Actually, now I think of it, it was a great way to introduce Worf to someone who hasn't seen any of TNG. In this short scene, we learn that Worf is extremely serious but understands humor, a kickass fighter, smart and thinks tactically, has honor and cares for his son. And nothing of this was narrated to us.
@@floppydisksareop He does, in his own way. He just thinks the Rozhenkos would make better parents than he could on his own, as well as due to the high regard of familial honour and reputation in Klingon society, any dishonour Worf carried (like his Discommendation at the time he first met his son) would be unfairly passed on to Alexander
Still remember when I watched this episode for the first time. It was polish 90s. I was in elementary school. DS9 premiered on polish TV (can't remember if it was TVP or Polsat) in the morning, throughout the week. Polish kids have flexible schedule, so I had like 3 days during the week when I was having my classes starting at 10 to 12. That day I had my class starting at 10. Was going to leave home at 9.30. DS9 started at 9 (or few minutes after that). When Worf entered the promenade... Got late that day.
Worf backhands the brat, thereby challenging him to a duel to the death. He then defeats him while being unarmed. Then he takes his weapon, indicating that he isn't worthy of having it, and is weak for losing it. And finally he leaves him alive rather than letting him die with honor. In klingon that is quite the burn.
Drex was no doubt used to people not challenging him due to who his father was hence why he was smiling when he replied "That's right.". Either that or he hadn't met anyone he couldn't beat in a fight upto that point as it was clear he was the Alpha of his pack of friends.
We never see Drex again. Given what we know of Klingon culture, not every Klingon is prepared to live with humiliation on that scale. It's entirely possible that Drex decided to die by his own hands and his father had to go retrieve the d'k tagh mostly so he could do so with some semblance of honor.
Drex is in the books though! He's first officer under Captain Klag (Riker's Klingon friend) But Klag is very unimpressed with Drex as his first officer and has him transferred! Drex asks Martok for help, but Martok says that it's really Klag's choice! Drex still hates Worf, and is also upset with his Father for bringing Worf into the family!
Worf killed Duras and helped get Gowron installed as chancellor. Then he killed Gowron, and selected Martok to become chancellor. Worf was basically the real power in the Klingon Empire. And was still a Starfleet officer the whole time.
+Daniel Sullenberger Thus kind of proving Ezri's point about the Empire being in decline. If one man can accomplish all that and essentially choose who is in charge of the whole empire when he himself flip flops between the Empire and Starfleet, there's something pretty wrong!
Well things do improve after Martok takes charge of the empire, plus he has Worf also backing him up, since at the end of DS9 he becomes the Ambassador for the Federation to the Klingon Empire
+Lightningwarrior... which was just an exercise in the Federation recognizing a power base that already existed, and legitimizing it. Anyone else representing the Federation to Qo'nos would have to work through or around Worf anyway, might as well just give him the job.
hagamapama well worf already had a close relationship with Martock and had already the respect of many klingons, which half the battle for any ambassador, hence he was an ideal choice, especailly since he is well verse in klingon law and tradition and know how to handle them
Which is all true, and basically what I said in other words. He was in fact a perfect choice for ambassador -- as long as he doesn't go full native and remembers to represent the Federation..
What I love is that Michael Dorn was tired of getting his ass kicked in TNG and wanted Worf to be a badass once again. And the DS9 writters agreed with him, making him showing not only his acting talent, but the skills of his character too.
Warf is a BA, he's retaining his honor with the humans by following orders and suppressing his instinct. It doesn't matter, we humans can't hold a candle to Klingon redundancy lol
@@TheLynxer there were a lot of races that were said to be nearly invincible. Many were members of the federation. Yet we NEVER saw them in the dominion war. Just a single episode of TNG was all they were given. They didn't even help with the Borg. Like the Sheliak for example. Or the Nawsigans. Or that race that was trapped with Picard and two others in that room, while picards clone sung songs in ten forward. Many so called warrior like races that sat out during every major battle.
I always loved how Dax was immediately flirty with Worf when they first meet. She's such a good counterpoint to his personality. Her Klingon line roughly translates to "Yes, but I'm much prettier than he was." The fight has a lot of subtext. Worf striking Drex with the back of his hand indicated that he wished for a battle to the death. Then, when he bested Drex and took his dagger, he was signaling that Drex was not enough of a warrior to deserve an honorable death from Worf. This is a pretty huge insult by Klingon standards.
Agreed. She was easily the best match for him since K'Ehleyr. I'd even go so far to say she was a better match since Jadzia actually appreciated the nuances of Klingon culture, while K'Ehleyr was disdainful of all Klingons except Worf. Granted it was probably just Alexander Siddig randomly smiling during the take but given how smart Julian is supposed to be on his own at this point (not genetically engineered) and/or knowing that later he is outed as being GE'd, I like to think Bashir knew what Jadzia said and was amused at her not wanting to admit she was flirting.
+blockmasterscott That was the benefit of not really being tied to a traditional network.

Arthur Hoffert I don't blame them, role playing would be fun as hell with realistic characters and environments, it's like the pinnacle of virtual reality.
Worf is fun. All the strength of a Klingon, and by this point, all the pragmatism of a Federation officer. He only ever raises his voice as a Klingon or defers to Klingon traditionalism when it suits the needs of the moment, and otherwise, keeps a level head, at least until things get Real bad, and suddenly it's "RAMMING SPEED"
What's funny is how Worf kind of got his ass handed to him early on in TNG. But overtime, he became an experienced and capable tough guy. And a Klingon who didn't have his human upbringing might have killed these men and created a huge mess at Quark's bar.
