I’m in season 7 of DS9. “Alamo” is just code for something, isn’t it?

I like to imagine they're playing through the events of Peewee's Big Adventure

BBC America airs Yovager reruns and it occurred to me that randomly putting on a Voyager episodes, on their own with not outside context. Most of the episodes have been ok (not good, not great but decent). But taken in totality on the show make them worse, it's kinda weird.

I skipped the three episodes in season 2 that are apparently nicknamed the trio of terror or something because I got through about 1 1/4 of them and did noit enjoy them at all. Other than those (and the warp 10 episode) all the others have at least been bearable watching them this way.

Since Kate Mulgrew stated she played it as such, I like to believe her unraveling is canon

Despite not really "getting" DS9, that reached one of the same conclusions as this thread.

I think it's just one of the pieces of thread mythology, nobody's ever posted any quote or source.

Ugh goddamn this loving "lol worf's a weeaboo" take annoys me more every time I see it.

Calling a character that was actually born as a member of an ethnic group and spent the earlier parts of his life being socialized into their culture a "weaboo" is the equivalent of calling a character who's actually Asian one.

And I've seen that, a lot.

The only thinking making doing it to Worf less offensive is that Klingons aren't real.

Worf's entire journey across two shows is his preconceived notion of what Klingon honor and empire are and the continual struggle to adapt and find his place within the reality that is a less-than-honorable and almost cowardly people he almost entirely can't identify with. I think it's apt, if broadly pithy and if we don't do that here I don't know what else we've made nearly 60K posts about. It's pretty clear no-one is being actually lovely about it in that way.

E: Worf is practically DS9's Janeway in that his level of comfort with Klingon culture is dependent entirely on the story being told - with the exception of a couple episodes that have some definite, linear throughput on his status and positions - and he frequently vacillates between the Ur-Klingon and Weekend Klingon.

I genuinely hope you enjoy watching Janeway's gradual slide into madness.

Quentin Tarantino plans on making the Star Trek universe a little bloodier. Tarantino’s proposed Star Trek movie is still percolating at Paramount Pictures. Tarantino’s involvement comes with a certain expectation about the level of violence and language that will be in the film, both of which are uncharacteristic of past Star Trek movies. This has led to some speculation about whether his Star Trek film would be rated R.

Fans can put that speculation to rest. Speaking to Empire Magazine, Tarantino confirms that if he’s going to make a Star Trek movie, that movie will be rated R. “Oh yeah!” Tarantino says. “It’s an R-rated movie. If I do it, it’ll be R-rated.”

In the past, Star Trek film star Karl Urban has discussed why it is that Tarantino would want to make an R-rated Star Trek movie, and it isn't for cheap curse words. “You shouldn’t worry that it is going to be full of obscenity and stuff,” he said. “He wants an R-rating to really make those beats of consequence land. If it’s not PG, if someone gets sucked out into space, which we have all seen before, we might see them get disemboweled first…It allows some breadth…gives him some leeway to do that. To me, that was always one of the things I loved about what DeForest Kelley did. He would actually capture the horror of space. That look in his eyes of sheer terror always struck me when I was a kid.”

Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the films, has also noted that Tarantino's film would be R-rated. “We're waiting on specifics,” Quinto says. “I'm thrilled that we might have the opportunity to work with [Tarantino] and see what he would do with us in this universe. It's going to be an R-rated version of Star Trek, which would be the first (in) the movies, and that's exciting. I've been a fan of his for years, and I'm really inspired by his originality. Take that originality and mix it with this world full of incredible ideology and colorful characters, and the result could be pretty thrilling.”
