"You're the best looking guy here."
There was a two book "unauthorized" history of star trek. I was going on a long rear end road trip when it came out and got the audio book. The one thing that stands out in my memory is roddenberry's return from his honeymoon. He said something along the lines of "you can go front to back, but you can't go back to front and maj has a nasty infection."

It's a great set of books though, if anyone is interested.

Worf's brother has permanent amnesia because the Klingon high council dishonored him for two years.

Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the original Star Trek theme (which he knew would never be used) because doing so meant he would get half the royalties for the song usage.


Patrick Stewart's agent convinced him to take the part on TNG because the agent was sure the show was going to be canceled after one season and it would be easy money.

It's especially funny because it comes after like, what, six times Worf has been in/out of the Klingon inner circles and dishonored/rehonored?

Worf's brother was very sick, with honour disease. The only cures are death and amnesia. Thematically a bit of a wildcard.

Martok talking about his wife is drat hilarious. He's so thirsty and enthralled and clearly struggles because it makes him hate himself. He and O'brien should hang out and drink.

Ezri's take down of Klingon society and their facile honor system was dead-on. Basically "honor" and "the good of empire" are kayfabe to justify a bunch of political bullshit. Rather like most political systems.

At the time of Next Generation, the Klingon Empire, despite the name, didn't actually have an Emperor for about 200 years. Eventually they decided to re-instate the position as a purely ceremonial role, filled by a clone of Klingon Jesus some monks made basically as a prank.

Martok's wife really wears the pants, which I imagine is incredibly common in Klingon society.

Worf grew up with humans, so the only knowledge he had of Klingons was from books. When we was a teenager, he got really into his culture, learned all the silly weapons and weird rituals and HONOR HONOR HONOR. So when he runs into actual Klingons, they're thinking "he does know that 99% of us aren't warriors, and we don't stab each other over insults or eat live food or any of that poo poo from BEFORE we were an interstellar civilization." But they don't say anything, cause they're polite, and it's amusing. And the few hardcore trad Klingons make him their mascot warrior brother. He's the Klingon equivalent of the weird SCA guys.

Q'APLA!

My favorite funny Trek thing is how the actor who played Gowron has spoken about that role in such serious and almost admiring terms.

I watched an interview once that had big Day-Lewis talking about method acting vibes.

e: Another one I remembered is the detail in The Mark of Gideon from TOS where Kirk strides onto the Gideons' fake Enterprise bridge and pushes buttons to bring the Enterprise out of warp, etc.

Later, when Spock reaches the fake bridge, he figures out within a few seconds that none of the bridge consoles work. That episode made Kirk look like a gigantic buffoon.

Season one had Michael Dorn in awful makeup that was terrible for his skin and it almost caused him to leave the show.

He was done with the character then learned how much they’d pay for him to return on DS9 and was happy to do so. (Both stories from Dorn at a convention but seem believable)

Wasn't one of his conditions for returning that Worf actually get to win fights?

Worf was a totally unnecessary addition to ds9's cast and story.

I remembered the random South Park where as part of their hostage demands they requested that Worf from Star Trek drive them to Mexico and they refer to him throughout as Michael Dorn as he's objecting to being called Worf etc. and apparently someone asked him about it and he was like awww man i wish they asked me to voice the role of Michael Dorn, I love South Park

Gonna politely disagree, DS9 was excellent before he arrived and then got even better. Way of the Warrior is one of my favorite two parters and he and Dax had good chemistry. Plus he was a big upgrade from Eddington, who then got to shine with the Maquis.