@@robwalsh9843 In the early days he overcompensated by restraining his strength and passions.. later he learned to harness both to bring himself into better balance.
Fun fact: Morn actually let Drex and his crew off easy by getting up from his seat. If anyone of them had a laid a finger on Morn, there would be Klingon heads, limbs, and broken bodies all over Quark's bar.
At conventions and ComicCons, Mark Allen Shepherd, who plays Morn, said that he is amazed at how many fans say that they loved his character, even though he never spoke a word in the 93 episodes that he appeared in. They tell him that they smiled whenever they saw him on his favorite bar stool. In this clip, you can see Morn get up from his stool, and you can almost see him thinking "Ok, it's gonna get ugly - time for me to go... " haha
@@jenniferhughes7520Yes, I thought that too. Sometimes, in TNG, Dr. Crusher’s Science uniform looked a little greener than a true blue. I put it down to my TV or a different dye run on the fabric.
You really get an appreciation for how good Michael Dorn is when you see him off camera; the guy is a teddy bear yet he can turn the intimidation factor on for Worf in a moment.
Expanded role in the DS9 series. He even gets command of the DEFIANT, that's how much Captain Sisko respected him. And in the end, he's promoted to Commander Worf, probably none of that would've been possible had Worf remained with Picard and the Enterprise crew. And eventually Worf understood that. But he always looked up to Captain Picard like a father.
Nok2rnal1 Totally, if its bad enough for Morn to get up and walk away then you know shit is going down and Worf has to step in and take charge and restore order.
"I'm saying your son is a coward and a liar.' "And what of his father?" "That remains to be seen." ... one of the best little bits of dialogue ever written.
@@bamabarrelracer She was also in an episode of "In the Heat of the Night" as well. I was kinda shocked to see her - it was a pretty decent episode, to boot.
That's because things could get on board DS9 that an individual warrior could be reasonably expected to handle. Generally speaking, if something's loose aboard the Enterprise D, all security can do is try to contain it, so Worf winds up wearing out its fist with his face for awhile.
it was that and that on TNG, worf was characterized as this is what a klingon should be instead of being how the klingons really were and that made him come off native and inflexable. In DS9, he was a man of two worlds with his own personal opinions of both culturse and that made a very indualivial character.
Incorrect. They would fight for him if he got into a regular fight. But in this case, he was challenged to a duel and accepted the challenge by drawing his weapon. If he involved his bodyguards in any way, that would definitely be seen as a sign of weakness, especially for Klingons. Also Worf neither knew or had legitemate personal beef with Drex, so Drex could have actually refused the duel without any loss of honor as position-wise he was far above Worf. Alas, he accepted the duel. And by doing that, he is actually telling his men to back off. Can't pass yourself off as a victorious warrior if you need one of your friends to stab a challenger in the back in a one-on-one duel. This is why his men don't do anything at all until he loses and Worf picks up his dagger. The bodyguard does want to protect his leader but is torn between respecting the duel and Worf being pretty intimidating. You'll also notice he doesn't have his own dagger ready, which to me seems to indicate he was more interested in not allowing Worf to actually kill Drex rather than actually attempting to kill Worf. Kind of like he's saying "Yeah okay bro you won the duel but....he IS still kinda my boss so I do need to keep you from killing him" while ofcourse not knowing that Worf doesn't intend to kill Drex anyway. I definitely wouldn't want to be one of those bodyguards having to explain to Martok that his son is dead, even if it was 'legitemate'. So I don't think you can really say that they wouldn't fight for him. They obviously would, they're just bound by Klingon custom in this particular case. And I would even go so far that if they *had* interfered with (in the Klingons' eyes) a legimate duel between warriors, that could be seen as highly dishonorable, not in the least for creating the impression that their leader can't fight his own battles, win or lose.
The thing I love about Worf is that he's the only Klingon out there who isn't ruled by his emotions; he always thinks before he acts and speaks. Also, if someone needs to hear something, he will always tell it to them straight
Dax's quip to Worf: "Lupe, ajip jem'tala." According the writers, the translation: "Yeah, but I'm a lot better looking than he was." Interestingly, they later put out a Klingon dictionary and none of those words appear in it.
+Raptor CalloftheShadows Possible, but it definitely sounds like Klingon jibberish to me. Also, Google Translate can't auto translate any word, but it wouldn't know Farangi or something lol.
Doesn't seem Klingon to me. Klingons seem to like their hard 'k' and hard 'q' noises. Not in EVERYTHING, but more often than not, I'd wager. 'p'taQ' comes to mind, just as an (admittedly offensive) example.
Nice house, good tea. What do I have to do to prove I'm mortal? Die. Michael Dorn and Christopher Judge on SG1 both used the deadpan delivery very well.
I may be kinda crazy for thinking this. But I think he actually liked the hat. Worf rarely makes jokes or sarcastic remarks. Maybe the pointed tips kinda looking like large head spikes looked cool to him?
@@paulwagner688 I remember him playing a uniformed cop on at least one sitcom episode as well. Might have been talking a burglary or (car) theft report on ALF or something similar in the scene. He had notably hairy arms as I recall.
He also played a Antagonist in one of the recent TMNT cartoons are nickelodeon, the general of the Triceratons if I am correct, which was oddly fitting since they were also a warrior race. On a opposite end the voice actor for the Arbiter in halo was also in that show, it was very interesting.
