalties were always with Jean Luc Picard and the USS Enterprise. Until Captain Sisko talked him out of it, Worf was going to leave Starfleet altogether. And he's always there for Captain Picard and crew when needed. And Captain Sisko realized and accepted that.
I think the relationship is best summed up by the scene in first contact when Picard calls him a coward and he said if you were any other man I would kill you where you stand
yragcom1 I don't think the Picard series would care to have Picard visit Riker's home again and have him spot the chair in his living room. "I went back in to get it; Beamed right out with her" Picard: "I see. You most certainly have caught up to your debt in sitting in it"
Well he is a klingon raise on earth. If you want to think about being a minority in your country.... imagine being a Klingon on earth. And im black in america lol. Though Worf had a earth values.... he took being a klingon very serious. Even more then most klingons. For the fact that he obviously knew he was very different on earth. Being less then a percentage of klingons of earth decent. Worf was very out of touch with being a klingon. Though he had a heart like humanity and federation, he often took being a klingon very seriously for the fact that he was not raised a Klingon the closest species he can every identify with.
Pause that scene and look around at the amount of time and effort that went into a shot that mustve taken days to create (makeup, actors, studio, props) amazing...
when all hope is lost and ramming speed is the only action left the thing you need to hear most is " THERES ANOTHER SHIP COMING IN, ITS THE ENTERPRISE"
@@EarlJohn61 because they are losing a battle pretty badly and next thing you know a prominent, no, a hero ship shows up and asks you to help them win. Are you gonna be the one to say no I'm good?😊
Agreed, it was the first star trek movie I saw in theaters. My Dad took me to a late night screening when I was 7, and it has stuck with me ever since. One the greatest scenes especially with Data watching the viewer saying, "Oohh, Shit!" Best movie in the Star Trek series in my opinion.
swish007 Trek has always had cutting edge effects. I watched the blu ray original film recently and with the touch ups the film easily looks like 89 instead of 79
Worf wore red in the first season of TNG. He must have been relieved when he changed to green. :D Come to tink of it, O'Brien must have seen Worf in red before...
In TOS, Security and Engineering wore red. Security officers died regularly, thus the term "redshirt". In TNG, Security (and Tasha Yar) wore gold shirts but the term has stuck anyway. :D
Miles and Worf should've hung out more. I'd watch a whole episode of them just getting drunk and playing darts and sharing war stories. Have a fight, laugh. Cool Klingon/Irish stuff.
anjetto1 that would have been a fantastic one off episode. Just great script writing having two guys go for a bender. No wider storyline and Miles could find himself waking up on a transport ship wasted with bottles of Guinness around him. Could of been a great chance to get some good comedy moments in.
malikail57 It was because Worf thought Jadzia wasn’t getting to Stovokor. He destroyed the Dominion Monac shipyards for her. DS9: Image in the Sand and Shadows and Symbols
malikail57 I just watched that episode about two months ago. I’ve rewatched DS, VOY and ENT a few times. There are so many episodes I forget the details, almost like they are new to me 🙂
TNG Worf was the teenager/20s learning his way around the battlefield. DS9 Worf was the seasoned warrior promoted to command and leading troops into battle.
Worf: "They have found a way to penetrate our shields!" Riker: "Change shields' modulation! And fire phasers on their weapons!" Worf: *Does it* End of history, the Enterprise prevails once again!
@Zelda Morningstar It was actually the magnetic interlocks that were off line, but I agree---it was extremely irritating that the Galaxy warp core ejection system never worked when it was needed.
Given that the Phoenix was able to defeat a (presumably Galor class from the 600 crew complement) cardassian cruiser while its own shields were down, the Enterprise should have been able to take that small bird of prey, shields or not.
I remember when I was a kid I was SO EXCITED when Worf showed up on Deep Space Nine. Such an awesome moment! I still get a smile out of it. He was a perfect addition to the show.
Man I remember how big of a deal All Good Things was. Tickets were sold out to a sporting venue with a big jumbotron screen with thousands in attendance. Many showed up in Starfleet uniforms, cosplayed as Klingons and Borg, it was a spectacle that signalled an end of an era. DS9 was good, we got to see the griddy, non-idealist Starfleet that would have been too edgy for TNG. Then they tried to bring the whole exploration theme back with Voyager but missed the mark with bad screen writing. Then jumped on the prequel bandwagon with Enterprise that was OK at best. I wish Paramount or whoever has the rights now, would do a continuation of the Trekverse. Like a shattered Alpha quadrant recovering from the Dominion Wars that you got to see a little glimpse of in Insurrection. A fractured Federation, a weakened Klingon Empire, a broken Cardassian Union, sudden aggressive Romulan Empire, and the teeder tauder balance of power amongst the major players.
headlesschicken6661 agreed, voyager missed the mark. Enterprise had its moments, but was mostly mediocre. I wish the would go back to a post ds9 setting too, there are a lot of great stories they could tell in that setting.
