A tragic tale, told in the most overwrought way imaginable.
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.