Such a good scene! The electricity between Worf and Jadzia is visible even from their first meeting. Plus, it's refreshing to see Worf actually kick ass...instead of getting his ass kicked like he did in TNG.
I love Martoks look at the end. A combination of outrage, amusement, incredulity, confusion, and admiration for someone willing to be so honest with him.
Excerpt from Worf's diary: DS9, day 1: kicked some Klingon ass to show everyone that I'm now the big dick here. Got to know some hot chicks. Showed the doctor that I can beat him in any game, anytime. Made it clear to that little Ferengi barkeeper what i want, and that I'm not joking around with that. I think i left quite an impression. Looking forward to tomorrow.
harpyion DS9, Day 2: I saved the entire space station with a suicidal gamble with an officer gone rogue by showing them the size of my balls. So small he said, and so large I laughed. They will learn, in time, from my big, well kempt, boldness. I will, someday yet, be complete in showing the women of the who is a coward and a liar. I think i will be finished by tomarrow in the midafternoon. In that way they will know I own the hard wood to build that ship. How we will ride, my love, as we do battle to the death before stopping in the moment of the kill and make passionate love. For now i go to do battle to the death with my cleaning utensils before doing battle to the death with my sleeping arrangements. After that i shall slumber in which dreams of battling to the death enter in and out of the battle my dreams wage against me to the death until morning. If i should survive i shall again remind the station: i am warf, son of moge, tomarrow as well. I may do battle to the death with myself before bed, as is custom on such lonely nights. I will save what i bleed on the renderings of pulp made to wipe your face and, in my lonleyness, jettison the evidence into space with a scowl. The cleaning droid does not look the same at me. For this i feel shame, and only battle myself harder, to the death. Despite my underpinnings, I again look forward to the coming days. -Warf, son of moge
Just like old times, standing around watching while other characters got the spotlight and the action :) Miles and Worf BOTH got better development on this show. (Although I will say "The Wounded" is one of my favorite O'Brien episodes, so I gotta give props to TNG for breaking out of its typical formulaic assignments of plotlines to main cast members to "take a chance" on a long term recurring character.)
@@sonikku956 And unlike most Klingon warriors. Worf still has ALL his teeth. meaning he's way healthier than they are and they aren't even close to a match for him
@@vednar99 I've wondered that myself as it certainly looks like him. Its funny that Odo ends up pretending to be a Klingon along with Sisko and O'Brien. Speaking of that, I thought Avery Brooks played the lead Klingon in the Voyager episode where they met a bunch of them.
I love how they folded Worf, a character from TNG, so perfectly into DS9's world. Benefits of keeping things interally consistent across a shared universe. The MCU before the MCU...aha.
There are holes and inconsistencies, even retcons in Trek, if you look hard enough. It's true of any large universe with multiple generations of writers. Usually the writers do a good job of making sure we don't notice if it happens.
@@bostonrailfan2427 O’Brien was a perfect choice to have on DS9. One just has to watch the TNG episode “The Wounded” to remember that he’s a combat vet who fought in the Federation-Cardassian War. Given that the Cardies were going to get a lot of the spotlight on this show… it’s only natural.
Martok is fully expecting Worf to say that Drex's lack of honor reflects poorly on the father. the fact that Worf judges them separately highlights the difference in how he views honor (compared to other klingons) Martok is awesome for accepting & working with Worf's perception of honor. probably because Martok was low-born & resents that other nobles look down on Martok for his father's station, he also understands personal honor
I am not a fan of bringing in a character just to boost ratings, but adding Michael Dorn to the DS9 cast was an exceptional move. Worf brings an element of cool kick-ass to every scene.
I love that at this point sisko has already charged worf with the task of finding out what the klingons are up to, and when martok's son walks in, worf thinks "okay, time to get to work" and knows *exactly* what to do to get face time with martok.
One of the many things I loved about Deep Space 9 is you got to see Worf kicking ass. TNG just used him as a measuring stick to show other people were stronger. Many times in this show we get to see the warrior unleashed
Sumanadasa Wijayapala They all know who Worf his, his family is an honoured one, he is personal friends of Gowron, and Wolf is the current holder of the Bat'leth Championship. If you met him in a bar, wouldn't you back off this guy who is politically, physically and far more respected than you?
I imagine Klingons would consider bikers among the more respectable and admirable humans -- they wear their colors openly with no deceit, fight without fear, go where they wish, and look after their own.
Well...I've seen a group of 'em around convention time. It does look very fitting. Bikers can cosplay too. A girlfriend and I went out on my bike one Halloween, she was all in black, fishnets, lace, over the knee boots, demon wings, leather bra, I had my head shaved, two giant horns glued on, all my leather, a tail, chains....Hell and his Angel.
"Prune juice, chilled" One of those delightful little moments in writing where character experience (in one season) becomes character history for the next.
I met Michael Dorn once. My impression of him was that he seemed genuinely nice, massively large and has hands the size of baseball gloves. An excellent casting choice. .
you really have to appreciate the bravery of all of the actors. to be able to deliver lines and stay in character while a barely tranquilized Morn sits not fifteen feet away.
Something that's just struck me - Worf has his prune juice chilled, when Drex throws his 'cold' blood wine away. Another interesting point of opposition for the two.
Worf is such a badass. I long for another series of Star Trek. Haven't had one since Voyager ended and with nothing on the horizon, I'll keep rewatching TNG, DS9 and Voyager.
yeah because he is no longer head of security he is no longer used as a measuring stick to the baddie of the week. on TNG that how he was used just to be beat up to show that the bad guy is a threat.
