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.
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.
Yeah. I’m a huge Worf fan (he is and always has been my favourite Trek character) but that scene does not work for me at all. He doesn’t even sound like Worf here. Riker too sounds totally wooden at the beginning. Not sure if it’s the missing post-production but everything about this scene feels off. It’s a good thing this scene didn’t make the final cut.
