Also am I going soft or is Neelix getting far more tolerable in the second half of Voyager? I guess it helps there are far less Neelix-centric episodes and without Kes he cannot pull his annoying lovely boyfriend routine.

Worf killed another child by mistake as a kid, so you would think he'd be extra protective of humans in general or children or something.

I'm Ross being completely unimpressed by Data's wig reveal. Also, is Data tucked or untucked?

He was raised in Minsk, the capital of Belarus (former? does Belarus still exist? who knows) by human parents native to Minsk for the vast majority of his early life (he was pretty much a toddler when the Khitomer massacre happened) to adulthood. Worf is a slav.

Though I do get the impression that there are Klingon stoics like Worf, just that most Klingons are just happy to be the space frat vikings.

Word, there's an episode where Worf gets homesick drunk and just starts moaning, "Miiiiiiiiiiiiiinsk......MIIIIIIIIIIIIIINSK..." I guess WWIII irritated all the squatting out of Slavic culture though.

One thing that I really like about the timelines dumb game is that each time you level a character up, for some characters, you absorb all their gear and then re-build it at a higher star ranking. Which requires the lower level stuff. So by the time you get say, Picard to level 50 he's rockin' a saddle he's made out of roughly 6 dozen purple dresses and chef sisko is wearing a hat made from a score of blue shirts. Both of them have random communicators and self-sealing stem-bolts falling out of every seam.

If you skip clip shows how will you learn about how to cure that disease Riker gets and how to cure it. 1) Make him nostalgic - doesn't work 2) Make him horny - makes it worse 3) Make him pissed off - Treatment starting to show promise 4) Make him remember all the times he got his rear end beat - Cured

Belarus didn't really exist when TNG first went in the air. It was part of the Soviet Union, so Worf was written as Russian.

Was worf always intended to be Russian or was his whole adoption backstory added during the shows run? He starts the show just kinda growling so... it could go either way?

He is part of a funny tradition of background or one off aliens becoming regulars and fan favorites. Same went for Damar and Martok.

Pretty sure Worf's original character in the first season or so was literally just 'klingon in starfleet', they didn't really have him talk much about his background, particularly about being raised by human adopted parents or being raised on Earth until he became a bigger character and got more fleshed out. It's interesting, going back and watching the really early episodes, but you'd think he'd (somehow?) gone straight from the Klingon homeworld to Starfleet Academy for the way he acts, but at the same time, it's still totally in-line with his being a huge Klingaboo who refuses to acknowledge the human influence on his upbringing, just like, say, a Nisei who's all about bushido and martial arts and tea ceremony, but refuses to admit he grew up in, like, Vancouver, or Sacramento, or whatever, and all his friends used to call him 'Toshie', but now it's 'MY NAME IS TOSHIRO'.

Currently watching Battlestar Galactica, this is my 4th time watching the entire series, but the first for my wife. We previously watched all of Star Trek the Next Generation. It has been interesting to see Ronald D. Moore apply what he learned from TNG over to BSG. Some of the episodes for BSG are just copied over from TNG episodes even. Like tonight we watched the one with the virus that could wipe out all Cylons, and it's obvious Moore copypasted the TNG script about this very thing with the Borg and changed some names.

Yeah, his whole arc goes pretty well all things considered, with its conclusion in DS9 realising he's got a pretty inaccurate picture of what Klingon society actually is, though to be fair a lot of Klingons are in pretty hard denial about that too. And that it runs pretty deep between him and Kurn, to the point where Kurn actually says he'd wished they'd been raised together- whether on Earth or Qu'o'nos- because the culture gap between them is so wide despite having a lot in common.

IMO after going through DS9 recently again, Worf comes off as a dickhead on that show much more than on TNG. Especially when other Klingons are around. When Ezri shows up he just glowers at her for like 8 straight episodes. He also keeps butting heads with Odo constantly. Then there’s the whole Risa episode...

Actually you're way off in the TNG regard. A lot of BSG is just "gently caress you Berman, this is how I would've done ST:Voyager".

It's been so long, but they start losing the point and relying on endless "drama" and stupid twists some time in season 3 I think. It's still worth a watch, but you reach a point with diminishing returns, then you realize that you're watching out of habit or momentum.