More because, since he isnt in security, he doesnt need to do the paperwork on any incidents he causes. In other news, Odo curses under his breath every time he see's that klingon.
Considering that the very next thing he did was something calculated to impress her? He could have dealt with Drex at any time, he chose to do it then and there, with Jadzia looking on. She gave him a feminine challenge, and he met it with a masculine response. They were conversing below the vocal level for the entire conversation, and Worf put an exclamation point on it.
Worf would later go on to become a better son to Martok than Drex, thus completing his humiliation. Man was cold blooded-even colder than his prune juice.
Actually Worf went on to become Martok's(the real one, NOT this changeling) brother and thus Drex's uncle. That said, Martok's wife Sirella called Jadzia her "daughter" even though she was technically Sirella's sister-in-law. Also notice the similar personalities between Sirella & Drex?
I have NEVER watched this clip and I immediately thought in my own head "That remains to be seen", verbatim, before Worf said it. I've watched enough spaced-out clips of Star Trek to know how a Klingon would respond to a challenge of character.
True but he's still the only one of the main cast willing to sit in Worf's seat on the Defiant and not immediately move when he enters. He only moved after he told him to sit down while looking him dead in the eye with a smirk on his face. Not many would have the balls to do that even if it was a joke.
I'm not sure they could've introduced Worf to DS9 even slightly better. They really knew how to write, and Dorn knows how to act. Edit: OH GOD, Martok's smirk at the end! This is how you know this is gonna be a beautiful relationship.
Little did they know, Morn was actually holding back on them, if he wanted to he could destroy the whole klingon fleet on his own with only a glass of prune juice, a phaser with one shot left, and a bar of latinum deprived gold pressed latinum, and it would all be over.
I think it goes without saying that if you smack a random person in the bar in the face you might be asking to get hurt or even death, you don't need to be a Klingon to understand that!
Work is a fabulous character treading the line between the King on Empire and the Federation. Simply brilliant and marvellously played by Michael Dorn.
"You cannot take something someone does not have" Destroyed. Obliterated. Decimated. Annihilated. Devastated. Absolutely crushed without remorse. Worf committed murder only using words.
I just love how Worf addresses Quark in EXACTLY the way as he addresses a replicator.
MLW WLM all replicators should have a Quark reply lol
LOL I didn't catch that
Like a boss
Meanwhile Ezri says please and thank you to replicators
Prune juice, a warrior's drink.

Fun fact: Morn actually let Drex and his crew off easy by getting up from his seat. If anyone of them had a laid a finger on Morn, there would be Klingon heads, limbs, and broken bodies all over Quark's bar.
Plus the verbal onslaught that would have followed. Look up some of his insults, the man was a legend.
Worf does not start battles. He defends honor and treats Klingons according to their merit. (Everyone else, too, come to think of it.)
We talk about Morn.
Worf did say Morn was a formidable sparing partner.

@@ginnyjollykidd chilled*
At conventions and ComicCons, Mark Allen Shepherd, who plays Morn, said that he is amazed at how many fans say that they loved his character, even though he never spoke a word in the 93 episodes that he appeared in. They tell him that they smiled whenever they saw him on his favorite bar stool. In this clip, you can see Morn get up from his stool, and you can almost see him thinking "Ok, it's gonna get ugly - time for me to go... " haha
his only vocalizing is his laugh, but sometimes background characters make the scenes all the more realistic like him being normal at a bar
He's the Norm of Quark's Bar.
@@remus80
that’s why he is called MORN.

Who does not like Morn. He practically can spit money - or latinum in this case.
Ugh, damn guy didn't know when to shut up.

Indeed
I drank plenty of Warrior's Drink while recovering from gallbladder surgery.

Nothing like a good old glass of prune juice to get the bowels moving. : )
I love how Kira and Jadzia's medieval costumes match the colors of their respective uniforms on the station. Very nice.
Oh snap, didn't make that connection. Nice!
Oh, hey I never got that!
@michaelnguyen823 Jadzia is wearing green. Her uniform is blue.
@@phoenixrivenus9270 Is it, tho? Look at it closely sometime, especially next to Bashir's.
@@jenniferhughes7520Yes, I thought that too. Sometimes, in TNG, Dr. Crusher’s Science uniform looked a little greener than a true blue. I put it down to my TV or a different dye run on the fabric.
You really get an appreciation for how good Michael Dorn is when you see him off camera; the guy is a teddy bear yet he can turn the intimidation factor on for Worf in a moment.
And now he's bringing that back for his voice role of Battle Beast, in the cartoon "Invincible". *And my God, does he deliver!*
I've always liked Worf. He fitted in so much better with DS9 than with TNG.
Also Worf gets to beat up people instead of getting beaten up.
Nah I liked him in DS9 but he just belongs to the Enterprise.
@Dowhat Iwant I thought it was boring for the first 2, maybe 3, seasons. I liked the later ones a lot though.
TNG was mainly about Picard and Data.
They made him more of a primary character on DS9, and used some of the TNG material to do so.
Expanded role in the DS9 series. He even gets command of the DEFIANT, that's how much Captain Sisko respected him. And in the end, he's promoted to Commander Worf, probably none of that would've been possible had Worf remained with Picard and the Enterprise crew. And eventually Worf understood that. But he always looked up to Captain Picard like a father.
Worf was like .."did they just make Morn get up from his seat? Aww hell naww!
Nok2rnal1 Totally, if its bad enough for Morn to get up and walk away then you know shit is going down and Worf has to step in and take charge and restore order.