Enterprise got good at the end (terrible finale though) and Voyageur was saved by 7 and her hot body and solid story arc. You're right though, DS9 and later TNG were the golden era of Star Trek. I grew up on the original reruns in the early 80's too. I loved Wrath of Kahn, the 1st film and Star Trek IV and VI. Nothing tops the DS9 period though, that Dominon War was incredible. The only shows that equals that Sci-Fi quality are Babylon 5 and the three Stargate series. I fucking loved Commander Thor...ahem..."Supreme Commander Thor"!
GtheMVP Oh definitely...and i agree, the last season of Enterprise was pretty good. Of Course i love stargate above all, but ds9 will always be a very close second.
No matter how many years pass I still love Michael Dorn's one liners as Worf my favorites are Frist Contact's "Assimilate This" & Insurrection when the Son'a question Worf about Riker's willingness to crash the Enterprise E into their ship and asks he wouldn't Worf's "Yes he would" never fails to put a smile on my face or make me chuckle 😁
I've seen Spock die... when the movie was first in cinemas. And then I saw the Enterprise 1701 self-destruct the next movie ("Bones, what have I done..."... that pain...I felt it.
I love how DS9 really redeemed Worf’s mistreatment in TNG. They made a habit of making him look like a bitch, but DS9 gave him room to grow and prove how awesome he is.
@@argiebarge7955 Yeah I don't get it either. Worf was a valued member of TNG. The characters treated him well and there were many times when got to shine.
On Picard's Enterprise, he's a fish out of water. Philosophically contrasts to Picard and the rest of the crew. On Sisko's Deep Space 9, he's in his element.
Nah, the Worf is a bitch is things taken out of context. Worf is this mighty badass. A great warrior and TNG was literally inventing the universe. Yes TOS laid the foundation of what Star Trek was, but TNG built the universe with so many ideas. When TNG introduced a new threat, you want to demonstrate what power it has, so you had it push Counselor Deanna Troi down a flight of stairs. No you didn't. You had it throw Worf around like a rag doll. That way the audience think, "Fuck, if it can do that to Worf, the rest of the crew is screwed." After doing 178 episodes over 7 years, they tend to reuse the same tropes over and over. Splice them all together in a CZcams video and it's easy to think Worf always gets his ass kicked. It's no different than the "It's been a few years since I've studied at the academy, what does that mean?" There is always one ignorant character that is asking WTF is going on just so they can techno babble some information to the audience. The difference is they can always use a different character to be ignorant of something while Worf is the symbol of strength so it's always him. By the time Worf joins DS9, the universe and characters are established by 7 years of TNG and several by DS9 where Worf's character is no longer needed to show how scary some enemy is because we have already met them. Of course not everyone who is watching DS9 watched TNG so they need to reintroduce Worf to the audience and one of the first things he does is kick the ass of some Klingon while the crew comment on how awesome Worf is, which he always was.
@@robertaviles8451 Well, that's what inertial dampeners were for, but the Enterprise was not really a combat vessel, it was just armed for protection. The Federation don't really made much full on battlecruisers like the Defiant often.
@@Rogue_Arrow the one time it was needed. Little known fact was that the intrepid class ships have a secondary warp core though it was only capable of warp 7 as opposed to warp 9.975
1:14 For years Humans were enamored with the idea of flying saucers, so when we finally master space travel, what do we do? We build our own. Cause anything E.T. can do, we can do better?
Gene Roddenberry was determined not to build Flash Gordon type rocket ships so he designed the Enterprise the way it is now. Saucers are very efficient designs.
Thanks for this. Could never figure out where the two shows intersected on the timeline, even though the TNG movies apparently don't really care about Worf's place in DS9.
Part of what I wanted to see was that random cut from Worf accepting Ambassadorship on DS9 to his sudden presence on the Enterprise. (Of course, the novels explain his transition, but the on-screen canon is jarring.... oh, and that voice change lol)
Victor Kong Try being time delayed waiting for the TV episodes/VHS of new episodes while the cinema is quicker releasing the movies, PRE - INTERNET. It was very confusing.
Dumb people get confuse easily. Generations happens in season 2 and 3 of ds9. First contact happens between season 4 and 5. First contact worf is commanding the defiant. There wasnt any mention of dominion war yet in the movie. Insurrection happens after ds9 Nemesis happens after voyager return
The LCARS user interface is heavily encoded with number codes, but information regarding the safety of the ship - like the shield modulation frequency - is shown on a BIG FUCKING SCREEN in plain text. -.-
They kidnapped Geordi, hijacked his visor's signal to transmit everything that Geordi sees when sent back to the Enterprise. Then the Klingons recorded whatever Geordi sees which includes the shield modulation frequency.
@eXcommunicate1979 I'm sure they would have on the show without a doubt. My gripe was why, after fighting the Borg at least 3 times, were they not rotating their shield modulations as a standard procedure? Or, why did no one think of doing so during the fight? Then there's the whole thing about a Galaxy Class outgunning a B'rel type Bird of Prey 100 to 1... Ugh..
Indeed, the computer would randomly rotate the shield frequencies on its own without a doubt. You don't need an officer manually rotating the modulation as on the show [lol], the computer would do it. And in the future, surely the computer would be capable of fuzzy logic, so the rotation would truly be random. My only guess would be that adding such a feature would wear out the shield generators and would only be employed in an actual combat situation, or at least activated upon Red Alert status. That, or not possible with this model of shield generator and the loss of the Enterprise was the kick in the pants to push Starfleet to fit new generators on each starship in the fleet during their next scheduled refit.
