A tragic tale, told in the most overwrought way imaginable.
Yeah. I’m a huge Worf fan (he is and always has been my favourite Trek character) but that scene does not work for me at all. He doesn’t even sound like Worf here. Riker too sounds totally wooden at the beginning. Not sure if it’s the missing post-production but everything about this scene feels off. It’s a good thing this scene didn’t make the final cut.
Worf was always pretty stiff and formal when speaking, but he was also pretty direct and to-the-point.
The odd phrasing as its likely the original audio from that take, as redubbing would be saved for confirmed scenes.
Yeah, I’m also not sad that they removed a bit of backstory about a woman being killed causing Worf to revaluate his life and motivations.
Yeah. There’s no need for an off-screen tragic backstory to drive Worf toward samurai pacificism.
His valuing both his Klingon and Federation heritages was always going to take him there. I’m glad they cut that scene.
I agree. There’s an irritating trend in storytelling lately where characters are driven primarily by their trauma. It oversimplifies things.
Fridging another woman or other equity group representative to advance a character has become a norm in the new Trek shows. I’m glad they cut this one.
I’m glad this scene was omitted. I think that it starts as a “beautiful little moment,” but then it just goes off the rails. I thought it would be about Worf reconciling his Earth upbringing with his Klingon heritage, finding a balance that suited him, or something along that line. Nope. Using killing a random woman (or anyone) as a plot point. Always tiresome, and very not Worf.