Rule 286: When Morn leaves, it's all over.
Why? Worf just arrived at DS9 and didn’t even know Morn at that time.
@@aspeltaofkush3540 I don't know what that meant, but it had the cadence of a joke.

"And what of his father?"
"That remains to be seen."

@@bamabarrelracer She was also in an episode of "In the Heat of the Night" as well. I was kinda shocked to see her - it was a pretty decent episode, to boot.
@@calanon534 I'll have to ck it out
@@bamabarrelracer She was on Night Court? So was Brent Spiner. Makes me wonder how many other Trek actors were.
Worf seemed to get much better treatment as a character aboard ds9 :), a lot less having his arse kicked and a lot more kicking ass.
not to mention he wasn't written like a snarling animal like TNG seasons 1-2.
That's because things could get on board DS9 that an individual warrior could be reasonably expected to handle. Generally speaking, if something's loose aboard the Enterprise D, all security can do is try to contain it, so Worf winds up wearing out its fist with his face for awhile.
it was that and that on TNG, worf was characterized as this is what a klingon should be instead of being how the klingons really were and that made him come off native and inflexable. In DS9, he was a man of two worlds with his own personal opinions of both culturse and that made a very indualivial character.
he dindt had to suffer the "Worf Effect" like in TNG to show that an enemy is realy strong and dangerous when he can combat and win against Worf.
It was one of Michael Dorn's requests for coming onto DS9 that he actually be portrayed as competent.
Note that Drex's companions won't fight for him. In Klingon, that is quite the character exposition.
Incorrect. They would fight for him if he got into a regular fight.
But in this case, he was challenged to a duel and accepted the challenge by drawing his weapon. If he involved his bodyguards in any way, that would definitely be seen as a sign of weakness, especially for Klingons. Also Worf neither knew or had legitemate personal beef with Drex, so Drex could have actually refused the duel without any loss of honor as position-wise he was far above Worf.
Alas, he accepted the duel. And by doing that, he is actually telling his men to back off. Can't pass yourself off as a victorious warrior if you need one of your friends to stab a challenger in the back in a one-on-one duel. This is why his men don't do anything at all until he loses and Worf picks up his dagger. The bodyguard does want to protect his leader but is torn between respecting the duel and Worf being pretty intimidating. You'll also notice he doesn't have his own dagger ready, which to me seems to indicate he was more interested in not allowing Worf to actually kill Drex rather than actually attempting to kill Worf. Kind of like he's saying "Yeah okay bro you won the duel but....he IS still kinda my boss so I do need to keep you from killing him" while ofcourse not knowing that Worf doesn't intend to kill Drex anyway. I definitely wouldn't want to be one of those bodyguards having to explain to Martok that his son is dead, even if it was 'legitemate'.
So I don't think you can really say that they wouldn't fight for him. They obviously would, they're just bound by Klingon custom in this particular case. And I would even go so far that if they *had* interfered with (in the Klingons' eyes) a legimate duel between warriors, that could be seen as highly dishonorable, not in the least for creating the impression that their leader can't fight his own battles, win or lose.
The thing I love about Worf is that he's the only Klingon out there who isn't ruled by his emotions; he always thinks before he acts and speaks. Also, if someone needs to hear something, he will always tell it to them straight
When him and Jadzia went to Raisa he went into his history a little to explain why he's so self disciplined.
Dax's quip to Worf: "Lupe, ajip jem'tala." According the writers, the translation: "Yeah, but I'm a lot better looking than he was." Interestingly, they later put out a Klingon dictionary and none of those words appear in it.
+Degrelecence It might not be Klingon. Many of the characters from Star Trek know 2 or 3 languages, and some know more than that.
+Raptor CalloftheShadows Possible, but it definitely sounds like Klingon jibberish to me. Also, Google Translate can't auto translate any word, but it wouldn't know Farangi or something lol.
Doesn't seem Klingon to me. Klingons seem to like their hard 'k' and hard 'q' noises. Not in EVERYTHING, but more often than not, I'd wager. 'p'taQ' comes to mind, just as an (admittedly offensive) example.
***** A good point... But, what else would it be? Trill?
Could be. Could be.
I've always loved DS9, from beginning to end but the introduction of Worf was a stroke of genius.
"Nice hat." LMAO.....gotta love Worf's deapan delivery :D
Aaron David Kapner Last time Worf wore a funny hat he said "I protest! I am not a merry man!!!"
Not many people can say they flustered Major Kira. :D
@@ematuskey And lived to tell about it.
Nice house, good tea.
What do I have to do to prove I'm mortal? Die.
Michael Dorn and Christopher Judge on SG1 both used the deadpan delivery very well.
I may be kinda crazy for thinking this.
But I think he actually liked the hat.
Worf rarely makes jokes or sarcastic remarks.
Maybe the pointed tips kinda looking like large head spikes looked cool to him?
2:10 Morn peaces out as soon as the Klingons come in. He knows what's up.
Brian U He didn't want to hurt them. :)
He knew he'd have to beat all of them up, and didn't want to end up in Odo's holding cell.
Morn ain't goin' back to jail.
Who would mourn for Morn if he died :D
Milan Nikolic I would!
Michael Dorn has such a calm friendly face in real life. But to see Worf. Damn..
That's the thing though, Worf is very calm -- unless he has a good reason not to be.
See him in ChiPs.