@Shufei The production company wanted another enterprise because they thought settings build for the TV-Show wouldn't fit for movies. But how the did it was hilarious. Absolute dumb plot. Much better: Destruction of the original Enterprise in Star Trek IV.
@@vornamenachname5589 Afaik it was about the studio model itself and the design of the Galaxy as a whole. The interior sets where probably fine. I mean they updated the set for the movie. TNG used three models of the Enterprise D. Originally they build a 6 feet model and 2 foot model. It was already known that the 6 feet model would be difficult to work with due to limited mounting options and weight. That is why the made a 2 foot model for wide angle shoots etc. During filming of season 1 and 2 they decided to make a 4 foot model. I think it was then that the 6 feet model was retired as it was too difficult to work with and from there on it only appears in stock footage any more. The 4 foot model became the standard, it was also the 4 foot model which was modified for the "all good thing" Enterprise. You can actually spot the difference rather easily: The 2 foot model is only used in wide angle shoots and it stands out as the nav lights are too big for its size. The 4 foot model has a thinner secondary hull, thicker saucer and more pronounced panelling making it a bit rugged and bulky. The 6 feet model is has the sleekest saucer but a bit more round shaped secondary hull and the surface is rather smooth. For Generations the studio refurbished the 6 feet model as the 2 feet model would look horrible on theatre screens and I think they lost the 4 foot model at the time… But it was already clear that mounting and weight was an issue again. The studio also wanted a newer more action oriented design. It was clear early on that they would destroy the D to make way for the E which would solve all the problems the D model had. The model of the E had all new mounting options and new design to make for better action sequences. It was however only used in First Contact and then gave way to complete CGI in Insurrection so kinda pointless but that is also why the E in First Contact looks so good… because it is a physical model.
you cut it off before the greatest moment in all of startrek when the pimped out Enterprise D decloaks and WTFpwns the klingons with the lance of death
Holy shit they played the original Klingon theme when word came in to the bridge of the Enterprise E in first contact. How have I never noticed that before?
I liked that a lot. But his intro in Insurrection was just lame. Worf; Captain Picard; Mr. Worf...what the he'll are you doing here? Me; my thoughts exactly! It's like "hey I was in the neighborhood after my wife was killed so I thought I'd shoot the shit with you guys cuz I know shits always goes down around that bald basterd"..."well how convenient, we're gonna go rogue where my earl grey tea comes super hot"
@headlesschicken6661 It's even worse because he's explaining to Picard why he's there, and the film cuts to another conversation so we don't hear what the explanation is.
Can you imagine studying for years at the academy and making all the right career moves to end up as chief tactical officer of the Enterprise-E. And then every time the captain's old friend gets his ship blown up or feels like visiting you get kicked off your station and excluded from all the senior briefings?
Totally. Romulan women don't have much to work with when it comes to the hair...but she pulled it off...but why do women all seem to have the exact same damn haircut?
People asking why they don't have seat belts. The inertial dampeners replace them. Just imagine wearing a seat belt when the ship suddenly breaks from 10000000x10^10 miles per hour! xD
I always got the impression that inertial dampeners cancelled out the effects of high changes in velocity that were constant and smooth, but smaller and unpredictable changes in motion, like an explosion or a crash, could not be compensated for and that's why it was always so violent. So, seatbelts may help in those situations.
It’s almost as if people are thinking the crew need a variety of safety systems for dealing with a variety of situations, like inertial dampers for the expected and planned massive accelerations associated with FTL travel, and seatbelts for smaller, unexpected accelerations of weapons impacts and crashing. But no, let’s just go with one system.
Yeah but considering the IDs still dont stop every jolt and judder of the ship as it's beaten by weapons fire, it would still be nice to have them as a secondary option.
For seven seasons the Enterprise D carried it's crew safely into space so far away we cannot fathom the distances involved. Can't survive a motion picture though...

When I went to the Q&A session with Marina Sirtis (Troi) she her self pointed out it was the first time she had "driven" the Enterprise. She commented on how Will and Worf were teasing her on Set, saying thats what happens when you let a woman drive lol.
but he is worf. son of mogh, and he doesnt have any desk.. His desk is made with Mahogany. And not just any Mahogany, but mahogany from Grethor where the trees are 300 ft tall and breathe fire. From these trees his desk was forged 2000 years ago using ancient blood rituals of the Souls of the dishonored people.
"you know I always thought i'd get a shot at this ship one day" "perhaps you still will, she's certainly shit enough for you now" (riker starts crying)
The enterprise receives a lot of damage and even gets destroyed due to the fact that technology is not without flaws, unlike the millennium falcon that was built by magic elves using pixy dust.
