Eh I'm sure "Klingon Cook" isnt a very high position. They probably go to the less brave, or more tame if you will. NOT trying to offend any real life chefs lol. But we're talking Klingon culture here. Where dieing in battle is the greatest honor. While I'm sure the Klingon cook will jump into battle. I'm sure he's the cook because he's less than stellar in battle. But who knows... they could be a hidden Klingon Steven Segal.
I like how she stated that the symbiote is not the golden ticket. The host must be self aware and be able to recognize their own goals instead of letting the symbiote take control once they are joined.
Sisko: “All hands battle stations!” Sisko: “Chef Klingon, epic music” Chef Klingon: “It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight Risin' up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger.”
This guy has no business competing for joining. "It was my father's greatest wish", "he didn't care what I did, so long as I became joined". That right there is the absolutely _worst_ possible reason to do anything. This guy's father was no doubt the stereotypical domineering type. The sister goes her own way and gets cut off. The son then gets guilted into fulfilling dear old daddy's unfulfilled ambitions.
@@MIGBMWLOVER I have personal experience with it, too. Nothing but demands, guilt trips, and manipulation from my father. He cut me off for getting married.
@@greatlakes6916 Yes and no, it’s not so simple. Parents do need to guide their children to a career that will both make them happy and earn them a living. Choosing a Korea that makes you happy but doesn’t earn you with living in the end is going to make you miserable. And possibly dependent on your parents. But if it feels wrong, then don’t do it because you’re going to have to live with it. Bad advice from your parents is just like bad advice from anyone else.
I love the Klingon chef because he proves that Klingon civilization is just as complex and different as everyone else's. An entire society of warriors is completely unrealistic and wouldn't be sustainable. There have to be Klingon chefs, just like there have to be Ferengi and Romulan farmers. Cardassian singers, and Orion philosophers. Come on, give me some more fleshed out species and the various cultures within each!
@@NucularRobit There was an episode with the Ferengi scientist on TNG. The Klingon scientist G'dath who also worked as a High School teacher whose family were farmers! Chancellor Gorkon and his daughter Azetbur were not members of the warrior caste. Azetbur refused to allow the warriors to perform the Klingon warrior death ritual on her father!
Certainly true and I also love more fleshed out civilizations. However concerning the Klingons, wasn't that kind of their problem? The society used to be far richer and diverse, but is sort of at risk of dying out, because of the extreme focus on warriors?
Gotta hand it to her, if i could customize my own holosuite and it costs 1 Bar of lithium I would do crazy shit too... If this is her rock bottom I'm just bumping against the sides man
@IdleBigots My first reply was a joke, but i must agree that your comment is not mere speculation, but Klingon music has been referenced enough in the books to say that like most music some humans love it and some humans hate it, and Klingon Opera has been featured in Star Trek: Picard being the only music on one ship that is inhabited by a few races and it being the only music on board, making it cannonally accurate in the on-screen setting as well.
Nah, Ezri kept plenty of her own personality and goals. She, for example did not adopt Jadzia's (or rather Curzon's) rose-tinted idea of Klingon cultures.
It really contrast well with this episode. The Trill cultural dogma that joining is a difficult, tricky process. Where it was later revealed it really wasn't that difficult.
This is actually good adwise for people who want a partner too. if you have not enough self awareness you will loose yor self completely in a partnership.
Interesting how Jadzia said that you needed to be strong or the symbiont would overwhelm your personality. With Odan on TNG it certainly seemed like the symbiont pretty much WAS the personality and the host just an empty vessel. Was Odan an unusually strong symbiont, or were the hosts just badly chosen and not strong enough?
On TNG they hadn't fully developed how the Trills worked. But in later DS9 it was revealed that almost any Trill can actually accept a symbiote, they just made the barrier of entry so high so that the Symbiotes were valuable and whoever received one was sure to actually improve its quality of life. As opposed to them being traded like a commodity.
Odan was also bigger than Dax and more colorful. Maybe there are two species of symbionts - one that completely takes over the host and one that more blends itself with the host personality.
@@Sam-bc6sr I think by the time they were writing for DS9, growing a humanoid trill into adulthood and completely eradicating its personality and replacing it with the symbiant's personality is inhumane. So they rewrote how the joining and how the two beings function together.
Beta Canon material says that Odan was a Trill who was infected with the Klingon Augment Virus. I guess they just use that excuse for every plothole, huh?
You are just going to have to retcon TNG enough to make Trills work. But I think strong symbiont personality works fine. There's a couple of TNG episodes that are impossible considering the rest of canon. Specifically TNG "Unnatural Selection". But the loss of 1 or 2 episodes is nothing compared to entire series that doesn't fit (ENT or Discovery cough cough)
I don't know about anyone else. But I wish we had found out what happened to Arjin. Did he become a host? Or did he realize that his father's dream was not his own? I almost wish *he* had been selected to become Dax's host after Jadzia's death. That would have been interesting. To me, anyway. Kind of a, "full circle," thing, in a way.
Best thing for Arjin, after hanging out with Jadzia, would have been for him to pull his head out of his ass and realise he doesn't owe his domineering father anything. At which point he pulls himself out of the symbiote program.
I always wondered what would happen if Jadzia some how found her way to Earth in the StarGate universe more specifically how would they react to her connection with the dax symbiont
They would probably be reluctant to trust her at first but since her symbiont is not a Gould, they would probably treat her like any other alien they have encountered. Things would be going just fine then Colonel Maybourne would show up wanting to conduct experiments on her, they would then find a way to send her back to the Star Trek universe.
i would think it would be similar to how they view the tok'ra, worried at first but after seeing the symbiotic relationship between the two and the volunteering of being hosts would sway them greatly on making the trill a ally (yes this is a year late to reply to you XD but wanted to put my two sense)
“The symbiont’s influence will overwhelm your personality” And that right there is our explanation of why Odan’s hosts seemed more like extensions of the symbiont than we are used to with Dax
I love the trill as a concept. However, I would like to have a better understanding of what the symbionts are like as individuals. Like if you took Dax out of Ezri, what would it think of itself. Does the symbiont have its ow sense of self from its time outside a host or is it purely a gestalt being made up of all its hosts. Either way, very fun concept.

People commenting "Prove that Klingon's are not all warriors" and the like keep in mind that in our own history a pure warrior job was rare. The Greeks for example outside Sparta did typically normal jobs then if someone invaded or the leaders decided to invade those people would pick up their weapons and armor and go to war. The Norse very much the same until someone said "Let's go a Viking". Samurai typically ran their lands until someone offered them money for heads. Outside Sparta being a warrior as a job is mostly a recent development.....you know last say four or five hundred years as standing armies are very very expensive so rare historically......keep in mind guards are not soldiers. So that cook is likely a warrior (part time like the guard or reserve here in the U.S.) same with any other "non-warrior" we see elsewhere in trek.