@@paulwagner688 I remember him playing a uniformed cop on at least one sitcom episode as well. Might have been talking a burglary or (car) theft report on ALF or something similar in the scene. He had notably hairy arms as I recall.
He also played a Antagonist in one of the recent TMNT cartoons are nickelodeon, the general of the Triceratons if I am correct, which was oddly fitting since they were also a warrior race.
On a opposite end the voice actor for the Arbiter in halo was also in that show, it was very interesting.
Don't let the friendly face deceive you. When Michael Dorn tells you to do something, you say, "Yes, sir," and do it.
Worf is one my favorite characters and Michael Dorn played the roll very well.
Agreed.
That voice....
He was better in CHiPs.
ME TOO..
Agreed. One of my favorites, too
This show got me through some very bad times. Didn’t understand that until I heard the theme 10 years later. I cried.
Would be awkward if she said something saucy to Worf in Klingon and the universal translators just translated it to everyone.
Half the people in the room speak Klingon anyway, Jadzia only said it in Klingon because she was talking to a Klingon.
That would have been hilarious!
I never get how the translator Works some of the time but not all of the time
@@EvilLoynis it's simple - 60% of the time, it works every time
Translation: "let's do it doggie style when you have time".
Even Nerys was a bit flustered when Worf arrived, must be his manliness.
He's Star Trek's version of Kenshiro.
She was flustered cuz Julian and Miles were clearly poking fun at her costume. lol
@@solarisone1082 accurate comparison but I would say more roah
It’s because of his manly smell. Earthy.
It's that petey musk of his
Such a good scene! The electricity between Worf and Jadzia is visible even from their first meeting. Plus, it's refreshing to see Worf actually kick ass...instead of getting his ass kicked like he did in TNG.
I love Martoks look at the end. A combination of outrage, amusement, incredulity, confusion, and admiration for someone willing to be so honest with him.
Love how Worf & O'Brien discuss the time when Picard was abducted by the Borg. Bros going over old war stories. What a stellar cast series.
Excerpt from Worf's diary:
DS9, day 1: kicked some Klingon ass to show everyone that I'm now the big dick here. Got to know some hot chicks. Showed the doctor that I can beat him in any game, anytime. Made it clear to that little Ferengi barkeeper what i want, and that I'm not joking around with that.
I think i left quite an impression. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Can one even *have* multiple Internets?
Nice. More please!
harpyion
DS9, Day 2: I saved the entire space station with a suicidal gamble with an officer gone rogue by showing them the size of my balls. So small he said, and so large I laughed. They will learn, in time, from my big, well kempt, boldness. I will, someday yet, be complete in showing the women of the who is a coward and a liar. I think i will be finished by tomarrow in the midafternoon. In that way they will know I own the hard wood to build that ship. How we will ride, my love, as we do battle to the death before stopping in the moment of the kill and make passionate love.
For now i go to do battle to the death with my cleaning utensils before doing battle to the death with my sleeping arrangements. After that i shall slumber in which dreams of battling to the death enter in and out of the battle my dreams wage against me to the death until morning. If i should survive i shall again remind the station: i am warf, son of moge, tomarrow as well.
I may do battle to the death with myself before bed, as is custom on such lonely nights. I will save what i bleed on the renderings of pulp made to wipe your face and, in my lonleyness, jettison the evidence into space with a scowl. The cleaning droid does not look the same at me.
For this i feel shame, and only battle myself harder, to the death.
Despite my underpinnings, I again look forward to the coming days.
-Warf, son of moge
harpyion That is the best thing I've ever read.
Cross Londenson That's Worf, son of Mogh.
I love they brought Worf to DS9. He got a lot more character development in 4 seasons of DS9 than he did in 7 seasons of TNG.
Probably enough time to get denied three times by Captain Picard. 😂
And like that, DS9's writers let us know that there would be no "Worf Effect" in this show.
"A warrior's drink".
Worf: "You're son is a coward and a liar!"
Martok: "But you like ME, right?"
Love how Miles is just standing there smiling, almost as if to say that it's just like old times.
I hope he pops up in the new Picard series
Just like old times, standing around watching while other characters got the spotlight and the action :) Miles and Worf BOTH got better development on this show.
(Although I will say "The Wounded" is one of my favorite O'Brien episodes, so I gotta give props to TNG for breaking out of its typical formulaic assignments of plotlines to main cast members to "take a chance" on a long term recurring character.)
Loved how Worf looked at the second Klingon like "What? You want some?"
Yeah and the 2nd Klingon was like "Nope"
@@Razorgeist Isn`t that ODO...
Like a dog baring its teeth, without growling. Pretty unsettling.
@@sonikku956 And unlike most Klingon warriors. Worf still has ALL his teeth. meaning he's way healthier than they are and they aren't even close to a match for him
@@vednar99 I've wondered that myself as it certainly looks like him.
Its funny that Odo ends up pretending to be a Klingon along with Sisko and O'Brien.
Speaking of that, I thought Avery Brooks played the lead Klingon in the Voyager episode where they met a bunch of them.
One of my favorite scenes on DS9..Worf truly got his space .. shows the depth Michael Dorn had which was largely unexplored in TNG.
As soon as Worf entered DS9, he started getting treated seriously as a strong fighter.
He stepped on some toes when he interrupted Odo's undercover investigation of smuggling. Sisko counseled Worf on how to slow down and you will fit in.
I love how they folded Worf, a character from TNG, so perfectly into DS9's world. Benefits of keeping things interally consistent across a shared universe. The MCU before the MCU...aha.
And episodic story telling.