I mean the Millennium Falcon got into like 2 fair fights during it's entire life span though. Most of the time Han Solo is running away from danger not towards it. The Enterprise has gotten into many many many fights and came through most of them with barely a scratch. Except for the couple of times the plot demands something happens to it. Edit: Look I love both Star Wars and Star Trek, but come on. Most of the Federation tech in Star Trek is portrayed as magical all-purpose, built-to-last, completely efficient technology. It's almost always working exactly as intended and is easily repairable. Except those episodes when it's suddenly not. It's completely unrealistic. There's no corporation or military or government that wouldn't cut corners somewhere. Especially when we're talking about warships. The Millenium Falcon on the other hand is a heavily moddified transport ship. It's constantly breaking and needing repairs. Even in the movies it will stall or almost fall apart in some areas. And it can't do everything great. It can just go fast. It's not taking on Star Destroyers by itself, unlike the Enterprise which can for some reason take on warships of a higher class in a frontal assault.
@@DeltaFidelias It's not brought up much in TNG but starfleet ships are just crawling with maintenance crews. There are always mooks crawling around in the pipes of the ship making tweek and adjustments. Hell, one of the tropes of the series is having the engine room full staffed during combat scenarios with the bridge having to communicate back and forth with them to make adjustments. Not to mention the propensity all electronics have in startrek to just fucking explode during starship battles. I think it's brought up more in DS9 and Voyager where the chief engineers have more of mechanical background rather than a scientific one. Chief O'Brian is locked in constant battle to keep the starfleet tech working in a Cardassian station and B'Elanna is frequently dirty and on edge about keeping voyager afloat. It's not directly ship stuff but I recently watched a DS9 episode where a Bajoran is talking aobut phaser and how while the starfleet phase has shitloads of options the maintenance makes it more trouble than it's worth for a regular soldier and that a cardassian rifle is much more useful. It's mentioned from time to time in starterk but the advantage of starfleet isn't their technology, it's their engineers. The tech does break and malfunction but the guy repairing it his a ludicrously well trained techno-wizard. It's still a type of handwaving bullshit, but it's handwaving bullshit powered by the human spirit. That's the thing about the Federation, it's not really about technological superiority, it's about human superiority. Their philosophy is built on cooperation and a pursuit of personal excellence. Against superior foes the Entireprise doesn't win because of raw firepower. They win with psychological games, or by figuring out how to exploit the enemy's weakness or by using some kind of nearby anomaly to get an advantage.

Deep down, I think Worfs loyalties were always with Jean Luc Picard and the USS Enterprise. Until Captain Sisko talked him out of it, Worf was going to leave Starfleet altogether. And he's always there for Captain Picard and crew when needed. And Captain Sisko realized and accepted that.
He was in fact intimidated by sisko
Actually, I'd say Picard was more like a 3rd father to Worf, he already had Sergei Roschenko
I think the relationship is best summed up by the scene in first contact when Picard calls him a coward and he said if you were any other man I would kill you where you stand

yragcom1 I don't think the Picard series would care to have Picard visit Riker's home again and have him spot the chair in his living room. "I went back in to get it; Beamed right out with her" Picard: "I see. You most certainly have caught up to your debt in sitting in it"
Haha
Picard "It is your destiny Will...taking my seconds..."
Was metaphorically talking about the command of the Enterprise D.
@@markschmitz5038 Hardly "seconds", Enterprise D was then useless scrap.
he was not a merry man
neither a merry Klingon
He did get married then a few episodes later was a merry single Klingon again.
The Klingon doth protest too much, methinks.
Well he is a klingon raise on earth. If you want to think about being a minority in your country.... imagine being a Klingon on earth. And im black in america lol. Though Worf had a earth values.... he took being a klingon very serious. Even more then most klingons. For the fact that he obviously knew he was very different on earth. Being less then a percentage of klingons of earth decent. Worf was very out of touch with being a klingon. Though he had a heart like humanity and federation, he often took being a klingon very seriously for the fact that he was not raised a Klingon the closest species he can every identify with.
@@anthonygordon9483 actually, Worf was raised on a Federation farming colony named Galt by his adoptive parents Sergei and Helena Roschenko
-He wouldn't!
-Yes. He would.

Agreed, it was the first star trek movie I saw in theaters. My Dad took me to a late night screening when I was 7, and it has stuck with me ever since. One the greatest scenes especially with Data watching the viewer saying, "Oohh, Shit!" Best movie in the Star Trek series in my opinion.
swish007 Trek has always had cutting edge effects. I watched the blu ray original film recently and with the touch ups the film easily looks like 89 instead of 79
Brandon Sparks well that’s just insane. First Contact is better than Generations.
It does yes! way better than the rubbish CGI overload we get today! this was pure model making SFX craft!
"You look good in red." Last thing anyone on Star Trek wants to hear.
Worf wore red in the first season of TNG. He must have been relieved when he changed to green. :D
Come to tink of it, O'Brien must have seen Worf in red before...
red shirt are only really a thing in tos though
In TOS, Security and Engineering wore red. Security officers died regularly, thus the term "redshirt". In TNG, Security (and Tasha Yar) wore gold shirts but the term has stuck anyway. :D
LoL, didn't get it the way you were saying it. Nice.
Sadly that would've been better in TOS. In TNG, and DS9, The redshirts are safe. its the Yellow you gotta look out for.
Man, I really wish we'd gotten a Captain Worf series.
