Where does "Dorf" come from? Is it supposed to be funny?
Only if you've been there.
Worf faces his greatest challange yet... Being a dad. Good stuff with that. The other plot is meh. C+ for me, thanks as always 🖖
The other plot was only there to serve to put Alexander in danger in the end, so yeah a very subpar b plot. B plots that are only there to cause such a specific thing for the A plot are usually pretty bad. It would have been better if they just focused on worf and Alexander and have some like medical condition happen, so worf couldn’t use strength to fight it.
Episodes like this are why the term "Dorf" is needed. I generally prefer character stuff but... woof
Worst dad ever award. Love Worf but he’s a pretty awful father.
A somewhat common take, but not one I really agree with. He's an inexperienced father, surely, and as we do throughout the series see a lot of the moments when he makes mistakes, but that is for the same reason that we see all the episodes where the Enterprise almost blows up or something when the reality is that it's supposed to be a lot more "dull" most of the time. We only see the interesting stuff precisely because that's what makes for a good episode. Similarly, when we do see Worf and Alexander, it's often to try to make an interesting episode out of his inexperience and missteps. The bigger thing is that - and I hope this isn't really a spoiler to say - throughout TNG we see Alexander growing from what he is in this episode into a very upstanding kid, which means that obviously all the stuff Worf does the 99% of the time his parenting isn't being featured in an episode must be pretty good.
Skeletor needed a better weapon