There are holes and inconsistencies, even retcons in Trek, if you look hard enough. It's true of any large universe with multiple generations of writers. Usually the writers do a good job of making sure we don't notice if it happens.
@@MMuraseofSandvich Sure, but those are the exceptions to the rule. Trek usually makes more than sense than it dosen't.
considering they already did it with O’Brien it’s not surprising that they did it so well with Worf
@@bostonrailfan2427 O’Brien was a perfect choice to have on DS9. One just has to watch the TNG episode “The Wounded” to remember that he’s a combat vet who fought in the Federation-Cardassian War. Given that the Cardies were going to get a lot of the spotlight on this show… it’s only natural.
"And what of his father?"
Well, he's a changeling
"What of his father?"
"Has your wife revealed the identity of his father yet?"
@@HariSeldon913 lol that would have been an epic answer from worf
A Chang-ling? 😉
@@Dowlphin good catch 👍🏼
Not yet!
Martok is fully expecting Worf to say that Drex's lack of honor reflects poorly on the father. the fact that Worf judges them separately highlights the difference in how he views honor (compared to other klingons)
Martok is awesome for accepting & working with Worf's perception of honor. probably because Martok was low-born & resents that other nobles look down on Martok for his father's station, he also understands personal honor
That's true of the real Martok. Martok here is the changeling.
Such a great intro for Worf into the show
+Voices One of the more interesting and deep characters in all of Trek. Why he was in 2 series.
+llamapi3 Well so was O'brien, but Worf featured prominently in both series and O"brien really didn't.
+hagamapama Yea O'brien I think was put in there because he was pretty popular in TNG as a minor character. I still want an explanation on his rank...
+llamapi3 That changed multiple times.
Yes it dies, and no explanation is given
I love how Quark goes from laughing to fear in seconds. Truly brilliant acting
I am not a fan of bringing in a character just to boost ratings, but adding Michael Dorn to the DS9 cast was an exceptional move. Worf brings an element of cool kick-ass to every scene.
He brought trekkies an appreciation of how badass and cool it can be inside the Klingon Empire. We never got this on the original Star Trek.
Gotta love the last bit where “Martok” is like “oh shit this one isn’t like the others I gotta be careful.”
At 2:11 Morns all like "Whelp, Fuck This"
+CKing180 I thought the same thing.
+CKing180 Poor Morn.
+CKing180 Morn moving, a rare sight to be seen :D
+CKing180 (Morn) ...."Oh Look! The Nope Train is boarding over at Docking Clamp 3! Time to go!"
Morn talked too much and was the most badass.
He is Barney from the Simpsons.
Ya know what sucks about clips? they end abruptly after they absorb you..... dagnabbit
If you have either Netflix or Amazon Prime, just go watch the episode.
Yeah, I so regret not having secured the best of Trek for me while I had the means. Seen several clips today that reminded me of it.
Martok looks weird with both his eyes
I love that at this point sisko has already charged worf with the task of finding out what the klingons are up to, and when martok's son walks in, worf thinks "okay, time to get to work" and knows *exactly* what to do to get face time with martok.
One of the many things I loved about Deep Space 9 is you got to see Worf kicking ass. TNG just used him as a measuring stick to show other people were stronger. Many times in this show we get to see the warrior unleashed
absolutely Love Worf's intro into DS9 ^_^
His addition turned DS9 from a show I loved, into my favorite Star Trek show
Martok's reaction after "That remains to be seen." was a perfect mix of "you cheeky punk" and "I think I like you".
Quark, "Let me guess, Klingon Blood Wine."
Worf, "Prune juice, chilled."
Quark *laughing* "Prune juice??"
Worf, "DID I STUTTER FERENGI??!!"
Quark, "Yes sir, prune juice. Coming right up, sir."
He is a warrior, and a warrior takes mighty shits.
@@harveywallbanger3123 I laughed loud, long and dirty at this. Thanks.
Quark is many things. Stupid is not one of them. He knows having a laugh isn't worth a trip to the medbay.
HAHHAHHAAHA, HE PUTS QUARK RIGHT IN HIS PLACE..
NONE OF THAT DIPLOMATIC BS..
"Good game. Nice hat."
I think Dax says something along the lines of "yes, but I'm prettier", don't quote me on that.
It's "Yes but I look much better in a bathing suit"
yeah, but im prettier or more attractive than he was.
In the Way of the Warrior book, the translation reads as "Yes, but not as good looking."
Oh ho! So my assumption was right, she was flirting.
1:32 that's got to be one of the cutest faces to ever be seen in any Star Trek
Brilliant move by DS9 executives to bring Warf to DS9. Awesome fit into this awesome cast and series. Natural fit.
Worf, actually
I loved how Worf growled at Drax's men after subduing him
And how they just backed off!
Sumanadasa Wijayapala
They all know who Worf his, his family is an honoured one, he is personal friends of Gowron, and Wolf is the current holder of the Bat'leth Championship. If you met him in a bar, wouldn't you back off this guy who is politically, physically and far more respected than you?
Commander Loh also at the time, his brother Kurn was on the High Council.
And the person he just bitch slapped and humiliated was the boss' son.
And on top of that, it probably wouldn't take the rumor mill long to spread the word around that he was here on special invitation by Sisko.
Klingons always look to me like they should be in a biker group riding Harley's
I imagine Klingons would consider bikers among the more respectable and admirable humans -- they wear their colors openly with no deceit, fight without fear, go where they wish, and look after their own.

