Star trek tng sins of the father11/12/2022 ![]() Kern refuses, and is severely wounded by an assassin. Durris ambushes Kern in a tunnel below the city, telling him to let Worf stand alone, and saying that he knows Kern's true lineage. The leader of the Council, Kempeck, privately urges Worf not to continue the challenge, saying no dishonor will come to him if he departs before the mokba, the formal presentation of evidence. When he arrives, Durris (the son of his father's greatest rival) makes the formal accusation, and Worf makes the challenge. Worf chooses Kern as his cha'dIch (essen- tially his second) for the trial. Picard refuses, saying that if a respected officer is going to be tried for a capital crime, his Captain must be at his side. Worf immediately decides to go, and asks Picard for leave. If he challenges and fails, he will be condemned as a traitor and exe- cuted. ![]() When he discovers Worf is satisfactory, he tells Worf, "The challenge is yours to make." Their father, Mogh, has been accused of treachery in the destruction of the outpost, and Worf must go before the High Council to clear his father's name. He came on board to see how "Klingon" Worf is. Very few people in the Empire know his true lineage. (Shades of Sybok, but this is better done-Worf didn't know he existed either.) He was only 1 Turn old (yes, Turn-someone's been reading Anne McCaffrey) when Worf and his family left for the Khitomer outpost, and was left with a friend of the family. Soon, however, we find out the real reason Kern came aboard the Enterprise. He says "This is not a Klingon ship," to which Kern replies, "No, Commander, it is not-if this were a Klingon ship, I would have killed you for offering your suggestion." Riker makes a formal suggestion to Kern that he adapt slightly to Federation ways, just as Riker adapted to Klingon ways aboard the Pagh. Upon arriving, he immediately jumps on everyone for various inefficiencies and the like. The Enterprise takes on board one Commander Kern, Klingon Defense Force, as the return favor to Riker's visit aboard the Pagh. It's better now, so hopefully "Allegiance" will come out all right.) ![]() (By the way, the reason this is appearing on Saturday, rather than Thursday, is that the station showing the program on Sunday unexpectedly died last week. I'm not yet sure how high it's scoring, but it was certainly interesting. Heavy put together a list of the very best Worf-centric episodes, which fans can now binge on Netflix, Amazon, Paramount Plus, or other streaming platforms.WARNING: This posting contains spoilers for this week's TNG episode, "Sins of the Father", which you've all probably seen already anyway, since I'm late. :-( If you haven't, be warned. There are many lists of favorite “Star Trek” episodes out there. He recently got a vote of confidence from one of his fellow TNG castmates (Marina Sirtis) for a Worf show. Dorn portrayed Worf in 272 episodes of Trek and four feature films - the record for any “Star Trek” actor. Moore helped make Worf one of the focuses of “The Next Generation,” so much so that Michael Dorn wants to make a Worf-centric show. So, we had to fight somewhat to get the episode going.” And this was going to be the series’ 100th episode on top of it. This was the first time that Next Gen - that ‘Star Trek,’ really - had ever done a big war story like this. “He didn’t really see Worf as a primary character,” Moore said of Roddenberry in the interview. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Moore shared what happened behind the scenes. Moore, known by some as the “ Klingon Guy ” during his time on Trek, had to actually fight with creator Gene Roddenberry to get some of these episodes made. Some say that the Klingon stories told on “Deep Space Nine” were as good as - or better - than the ones on “The Next Generation.” ![]() Many fans cite the “Klingon” episodes as their favorite in the franchise. Moore, fans got to see what happened on a Klingon ship and in Klingon society. ![]()
