I love Worf, but I do think the writers often forgot that he grew up on a human farming planet and later in Russia. The dude would have probably seen at least one door latch in that time and, as another example, would probably know what kind of behavior to expect from a house cat. But having him be the “goofy alien who doesn’t get it” was obviously useful for writing gags.
In Minsk. That's Belarus. But when TNG debuted, it was still the Soviet Union. And apparently there's also a city named Leningrad in the 23rd century, lol.
Maybe the writers back then were much more optimistic of what Russia could be like in 300 years, than most people _today_ would presume they could like in 300 years.
@h8GWBî, an optimistic view would envision the city being renamed. You wouldn't probably think an alternate timeline with a different ending of World War II were optimistic if, at the latest, some time after winning the war or reaching a permanent armistice Germany didn't change all those names like Adolf-Hitler-Straße and Adolf-Hitler-Platz (and they even had plans for Adolf-Hitler-Stadt, a futuristic city in occupied Poland showcasing the Führer's glory and German superiority).
Worf hates doors, and by extension Romulans, since the Romulan attack on Khitomer caused all the doors to lock. Which somehow caused the death of his parents. Maybe they suffocated or something, I dunno.
Or it's just like the Hotel California, you can check In but never check Out. 😂 But in all seriousness, maybe the other side of it (was/has) "turned" into a wall so they've done a "walk around the merry-go-round" and ended where they've entered (or tried to exit).
How has no one yet done a compilation of Geordie getting pissed at the computer after it fails to recognise one of his imprecisely worded questions? The world needs this
And on the next contraction, Keiko told everybody in 10 forward that Worf's parents were never married! I know I kind of get that one from Bill Cosby Himself, the part where Bill and Camille are having their first child.
"That revolving door is deceptive " " No Worf , you are supposed to step out, not ride in circles". " Commander Riker, I was going to estimate how many times the Leiutenant was going to keep the circling up." Riker and Data getting a kick out of Worf's revolving door problem.
You gotta love how Worf's major defining trait is his physical strength and Data's just over here flexing on him while he's designing complex circuitry in his head.
That piece of debris was just a little tiny bit too heavy for both Worf and that Romulan until Riker came to help. I also love how Wesley is somehow programming the door to close on Worf harder and harder by tapping on the keypad.
LMAO I like the idea that Worf was yelling at the door on the Yamato for being impossible to open, instead of it being about the two Rikers and two ships.
I’ve always loved how intricate of a character Worf is and how his hatred for the Romulans was merely a projection of how he felt toward doors! Amazing.
Yeah TNG was full of character tropes that didn't make a lot of sense. Most of the planets they visit have people at earlier tech levels, many of his human crew mates like playing in 20th century holodeck programs, and Worf himself grew up on Khitomer, and Gault (both colony worlds). Plus in Klingon culture they love tradition and strength and would probably be contemptuous of pointless technology like automatic doors in their houses. It's like Data failing to assimilate human metaphor and clichés even after a decade on the Enterprise.
@@temparalflux914 According to the wiki his human father only took him to Earth for a holiday. It's unclear how long that was. I actually checked that because I thought he was raised on Earth too.
The one I find most amusing is when Wesley is in the Jeffrey's tube trying to shut the door on Worf, he's tapping more buttons furiously, as if that will make the automated doors "shut harder"... It reminds me of TV/movie scenes were a computer hacker can "hack better" because they type faster, or press the keys REALLY hard! ^_^
nah that's like saying Doomsday is Superman's greatest enemy, yeah he killed Superman but that's all he's really known for it doesn't compare to Lex Luthor or Brainiac's long careers of making Superman's life a living hell. and likewise, Barrel cannot compare to the years long rivalry between Worf and Door.
Baldur's Gate was a great game but man, trying to get all six party members from one edge of the map to the opposite edge was impossible in one go even in a straight line.
@@Retr0Whiskey There was a documentary on the series, all the doors on set were manually toggled, not on a timer or a sensor. They would often walk into the doors when they didn't open at the particular time, especially Worf for some reason.
Next thing they'll be telling us that in the early 21st century, many people (the educated ones especially) will be confused about whether women have vaginas, and whether being fat is unhealthy; advocate money-printing their way out of high inflation, and investing billions in electricity generation methods that barely produce the energy needed to implement them; happily demoralise the
We all know that the more technologically advanced, evolved, enlightened, and godlike a civilization becomes ... the more likely they are to wear old togas, eat muck, and live in stone buildings with dirt floors.