Miles and Worf should've hung out more. I'd watch a whole episode of them just getting drunk and playing darts and sharing war stories. Have a fight, laugh. Cool Klingon/Irish stuff.
anjetto1 that would have been a fantastic one off episode. Just great script writing having two guys go for a bender. No wider storyline and Miles could find himself waking up on a transport ship wasted with bottles of Guinness around him. Could of been a great chance to get some good comedy moments in.
malikail57 It was because Worf thought Jadzia wasn’t getting to Stovokor. He destroyed the Dominion Monac shipyards for her.
DS9: Image in the Sand and Shadows and Symbols
malikail57 I just watched that episode about two months ago. I’ve rewatched DS, VOY and ENT a few times. There are so many episodes I forget the details, almost like they are new to me 🙂
They'd go through multiple dart boards then! I hate to think what worf would be like playing pool!
WE IRISH DO NOT FIGHT ANYMORE THAN ANYONE ELSE
Romulan ale should be illegal.
It is!
A line from an earlier movie admiral Kirk in undiscovered country
“I will make it legal.”
Actually by that point in the canon it was legal. They were drinking it at a party on DS9. Which aired before First Contact came out
@@LCBanga by nemeses it became illegal again as the peace between romulans and federation worsened again.
It's like having your brain squashed by a lemon wrapped around a gold brick.
As much as I loved Wolf on TNG the DS9 worf was the best worf ever.
He actually won more fights on DS9.
Yeah. Wolf was a good character. But Worf on the other hand fought with honor and loyalty
Lightningstone2u _ Worf would totally kick Worf’s ass any day
TNG Worf was the teenager/20s learning his way around the battlefield.
DS9 Worf was the seasoned warrior promoted to command and leading troops into battle.
DS9 was the best Star Trek. In my humble opinion.
Worf: "They have found a way to penetrate our shields!"
Riker: "Change shields' modulation! And fire phasers on their weapons!"
Worf: *Does it*
End of history, the Enterprise prevails once again!
Galaxy class didn't have that type of shields
Fire back, all phasers and torpedoes full spread at will all stations. They also have to drop shields to fire. Don't just be surprised! Dawn.
@Zelda Morningstar It was actually the magnetic interlocks that were off line, but I agree---it was extremely irritating that the Galaxy warp core ejection system never worked when it was needed.
Given that the Phoenix was able to defeat a (presumably Galor class from the 600 crew complement) cardassian cruiser while its own shields were down, the Enterprise should have been able to take that small bird of prey, shields or not.
@@Joso997 by the end of TNG era the D could most definitely modulate her shield frequencies, they just didn't do it always automatically.
I remember when I was a kid I was SO EXCITED when Worf showed up on Deep Space Nine. Such an awesome moment! I still get a smile out of it. He was a perfect addition to the show.
Start Trek was sooo good back in the last four seasons of TNG-All of DS9 time. That was the golden age of trek.
Man I remember how big of a deal All Good Things was. Tickets were sold out to a sporting venue with a big jumbotron screen with thousands in attendance. Many showed up in Starfleet uniforms, cosplayed as Klingons and Borg, it was a spectacle that signalled an end of an era. DS9 was good, we got to see the griddy, non-idealist Starfleet that would have been too edgy for TNG. Then they tried to bring the whole exploration theme back with Voyager but missed the mark with bad screen writing. Then jumped on the prequel bandwagon with Enterprise that was OK at best.
I wish Paramount or whoever has the rights now, would do a continuation of the Trekverse. Like a shattered Alpha quadrant recovering from the Dominion Wars that you got to see a little glimpse of in Insurrection. A fractured Federation, a weakened Klingon Empire, a broken Cardassian Union, sudden aggressive Romulan Empire, and the teeder tauder balance of power amongst the major players.
headlesschicken6661 agreed, voyager missed the mark. Enterprise had its moments, but was mostly mediocre. I wish the would go back to a post ds9 setting too, there are a lot of great stories they could tell in that setting.
Enterprise got good at the end (terrible finale though) and Voyageur was saved by 7 and her hot body and solid story arc.
You're right though, DS9 and later TNG were the golden era of Star Trek. I grew up on the original reruns in the early 80's too. I loved Wrath of Kahn, the 1st film and Star Trek IV and VI. Nothing tops the DS9 period though, that Dominon War was incredible.
The only shows that equals that Sci-Fi quality are Babylon 5 and the three Stargate series. I fucking loved Commander Thor...ahem..."Supreme Commander Thor"!
GtheMVP Oh definitely...and i agree, the last season of Enterprise was pretty good. Of Course i love stargate above all, but ds9 will always be a very close second.
headlesschicken6661
CBS network the guys that gave us star trek discovery. time for the movies to take a break
No matter how many years pass I still love Michael Dorn's one liners as Worf my favorites are Frist Contact's "Assimilate This" & Insurrection when the Son'a question Worf about Riker's willingness to crash the Enterprise E into their ship and asks he wouldn't Worf's "Yes he would" never fails to put a smile on my face or make me chuckle 😁
that line work cause he work with riker for years and he know what sort of person riker was when the chip are down.
I remember wat6ching the crash of the Enterprise D on the planet in the cinema and feeling genuinely pissed off and sad at the same time.
It's alright, the enterprise E is a superb vessel.
