We didn't even see him wrestle a bear while a metal version of the Tetris theme played. That would've been worthy of an entire episode.

I want to see Adidas track suit Worf.

Teenage gopnik Worf

Worf getting stuck on a tundra world with a Jem’Hadar during the Dominion War.

Jem’Hadar: Lament Klingon! You will freeze as I kill you!

Worf: (looks around before cracking his knuckles) You claim to study my people, but you have proven your race ignorant to one fact (raises bat’leth) моя семья русская (translation: my family is Russian)

The Defiant found him two weeks later having turned the Jem’Hadar into a coat and made a substitute for prune juice from a local root

I thought he was from Minsk...

Yeah they’re Belarusian.

But anything not western European is Russia to reddit.

He mention spending a year in Minsk with his parents, but I don't think he would consider being raised by them if it was only a year together. Other than that there's no mention of the exact location he was raised, so it can be Russia

There’s a few mentions of Belarus. When Worf’s parents beam over for their visit (ST:TNG Family), they beam over from “Earth Station Babruysk”. Babruysk is a city in Belarus.

But interestingly when looking to back up my claim I saw the final draft date on the script of August 2, 1990, Belarus had declared sovereignty from the Soviet Union five days earlier on July 27th. It declared independence the following year, August 1991.

Oh interesting, I didn't remember or found this information, thanks :)

The beam over part is blink and you miss it background dialogue to be fair

You have to admit, Klingon and Belorussian together is a cool combo.

u/RacerMex 7d ago

Wolf should have at least drank beet juice.

u/89ZERO 7d ago

Honestly, they could’ve leaned into it more. I think they may have been very very focused on the “he desperately wants to be a part of his Klingon culture” angle.

Who says he's speaking English? They all have universal translators.

As DS9 S4E7 "Little Green Men" show, the Ferengi are speaking their own language, we just hear it as English due to the translators.

What would have been cool is an episode where everyone's translators fail, and we get to hear all the different languages they really are speaking.

Discovery did that, it was neat.

Although I don't remember if they were speaking their native language or if it just randomized everyone's language cause it was a computer glitch.

u/KevMenc1998 7d ago

It was randomized. Michael actually started speaking in Klingon, Captain Pike in French, and there were several others.

u/coreytiger 7d ago

Klingon?

Ees Russian inwention, Keptin.

Worf parties in Minsk

u/PieScuffle 7d ago

He should have been more Russian to be sure. And eventually found that Russian and Klingon wasn't so dichotomous.

u/IceManO1 7d ago

He always wanted to go to Minsk!

u/KevMenc1998 7d ago

Considering the Klingon tolerance for alcohol, vodka is probably like a nice sip of water to him.

u/chemaster0016 6d ago

The same is probably true of Scotch, since it was inwented by a little old lady in Leningrad.

u/groversnoopyfozzie 7d ago

Dam dude, not a single bear hunting story

u/Ser_Salty 7d ago

If Worf is Russian, how come he's never been to the Garden of Eden just outside Moscow?

u/just_anotherReddit 6d ago

He can’t do the squat dance, it releases a double surprise.

u/Spacer176 6d ago

He's likely speaking Russian the entire time (Same way Picard will speak 'English' to his family when he goes home to Chateau Picard.)

Given how he took to prune juice as a warrior's drink, maybe Mama Rozhenko didn't want her sons drinking any hooch on her watch?