You know. Could test the Fandom, if the game Star Trek Online. Had a moment in a story with Worf and for some reason when he tried to walk out of a room the door refused to open. Just annoys him greatly. Even after all these years. Doors STILL troll the old Klingon. An enemy that stands firm against any Klingon Warrior!
Considering the amount of bloopers concerning doors, I'm a bit dissapointed there was not one jokey call to La Forge in Engineering to send a door repair team over. Again.
"Locked." "Stuck." "Jammed." "Won't budge." Like a video game character commenting on all the inaccessible doors you come across in an open map with linear plot progression.
I hear "Q" saying. "Warf, Still struggling up the evolutionary ladder? You'll have to excuse Warf here, he has only just discovered opposable thumbs" LOL
In the latest _Star Trek_ shows, they have 21st century door closing mechanisms, so reopening the door isn't much of a struggle. Worf was just in the wrong shows.
Ive watched TNG through a few times...and every time im shocked by the number of times.Worf gets thwarted or thrown around like a rag doll...yet i still have this idea of him being unstoppable
I remember the TOS Bloopers when (mostly) William shatner got clobbered when he walked into a door on the Enterprise Set that the grips forgot to open. When would think that on the modern sets they could use the actuators for grocery store doors, just making sure the ones that are not in use don't arbitrarily open and close when the actors walk down a corridor of the set.
The scene where Worf and the Romulan are trying to seal the door by moving the metal bulkhead gets me every time. Rolumans are way stronger than Klingons and the Average Klingon is generally stronger than the average Human, yet Riker comes along and barely has to heave.😄
Actually no they're not; they are stronger than humans but they aren't nearly as strong as their cousins the Vulcans. Romulus apparently has less gravity than Vulcan which explains the disparity, but Qo'nos surface gravity if memory serves is something like 1.25g, so the klingons evolved in a pretty heavy gravity for a species of their height,as well as evolving stupidly redundant organs and tissues due to Qo'nos essentially being a death world.
@@Shinzon23 Vulcans, who are genetically very similar to Romulans, are 5 times as strong as humans. You don't get 5 times as strong as humans from 40% more gravity, so no, that is an AWEFUL explanation. Sure, if it's canon that they are not as strong as Vulcans or as strong as humans then fine. Honestly, I just chop it up to the writers just kinda going with the flow and not caring much about consistency, then the online community sort of filling in the blanks. Anyway, whatever, Romulans are as strong as a Klingon in this clip, and the human appears stronger I guess, I dunno.
I think this and other unusual capabilities of Riker's were handwaved away in a novel by saying he had a couple Augment ancestors who hid away in Alaska after they lost.
This funny compilation makes me appreciate Worf's organic hairstyle evolution! He looks better and more confident with every progressive length, and I'm so glad that production realized early that medium brown hair was much better on him than black.
@@wordlesslfiddling maybe, but I know for sure that these ones don't coo like their K-5 cousins, but rather hiss at the mere presence of Klingons, especially our favorite one!
Damn it now I wanna watch TNG and thats means breaking out the bluray set, with the horrible disc packaging since every company in existence thinks their own streaming platform is a good idea. They kinda forgot Netflix and Hulu took off cause ALL the shit was in 1-2 places, TOPS
@@mikeonthecomputer No, the whole series packaging for bluray is straight trash, too much risk to damage the discs, discs overlap so if one is loose the disc layered over is applies pressure as it slips, grinding it into the disc holder, that can scratch shit, the pages for the discs aren't even fully backed so if you struggle to get a disc out you can accidentally scratch the disc behind it, handling it in one hand to take a disc out is fuck all impossible and it basically requires the use of a surface to set it down, which worked fine for the Dexter set but this and Star Trek TOS 50th set (idk about regular full series packaging for that) the pages aren't even connected to the spines of the cases, and they shift awkwardly when you're going through things. It's just very unwieldy and impractical and I hate, _HATE_ that both sets didn't come with a digital code, like it's bad enough I loose bonus features if a disc gets damaged, but with no digital I'd lose episodes too