JayMane And losing to a measly BOP is just cheap
The Enterprise D remains my favourite of them all. Losing her was like losing a vital character. The E, to me, felt unloving and cold
I've seen Spock die... when the movie was first in cinemas. And then I saw the Enterprise 1701 self-destruct the next movie ("Bones, what have I done..."... that pain...I felt it.
You'll be happy to know, the D_ is just fine
I love how DS9 really redeemed Worf’s mistreatment in TNG. They made a habit of making him look like a bitch, but DS9 gave him room to grow and prove how awesome he is.
Wait what, he was a key player in TNG. The guy was a massive part of the series and its spin offs.
@@argiebarge7955 Yeah I don't get it either. Worf was a valued member of TNG. The characters treated him well and there were many times when got to shine.
On Picard's Enterprise, he's a fish out of water. Philosophically contrasts to Picard and the rest of the crew.
On Sisko's Deep Space 9, he's in his element.
Nah, the Worf is a bitch is things taken out of context. Worf is this mighty badass. A great warrior and TNG was literally inventing the universe. Yes TOS laid the foundation of what Star Trek was, but TNG built the universe with so many ideas. When TNG introduced a new threat, you want to demonstrate what power it has, so you had it push Counselor Deanna Troi down a flight of stairs. No you didn't. You had it throw Worf around like a rag doll. That way the audience think, "Fuck, if it can do that to Worf, the rest of the crew is screwed." After doing 178 episodes over 7 years, they tend to reuse the same tropes over and over. Splice them all together in a CZcams video and it's easy to think Worf always gets his ass kicked. It's no different than the "It's been a few years since I've studied at the academy, what does that mean?" There is always one ignorant character that is asking WTF is going on just so they can techno babble some information to the audience. The difference is they can always use a different character to be ignorant of something while Worf is the symbol of strength so it's always him.
By the time Worf joins DS9, the universe and characters are established by 7 years of TNG and several by DS9 where Worf's character is no longer needed to show how scary some enemy is because we have already met them. Of course not everyone who is watching DS9 watched TNG so they need to reintroduce Worf to the audience and one of the first things he does is kick the ass of some Klingon while the crew comment on how awesome Worf is, which he always was.

We build our own. Cause anything E.T. can do, we can do better?
Um...Can you clarify what exactly you are trying to say???
Gene Roddenberry was determined not to build Flash Gordon type rocket ships so he designed the Enterprise the way it is now. Saucers are very efficient designs.
@retsaM innavoiG efficient in terms of floor space
Thanks for this. Could never figure out where the two shows intersected on the timeline, even though the TNG movies apparently don't really care about Worf's place in DS9.
Part of what I wanted to see was that random cut from Worf accepting Ambassadorship on DS9 to his sudden presence on the Enterprise. (Of course, the novels explain his transition, but the on-screen canon is jarring.... oh, and that voice change lol)
Victor Kong Try being time delayed waiting for the TV episodes/VHS of new episodes while the cinema is quicker releasing the movies, PRE - INTERNET. It was very confusing.

Finally, Starfleet actually could cause a Borg cube some actual damage.
"All hands brace for impact!"
"Sir, there's a couple thousand others on the ship who didn't hear you."
In the novels, after his Ambassadorship was over, Worf went back to Starfleet and is currently the First Officer of the Enterprise-E
The LCARS user interface is heavily encoded with number codes, but information regarding the safety of the ship - like the shield modulation frequency - is shown on a BIG FUCKING SCREEN in plain text. -.-
security through obscurity
Well into the future, security is an open source
They kidnapped Geordi, hijacked his visor's signal to transmit everything that Geordi sees when sent back to the Enterprise.
Then the Klingons recorded whatever Geordi sees which includes the shield modulation frequency.
I feel like on the show they would have detected a signal from his visor.
@eXcommunicate1979 I'm sure they would have on the show without a doubt. My gripe was why, after fighting the Borg at least 3 times, were they not rotating their shield modulations as a standard procedure? Or, why did no one think of doing so during the fight? Then there's the whole thing about a Galaxy Class outgunning a B'rel type Bird of Prey 100 to 1... Ugh..
Indeed, the computer would randomly rotate the shield frequencies on its own without a doubt. You don't need an officer manually rotating the modulation as on the show [lol], the computer would do it. And in the future, surely the computer would be capable of fuzzy logic, so the rotation would truly be random.
My only guess would be that adding such a feature would wear out the shield generators and would only be employed in an actual combat situation, or at least activated upon Red Alert status. That, or not possible with this model of shield generator and the loss of the Enterprise was the kick in the pants to push Starfleet to fit new generators on each starship in the fleet during their next scheduled refit.
Prepare for Ramming Speed!

@Shufei The production company wanted another enterprise because they thought settings build for the TV-Show wouldn't fit for movies.
But how the did it was hilarious. Absolute dumb plot.
Much better: Destruction of the original Enterprise in Star Trek IV.
vorname nachname the original enterprise was destroyed in Star Trek III, not IV
@@vornamenachname5589 Afaik it was about the studio model itself and the design of the Galaxy as a whole. The interior sets where probably fine.
I mean they updated the set for the movie.
TNG used three models of the Enterprise D.
Originally they build a 6 feet model and 2 foot model.
