In the DS9 episode where the cast played a ballgame against a bunch of vulkans, Worf and Jake Sisko were the only competent players on the team. EDIT: I'd guess Bashir is okay too given that he's supposed to be athletically gifted through science, though you didn't see a whole lot in this particular episode.

Civilized Fishbot posted:It made sense when Tuvok did it because he's a Vulcan and therefore an rear end in a top hat about regulations. It was bullshit when Riker did the exact same thing even though he let Worf walk around with a giant sash like he's the mayor of the Enterprise Worf's sash is a sign of his family's nobility, so of course he gets to keep it. Privilege.

- Worf has no idea where the actual strike zone is, which basically makes him a replacement level baseball player - Jake is every AAAA guy who gets called up and immediately shelled by an entire lineup in their debut - Rom is Ichiro, but only that time he accidentally homered on a bunt - Sisko is Mike Scioscia - Odo is Angel Hernandez - Ezri is Wesley Snipes in Major League

"Find him and kill him!" Worf is obvi Pedro Cerrano and can't hit breaking balls because they are deceitful and without honor. John Wick of Dogs posted:He won that Batleth tournament, he beat about every Jem Hadar in single combat, he whooped Garak's rear end. He also beat Gowron twice. Granted, Gowron he known for his skills as a warrior, but it still counts and he looked pretty good with a bat'leth to me. I've decided my favorite thing about Gowron is how happy and excited he was to say other people's names. "But they sorely underestimated OODOOO here!  "

If you tell Michael Chabon you’re trying to replace him with good writers I’m pretty sure he’d hulk out or spontaneously catch on fire or something. Also watching TNG the thing I’m noticing the most is the makeup. Selar you have some amazing dewy blush!!

Was there ever a time in all of TNG where Worf showed even the basic level of competence that would be expected of an officer at his level? Was there EVER a time when he was responsible for a solution that didn't involve violence? Did he ever fix something, or come up with a strategy or technical innovation? Literally the only thing that comes to mind is that comm badge forcefield he used in Fistful of Datas...

Writers really seem to like using Worf to demonstrate failure or as a target of criticism. Maybe they feel Worf can get away with showing more of an impudent reaction that the audience can sympathize with because he is Klingon; or maybe they like having the contrast of someone strong and "savage" managing to take it like a starfleet officer. It is sort of similar to how O'Brien is used to demonstrate suffering. He's good at playing the underdog/evoking sympathy. Or maybe it's just racism.

There was that episode where Kheylar first shows up, where a bunch of Klingons wake up from suspended animation and are going to go attack Federation outposts if the Enterprise don't stop them. Kheylar is all " Just blow them up" while Worf is the one to come up with the plan to fool the Klingons into thinking that he's in command of the Enterprise.

Listened to the Phage episode of The Delta Flyers. I think a problem with their format is that I don't really know what the episode was even about by the end. Something The West Wing Weekly did was pretty clearly talk about the story beats of the episode so even if I couldn't picture it exactly in my head I knew I had watched it and it triggered my memory a bit. Maybe they're doing this in the paid extra bit?  It probably helps that at least one host on TWWW is a huge fan of the show as well as an actor on it whereas I doubt Garret and Robert care that much about Voyager.

It never felt justified based on what we've seen from him.

If he hadn't killed  , then the Klingons might have been crushed before the Federation developed a counter to the Breen, and the dominoes fall from there...