"Prune juice, chilled"
One of those delightful little moments in writing where character experience (in one season) becomes character history for the next.
I noticed that he didn't argue the insult against his son.
Because at this stage, this was the Changeling Martok.
Because he knows that it's the truth. : (
I met Michael Dorn once.
My impression of him was that he seemed genuinely nice, massively large and has hands the size of baseball gloves.
An excellent casting choice.
.
you really have to appreciate the bravery of all of the actors. to be able to deliver lines and stay in character while a barely tranquilized Morn sits not fifteen feet away.
Something that's just struck me - Worf has his prune juice chilled, when Drex throws his 'cold' blood wine away. Another interesting point of opposition for the two.
This scene never gets old I could watch it 1,542,688 times & still keep watching...
I love how Kira and Dax are still in their uniform colors.
Julian: "And, Major Kira Nerys...our first officer."
O'Brien: [losing it]
Worf is such a badass. I long for another series of Star Trek. Haven't had one since Voyager ended and with nothing on the horizon, I'll keep rewatching TNG, DS9 and Voyager.
I think it was Chuck from SFDebris who said the reason Worf is more badass on this show is because he's no longer in charge of security.
+RandyPantheGoatBoy Yep, he said that now Worf isn't in charge of security it means he doesn't get his ass kicked by every alien he fights now!
+Helbore He got his redshirt status, or in this century goldshirt status revoked.
yeah because he is no longer head of security he is no longer used as a measuring stick to the baddie of the week. on TNG that how he was used just to be beat up to show that the bad guy is a threat.
More because, since he isnt in security, he doesnt need to do the paperwork on any incidents he causes.
In other news, Odo curses under his breath every time he see's that klingon.
I dunno. you'd think after awhile Sisko would just tell Odo to put "Cause of Disturbance; Worf getting shit handled" and just leave it at that.
That smile at 2:06 you knew they were in love already.
Considering that the very next thing he did was something calculated to impress her? He could have dealt with Drex at any time, he chose to do it then and there, with Jadzia looking on. She gave him a feminine challenge, and he met it with a masculine response. They were conversing below the vocal level for the entire conversation, and Worf put an exclamation point on it.
Kira's faithfulness even in fantasy is pretty wonderful.
Worf would later go on to become a better son to Martok than Drex, thus completing his humiliation. Man was cold blooded-even colder than his prune juice.
Actually Worf went on to become Martok's(the real one, NOT this changeling) brother and thus Drex's uncle. That said, Martok's wife Sirella called Jadzia her "daughter" even though she was technically Sirella's sister-in-law. Also notice the similar personalities between Sirella & Drex?
I have NEVER watched this clip and I immediately thought in my own head "That remains to be seen", verbatim, before Worf said it.
I've watched enough spaced-out clips of Star Trek to know how a Klingon would respond to a challenge of character.
They would not hide behind walls
I love how Morn, certified badass, just stands up and walks away when the Klingons come in xD
YEAH HE COULD BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THEM ALL IN ABOUT 15 SECONDS..
Well, there it is, the moment when Worf becomes toast! Jadzire just had to run him down and pin him. Beautifully done.
I appreciate DS9 remembered Worf is actually a badass and not a punching bag.
Like the Julian hides behind Dax, Kira and a pillar when Worf throws down Drax.
True but he's still the only one of the main cast willing to sit in Worf's seat on the Defiant and not immediately move when he enters.
He only moved after he told him to sit down while looking him dead in the eye with a smirk on his face.
Not many would have the balls to do that even if it was a joke.
I'm not sure they could've introduced Worf to DS9 even slightly better. They really knew how to write, and Dorn knows how to act.
Edit: OH GOD, Martok's smirk at the end! This is how you know this is gonna be a beautiful relationship.
"You cannot take that away what someone does not have.". How true those words are.
This DS9 iteration of Worf is so fleshed out and compelling, he has rendered TNG Worf unwatchable at times.
It was nice getting to see Worf without the Worf Effect constantly in play.
Especially season 1 Worf.
I hated TNG's treatment of the character. Having a character used merely for shorthand is poor writing.
I loved TNG, but Worf was one of the disappointing aspects of it. I didn't even like Worf or Klingons until I started watching DS9.
my first thought was 'oh shit Morn got up.'
Bad enough that Morn vaccated his spot. Not good times friend.
If you watched the episode, you'll see those same Klingons were roughing up Morn in an earlier scene.
Little did they know, Morn was actually holding back on them, if he wanted to he could destroy the whole klingon fleet on his own with only a glass of prune juice, a phaser with one shot left, and a bar of latinum deprived gold pressed latinum, and it would all be over.
@@funkmantim2661 Morn, there all day every day, same chair = NORM.
Worf backhanded the guy to start the fight. I think that means he was actually challenging him to a duel to the death.
Either that or initiating a mating ritual. You never know, Worf may like a bit out of every pot.
Initiating a mating ritual is a straight jab with the palm of the hand. God, I can't believe I know this stuff.
Jus10Ed Lol,
its a backhand slap to the face, if you look closely he hit him in the forehead
I think it goes without saying that if you smack a random person in the bar in the face you might be asking to get hurt or even death, you don't need to be a Klingon to understand that!
I love how Martok and Worf started, then finished up as best friends ruling the Empire
One of the best episodes of DS9 of all. Way of the Warrior is one of those I’ll watch every year
The Worf Effect annulled!
lol supposedly Dorn got so sick of this that in the rules for joining DS9 he had them KNOCK it off.
When Morn leaves his seat, you know shit is going down!
