Worf

Was thinking about the episode The Drumhead (TNG S4 E21), where Worf is determined to believe Simon Tarses is guilty of conspiracy because he exercises his right to refuse to answer questions about his Romulan heritage to an inquiry. His specific words were '...if a man were not afraid of the truth, he would answer.' Do we all appreciate the depth of Worf's hypocrisy here? At this point he was actively participating in a lie about his father's dishonour, in order to protect the Klingons from political turmoil. Not to mention, if anyone is an example of the animosity a person with Romulan blood would face, it's Worf. He should be ashamed of how blindly he assume Tarses must be guilty.

I got this ad while watching the new LD episodes…

Which are all the PIC episodes with legacy characters in them? (Other than picard.)

Kahless Shran was born on Andoria to Starfleet Lt. Zamora while on leave in 2331. Her father was Thy’lek Shran who was a descendant of the famous Captain Shran. He was a scientist who went to Quo’noS on an archaeological expedition along other Starfleet officers to a newly discovered religious shrine. A group of Klingon clerics started a religious order a few hundred years after the death of Emperor Kahless and they preserved his skull in some kind of polymer sphere that they kept on an alter. 

Dr. Thy’lek used a Federation transporter to beam the sacred globe which the skull of Kahless was sealed inside of to the Klingon Council building. He, however, doubled the pattern of the globe and kept one for himself on his shuttle. He returned home where he had a small collection Lyssarian Desert Larvae and he extracted DNA from the globe. Dr. Thy’lek had to liquify the bone fragments from Kahless’ skull so that he could inject into one of the Lyssarian Desert larvae. A full grown adult living Kahless became close to Zamora, Dr. Thy’lek’s daughter, three days later.

Emperor Kahless won Zamora’s heart by telling her spell-binding tales from ancient Klingon times in the past. The two became lovers against her father’s wishes because Thy’lek never told Zamora that Kahless was a genetic duplicate that would only live for a week.

Zamora was becoming sick so she went to a physician who told her that she was pregnant. She came home to tell Kahless the good news when her father stopped her. Dr. Thy’lek told his daughter that Kahless died then showed her the body and then told her about the Lyssarian Desert larvae. Zamora named her son Kahless after his father then quit Starfleet for a while to raise him on Andoria.

2345 (14 years later)

Zamora re-enlisted Starfleet at her previous rank of lieutenant and she was assigned to the USS Max Liebermann. Kahless moved with her and he lived on the Max Liebermann for four years until he moved back to Andoria with his grandfather, Dr. Thy’lek. He learned how to be a warrior in the local Andoria military. He was always curious about his Klingon heritage so he developed a Klingon cultural holoprogram to teach him how to be like his father.

Kahless Shran transferred to Starfleet in 2365 at the rank of lieutenant Commander because he was able to maintain his rank from the Andorian military with special dispensation. He was being taken by the USS Enterprise to his new assignment as Chief Tactical and Security Officer on the USS Los Angeles.

He met Worf who immediately recognized his resemblance to Emperor Kahless.

Would anyone like to see Laris return? I think it'd be great to see her again. And with Picard's adventures and mishaps now finished, I'd like to hear her say how he's doing or what came of him after season 3 of Picard finished last week. It'd be great to introduce herself to Jack, and maybe even the rest of The Next Generation crew if they're to be seen again, as Matalas himself once described.

In trying not to spoil anything, how things between Jean-Luc and Beverly have become are definitely a jaw-dropper. Otherwise, I can't wait to eventually see the entire T.N.G. crew reunite and work alongside both Seven of Nine and Raffi.

Anyone else feeling similarly? Now that we're getting the whole The Next Generation crew back on board, it's absolutely gonna be spectacular! And the new villain they're facing is just insane, someone that one just loves to hate.
