Eh, a Japanese boy who was orphaned at six years old and for some reason adopted by Americans would still be a weeabo to me. But it's an extremely dumb discussion, even in the Star Trek thread. What's interesting is how kids learn to speak in the 23rd century. The parents may not actually speak the same language, and the UT can't possibly be compatible with a child under 3 years.

Worf is just being Worf, comparing everything to his ideal Klingon that exists in his head and having zero chill about it.

Yeah and he compares every single Klingon to his Ideal Klingon. Look at Nog, dude knew his dad was onto something with not being cut out to be the hyper specific Ferengi Quark pretends to be.

Worf and T'Pol should've hung out. They could've held entire conversations consisting solely of "Klingons do not [X]" and "Vulcans do not [Y]."

Yeah, pretty much all other Klingons fail to live up to Worf's expectations because they are real persons. Until Discovery I guess.

It's more than a little weird seeing that ghoul Rick Berman still hovering around the periphery of Star Trek stuff after all these years despite having nothing to do with any of it anymore.

Weren’t there a number of movies in the 60s about holocaust survivors encountering escaped nazis they recognized from the war? Star Trek gets props for putting Captain Kirk in the role of a holocaust survivor. Also that’s the one he hits on an actual teenager, right?

I'm not dismissing Irish-American culture or anything, it's a legit identity, but they're intense about their Irishness in a way my Irish family aren't.

That's a diaspora thing for sure. Short version: there's no opposition to being Irish in Ireland, it's just a background thing that most people are. But in America, Irish is suddenly opposed to German, Italian and "American" and whatever, and you have a reason to care about it, because it's a meaningful signifier of identity. We see the same kind of things with Turks/Pakistanis in Europe, where the first generation is not particular religious, but second and third generations increasingly become religious as a way of maintaining an identity. It's a bit strong coming from one six year old klingon though. Especially since he had no one to teach him of his ancestral ways, he has had to look it all up himself. Also i just watched the first episode with Alexander. In season four. I choose to believe that more time has passed than one year per season, because he's definitely way older than three years. It also heavily features klingons being untrue to Worf's beliefs, with Duras being a traitor who poisons the old chancellor, and Gowron being slightly scheming. Edit: definitely agreed on the cameltoes.

Just finished DS9 for the umpteenth time and I'm itching to get into the post-DS9 universe. I've tried STO and found it incredibly boring, are the DS9 relaunch novels any good? I hate that the only other media to touch that era is Picard

I was under the impression that Trek EU is basically fanfiction, with very little editorial oversight or regard for continuity. That blurb confirms my impression pretty hard. Seriously, why would Picard even care about size? And even the old Star Wars EU was mostly terrible with a few okay to good books and only moderate idiocy, and that was heavily regulated. Going to books to get your fix is is probably like cheap, impure crack to satisfy your coke addiction.

The Millennium trilogy was always supposed to be "Star Trek, but with wrestling bullshit" and a lot of people love it for that. Never got a chance to read it though. The actual DS9 relaunch books were apparently pretty decent, at least at the beginning? And they eventually tied in with an overall TNG/VOY/ENT relaunch.

I never read the DS9 relaunch, but the Enterprise relaunch did end up with a couple chapters talking about Ezri, in command of her own giant ship, finding the buried wreck of the NX-02 on some planet and that it tied into some big threat from the other book series.

Yeah, they're generally good and entertaining right up until Sisko comes back then it goes off the rails a bit. That's still about 17 solid reads (counting crossovers and the like) though.
