The Federation really are the most accomodating people in the galaxy. poo poo like this happens and the DS9 crew just go along with it. Can't imagine the Klingons doing that somehow. And I'd imagine the story where the Pakled encounter the Romulans would be a lot shorter.

He was 5 when he was adopted, I guess that's old enough to get the language and basics of the culture down. But his understanding of klingon honour and what it means to be klingon absolutely got stuck in some child-like idealized 5 year old's version of it.

To be fair, it's not like Worf's foster parents would have necessarily known what was accurate or fair about Klingon culture. The Federation's obviously got no fuckin' clue (remember Picard's remark to Riker in season 2 about "we still know so little about them"), so I figure they basically got school textbooks or whatever from the Klingon embassy. Of course the materials they get are going to say that Klingons are actually the most honorable space warrior empire, and it's not like they want to say "yeah actually you come from a nation of dipshits that are scared of Tribbles, Fed supremacy forever", so it makes sense that Worf's going to have a rather idealized vision of the ~*Klingon Empire*~.

And, hell, it's entirely possible that old man Mogh really was a super-upstanding honorable space warrior. Martok might be more pragmatic but he obviously still believes in the ideals of Klingon culture too - he's just grown up in it enough to know how to keep his head down and bend rather than stand up and get killed for his ideals. Worf just didn't have that experience.

It's still pretty unfair to call Worf a 'weeaboo' because he really is a Klingon who is desperate to know more about where he comes from and to engage with the culture that his parents were part of, or at least what he believed his parents were part of. Now, if Wesley Crusher was getting into arguments with Barclay about how "fuckin', klingons are actually the most honorable space empire, i only watch klingon operas with subs not dubs," we'd be totally right in calling Wesley a "klingaboo" or whatever the gently caress word we want to use for that.

Who has less game? Harry or Geordi? I don't think either of them ever got laid.

7 of 9 pretty much asked Harry to bang her, but he was scared of the pussy I guess.

Geordi even had trouble getting holo programs to gently caress him.

Geordi's game level is negative infinity, so I'll assume Harry has more game even though I've never watched Voyager.

Harry had sex with that infectious woman who lived on the welded up begger ship.

Geordi vs. another human is not a fair comparison. You need to think like Geordi vs. Picard's fish or Geordi vs. a warp nacelle.

Doesn't count. If we're gonna start counting every time we nailed a homeless chick inside her box (both kinds), then suddenly we're all going to have Magic Johnson numbers.

Also, Harry goes out of his way to ruin his chances. He woke up one day to find himself back at home with a girlfriend and great job. His first thought was "I must get back to the ship where I keep getting killed, shouted at by literally everyone, and I'm outranked by people who never even went through Starfleet academy." Dude is pretty devoted to not getting laid.

Geordie gets negative points due making a program about the woman who friendzoned him and got caught.

No she friend zoned him years ago. Pretty sure they have a conversation after she's reanimated about how she regretted that , but he's dumb and she realizes she was better off not riding his garret wang and goes back to live with the other space zombies.

The episode where Seven of Nine is the only one left to defend the ship and she steps on a suspiciously rigid sock in Ensign Kim's quarters was always particularly disturbing. Few people remember it though, they shut out the memory like that episode where the doctor is upset when he realizes he kept Harry Kim alive rather than prioritize his time to have instead cleaned up a pile of padds and loose medical reports.

Star Trek really does run a pretty wide spectrum of situations. Some are totally kid-friendly and others are downright heavy and dark.

I think I have figured out the two ends of the spectrum though. On one end, you have Kirk, Spock, and Mccoy all sitting around thr campfire singing Row Row Row Your Boat. On the other end, you have Troi getting telepathically raped.

Everything else pretty much falls somewhere between those two.

It might look something like :darksouls: but instead the world "leola root" appears. Or '3 year olds". Or "Mr. Vulcan"

Background should be generic starship corridor grey rather than black.

Was O'Brien's neverending misery ever explained? Were the writers just "well, we need to show that not everyone is happy in the future space utopia, let's start piling poo poo upon the pudgy Irishman"?

Yeah, he was supposed to be the Everyman who falls through the cracks in the spas utopia, despite being a good guy who doesn't do anything wrong.
