Worf appreciation post
This was supposed to the TNG theme, but they changed it for the one we know all by heart.

I don’t think I’d ever heard the second half of this (the first half was used for the opening credits for the first couple seasons.) It’s definitely got a Western vibe, and now I’m picturing everyone galloping around on horses (a la Fistful of Datas, but plus Picard in a cowboy hat, and Sparks McGee of course.)
Do you ever watch reruns of yourself as Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation?
"If I’m flicking channels and there we are on the Enterprise, I try to identify what we’re doing and nearly always fail, because there were 178 episodes. If something catches my attention, it’s because I want to see my friends, my colleagues, and enjoy what they’re doing. It’s like saying hello to them." (x)
Adorable.
If you’re in the US and have any remote desire to (re)watch Star Trek: The Next Generation, there are now officially no excuses for not doing so. Join us in the #TNGwatch tag.

Poor Worf.
Here in the US, there’s a recent document giving recommendations for teaching science that’s called the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS.) Since I do some STEM education research, I’ve had to read a lot about the NGSS – so much so that it doesn’t usually make me think of Star Trek: The Next Generation anymore. However, the first page of this article got me, probably because the background image looks like it came straight from the Nexus.

Had TNG on in the background and realized that I wish Picard were my boss, so just gonna praise his management skills for a moment. This is “Reightful Heir.” Worf misses a shift because he’s having an existential crisis and is in his quarters trying to summon Kahless. He’s struggling with personal issues of identity and purpose, as we all do. So, what his manager, Picard, do? Well, first he reprimands Worf for missing his shift. But then, he basically asks Worf what he can do to help. A+ management. This is how a boss should be.
Act Three, Scene 37: Picard and Wesley are trapped in a cavern on a distant planet. Picard tells Wesley that for a moment, he saw Jack Crusher’s face on the young ensign as he fought to keep Picard alive - and he starts to ramble about Jack’s “senseless death”, which “should have happened at night, not on a bright, cloudless afternoon”.
J. Crush backstory as spoken by a delirious Picard? I want to see this.
Sometimes I remember that this exists, and can’t stop smiling.
Worf takes one for the team.
Do you think I have a type or nah?
