Great as the main characters Star Trek: The Next Generation They were, the supporting characters often stole the show. This includes Alexander, the only Klingon ancestor in Starfleet. Later in STar Trek: Deep Space NineBut that show effectively destroyed this wonderful supporting character as we saw that Alexander had nothing more than knocking his father Worf off.
Alexander became Wharf
If you look after a while Star Trek: The Next GenerationYou may need a brief summary of the relationship (family and otherwise) between Alexander and Worf. Although he served in Starfleet, Worf He was devoted to preserving the Klingon way of life and tried to raise his son the same way. Unfortunately, Alexander is one-quarter human, and between genetic inheritance and growing up on a ship full of humans, he grew up doing anything. But Klingon. Alexander appeared later Deep space nineBut he became a Klingon soldier (albeit a clumsy one).
There are many reasons. Star Trek Fans didn't like what happened to Alexander. Deep space nineIncluding how he was now nothing more than a busy punchline and still had a terrible relationship with Worf. However, my problem with this storyline is very simple. Alexander must. Absolutely He became a Klingon soldier because the writers were desperate to develop a character other than a badass version of his father.
Desperate Klingon.
For this Star Trek fan, Alexander's evolution (sort of alienated) into a Worf clone is especially disappointing because we get to see Klingons who aren't warriors. Sure, there's the occasional scientist here and there, but mostly we see warriors who want nothing more than to die with honor. Considering that something as vast as the Klingon Empire would require countless other citizens (farmers, engineers, diplomats, and scribes) that we rarely see, Alexander would do well to explore one of these options.
More appropriately, Star Trek: The Next Generation He spent a lot of time to prove that it was Alexander completely Different from Worf. Honestly, the whole arc was leading up to him being perhaps the most unique Klingon we've ever seen. By the time DS9 ended, however, he was just another soldier steeped in his race's warrior culture.
Also, if Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Had Alexander explored another path, he could have challenged Worf's beliefs about the Klingon way of life in some rewarding ways. The authors find some great stories in the inherent tension between Worf's warrior heritage and the Federation's hippie ethos, and in TNGWe see that stress is reflected in his relationship with his son. But in DS9, the family drama is replaced by Alexander trying to follow in Worf's footsteps, and a boy chasing his father's approval may become more realistic for many viewers watching at home. rex Damaged capacity.
could be. Star Trek: Deep Space NineThe writers couldn't think of any other way to bring Alexander back...surely, it took a lot of creative effort (including breaking the peace between Clinton and the Federation) to bring Worf back in a compelling way. Speaking as a fan, though, I'd rather not see this amazing supporting character come back. Also, the kid was stuck with Worf like a father... that was a lifetime punishment, and sticking him on top of it with horrible behavior and forgettable arcs seemed cruel and unusual.