It was already known that the 6 feet model would be difficult to work with due to limited mounting options and weight. That is why the made a 2 foot model for wide angle shoots etc.
During filming of season 1 and 2 they decided to make a 4 foot model.
I think it was then that the 6 feet model was retired as it was too difficult to work with and from there on it only appears in stock footage any more.
The 4 foot model became the standard, it was also the 4 foot model which was modified for the "all good thing" Enterprise.
You can actually spot the difference rather easily:
The 2 foot model is only used in wide angle shoots and it stands out as the nav lights are too big for its size.
The 4 foot model has a thinner secondary hull, thicker saucer and more pronounced panelling making it a bit rugged and bulky.
The 6 feet model is has the sleekest saucer but a bit more round shaped secondary hull and the surface is rather smooth.
For Generations the studio refurbished the 6 feet model as the 2 feet model would look horrible on theatre screens and I think they lost the 4 foot model at the time…
But it was already clear that mounting and weight was an issue again. The studio also wanted a newer more action oriented design. It was clear early on that they would destroy the D to make way for the E which would solve all the problems the D model had.
The model of the E had all new mounting options and new design to make for better action sequences.
It was however only used in First Contact and then gave way to complete CGI in Insurrection so kinda pointless but that is also why the E in First Contact looks so good… because it is a physical model.
@@Praxics0815 Hey, thank you for that detailed information.

you cut it off before the greatest moment in all of startrek when the pimped out Enterprise D decloaks and WTFpwns the klingons with the lance of death
You're right. So very right.
It was a nice moment, but the destroying 2 Negh'var warships with a big phaser like they were nothing was a big much.
Holy shit they played the original Klingon theme when word came in to the bridge of the Enterprise E in first contact. How have I never noticed that before?
Haha! I always felt that that really became Worf's theme in First Contact... ;-)
Isn't it great?
I liked that a lot. But his intro in Insurrection was just lame.
Worf; Captain
Picard; Mr. Worf...what the he'll are you doing here?
Me; my thoughts exactly!
It's like "hey I was in the neighborhood after my wife was killed so I thought I'd shoot the shit with you guys cuz I know shits always goes down around that bald basterd"..."well how convenient, we're gonna go rogue where my earl grey tea comes super hot"
Because it is a slower, more quiet version than just moments before when we first see him on-board The Defiant?
@headlesschicken6661 It's even worse because he's explaining to Picard why he's there, and the film cuts to another conversation so we don't hear what the explanation is.
Can you imagine studying for years at the academy and making all the right career moves to end up as chief tactical officer of the Enterprise-E. And then every time the captain's old friend gets his ship blown up or feels like visiting you get kicked off your station and excluded from all the senior briefings?
Theres just not enough saucer separation in this series, also i loved beverly's hospital ship wish we saw more of those too
I miss the Enterprise E. A casualty of CBS Paramount.
In my headcanon, Enterprise-E's career actually ended happily. She was decommissioned in the early 25th century and preserved as a museum.
@@pozgaming4665 in soft cannon of STO she was destroyed in 2408 I think by species 8472 most the crew including captain data survive the attack.

People asking why they don't have seat belts. The inertial dampeners replace them. Just imagine wearing a seat belt when the ship suddenly breaks from 10000000x10^10 miles per hour! xD
@Shufei most people don't understand basic physics.
I always got the impression that inertial dampeners cancelled out the effects of high changes in velocity that were constant and smooth, but smaller and unpredictable changes in motion, like an explosion or a crash, could not be compensated for and that's why it was always so violent. So, seatbelts may help in those situations.
It’s almost as if people are thinking the crew need a variety of safety systems for dealing with a variety of situations, like inertial dampers for the expected and planned massive accelerations associated with FTL travel, and seatbelts for smaller, unexpected accelerations of weapons impacts and crashing.
But no, let’s just go with one system.
"They said go boldly, not safely"
-Starfleet Ship Designers, circa 2370
Yeah but considering the IDs still dont stop every jolt and judder of the ship as it's beaten by weapons fire, it would still be nice to have them as a secondary option.
It would have been nice to see a spinoff with Worf as the Ambassador to the empire
Still. Im glad we got the story we did. He was one hell of a klingon.

When I went to the Q&A session with Marina Sirtis (Troi) she her self pointed out it was the first time she had "driven" the Enterprise. She commented on how Will and Worf were teasing her on Set, saying thats what happens when you let a woman drive lol.
"All hands brace for impact"

"you know I always thought i'd get a shot at this ship one day" "perhaps you still will, she's certainly shit enough for you now" (riker starts crying)
The enterprise receives a lot of damage and even gets destroyed due to the fact that technology is not without flaws, unlike the millennium falcon that was built by magic elves using pixy dust.
I mean the Millennium Falcon got into like 2 fair fights during it's entire life span though. Most of the time Han Solo is running away from danger not towards it. The Enterprise has gotten into many many many fights and came through most of them with barely a scratch. Except for the couple of times the plot demands something happens to it.
