      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.