Edit: Look I love both Star Wars and Star Trek, but come on. Most of the Federation tech in Star Trek is portrayed as magical all-purpose, built-to-last, completely efficient technology. It's almost always working exactly as intended and is easily repairable. Except those episodes when it's suddenly not. It's completely unrealistic. There's no corporation or military or government that wouldn't cut corners somewhere. Especially when we're talking about warships.
The Millenium Falcon on the other hand is a heavily moddified transport ship. It's constantly breaking and needing repairs. Even in the movies it will stall or almost fall apart in some areas. And it can't do everything great. It can just go fast. It's not taking on Star Destroyers by itself, unlike the Enterprise which can for some reason take on warships of a higher class in a frontal assault.
@@DeltaFidelias It's not brought up much in TNG but starfleet ships are just crawling with maintenance crews. There are always mooks crawling around in the pipes of the ship making tweek and adjustments. Hell, one of the tropes of the series is having the engine room full staffed during combat scenarios with the bridge having to communicate back and forth with them to make adjustments. Not to mention the propensity all electronics have in startrek to just fucking explode during starship battles.
I think it's brought up more in DS9 and Voyager where the chief engineers have more of mechanical background rather than a scientific one. Chief O'Brian is locked in constant battle to keep the starfleet tech working in a Cardassian station and B'Elanna is frequently dirty and on edge about keeping voyager afloat.
It's not directly ship stuff but I recently watched a DS9 episode where a Bajoran is talking aobut phaser and how while the starfleet phase has shitloads of options the maintenance makes it more trouble than it's worth for a regular soldier and that a cardassian rifle is much more useful.
It's mentioned from time to time in starterk but the advantage of starfleet isn't their technology, it's their engineers. The tech does break and malfunction but the guy repairing it his a ludicrously well trained techno-wizard. It's still a type of handwaving bullshit, but it's handwaving bullshit powered by the human spirit.
That's the thing about the Federation, it's not really about technological superiority, it's about human superiority. Their philosophy is built on cooperation and a pursuit of personal excellence.
Against superior foes the Entireprise doesn't win because of raw firepower. They win with psychological games, or by figuring out how to exploit the enemy's weakness or by using some kind of nearby anomaly to get an advantage.

What about the 11K that died at Wolf 359, fighting against *a single Borg Cube?*
Now, if you're looking for "the biggest epic fail of the Federation", there you have it. 😄
Riker was a dashing di khead
The bird of prey was 80 years old, decommissioned....even without shields the Enterprise d could blow it away with a full phaser and torpedo volley.....and only taken light damage at most....the bird of prey had plot story enhancing it's disruptors..
When i saw first contact in the cinema worf'ss first appearance and his line " prepare for raming speed!" was met with riotous cheers and vigorous celebrations. I too joined in removing my trousers and exposing my buttocks. People actually got out of their chairs and yelled at rhe screen with such ferocious delight that i thought the manager would come and throw us all out. It really was an incredible experience.
Martok was awesome. :D
And the actor actually DID become a real life politician. Small town mayor, I believe.
This was really well put together, seeing Worf's journey through the franchise. A+
1st time watching this back in the day , tore my heart out. She was such a beautiful ship. 😪
I love this crew so much. Data’s first instinct was to use himself to shield Diana.
There was no Diana on board.
@@LordTalax He means Deanna Troi .
Looks like worf finally got to ram something last time he tried to ram stuff Picard stopped him... and before that Picard stopped him too
I'm thinking Worf once saw an ancient Human movie called Ben-Hur.
Worf: "Mang, you don't let me do NOTHING!"
I was mad they destroyed the ent-D in its first movie, but, damn, that sovereign-class ent-E was a beautiful ship. What a design.
I always thought the C was the best design. E was definitely sleek and more war-like. But didn’t have the removable saucer section like galaxy class.
@@MaddRamm according to the books Preserver and Resistance, the Enterprise-E was supposedly capable of saucer separation, but we've never truly seen it
The impulse drives on the saucer itself does help this theory a lot
@@Reshiram543 and I've always the original Enterprise (NCC-1701) was a truly inspired design. I'm not saying it was the best visually, but for it's day it was light years (pun intended) ahead of any other "starship" in popular science fiction.
Excellent editing, transitions and standardization of the film formatting.
i love your worf compilations!
@ 2:00 that PC monitor the crewman was carrying must have been a total museum piece with nostalgic value. Retro junk nearly all of us have thrown away.
Nearly all of us. I collect those. I scavenge some valuable / reusable parts if it's broken. If it's not , I try to bring it back. 2 of those worked perfectly for the next few years from my repairs.
Szymon Nowicki - Brawo Szymek! Me? Ever since I dropped one on Harold, my pet trans scorpion, which put her in a mini wheelchair, I fly into a black depression every time I see one, and Harold shits herself.
First Contact is my favorite ST movie. Everything about that movie is great; especially the music. Ahh man, do I miss the TNG crew :(
This video needs a sequel now.
I love how every other star trek movie he just was around visiting or in the area being that he was stationed on DS9 after Generations.
This vid was fun as hell. Thanks
"Perhaps today is a good day to die!" "Prepare for ramming speed!" Love it!
CGI has nothing on real models like this crash scene. It has age beautifully, it probably is the best space ship crash I have ever seen.
It's amazing what reframing the shots does to the cinematography.
