Security warning! This article contains spoilers For Season 3, Episode 3 of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds".

The clingons have gone through some interesting repetitions over the years in the Star Trek franchise, but they have always been deep ritualist people with a strong sense of duty. Almost nothing is important to Klingon than their honor, which means that they will sometimes make decisions that look confusing to those of other cultures. In the season 3 "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" episode "Shuttle to Cefri", Captain Christopher Pique (Anson Mont) receives a first -hand lesson in Klingon's cultural norms When warrior Klingon follows Dr. M'benga (Babes Olusanmokun) in order to seek battle to death. See, this Warrior Clingon (Christine Horn) is Dakara's daughter, the butcher of J'gal (Robert Wisdom), who later became Klingon's ambassador, and Menga killed him in Season 2 episode "Under the War Got". Since nurse Capel (Ess Bush) testified to be self -defense, Pique chose not to follow the issue further.

Since Dakrah embarrassed his family, his daughter was killed and returned to their family's honor, but Menga took it from her. Therefore, according to Klingon's rules, she must fight Menga to regain her honor and honor of House Raul. That's where things get really interesting, and Pique's lesson in Clingon's cosmology really goes to a session.

Mbanga agrees to the fight, but ends up to beat her and let her live, upsetting her even more. By being allowed to live while defeated, she is doubled without honor. So, when she seems to be in the wake of space zombies when she seems to be in the direction, so that Pique and Mbanga could escape. Pique asks Mbanga why she did so, and the doctor explains that the work will restore her honor. "But no one will know," Pique said, yet a little lost. Mbanga points out that she will know, and he will know, and he gives a kind of blessing, saying that "he can welcome you to a hundred-in-core".

Klingons believe in the afterlife, with at least two places their spirit can go after they died on the death plane. Sto-vo-kor (or SUTOVOVATE IN THE CORRECTING KLONGONAlthough there are multiple "official" spellings) is the country of the most honorable dead, very similar to Valhala in Norwegian mythsWhere did the warriors go if they died in battle or while they did a heroic work. There is also a greater, the equivalent of clingon of hell, where the disadvantaged dead are spoiled through the waters inhabited by a terrible monster before being trapped together in a miserable land for eternity. With sacrificing himself to ensure that Mbenga and Pike are approaching security, the Clingon warrior also hopes to secure a place in a hundred-core with legend heroes.

Kilingons are a warrior culture above all, and they should be ready to sacrifice in battle and fight the huge coefficients. The promise of a hundred-in-core is a big part of what helps them keep them so fearless before the battle (except for that time The General character of JG Herzler, General Marttka He completely lost his cool when he was potentially facing Ememhadar again on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but who could really blame him?). The clingons are still much more than the antagonistic force in "Strange New Worlds" than they are in shows like "Star Trek: The Next Generation" or "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" following the peace deal between the Knangons and the Federation called Khitomer Accords (the federation called Khitomer Accords (Khitomer Accords "(Signed in the movie "Star Trek VI: The Land of Land"). Although they are scared and sometimes completely hated, it is nice to see that they receive proper treatment.

Not only that, but this episode gives a great moment to the character of Mbanga, who really reveals his violent side of Pique for the first time, but also shows the deep respect he has for his greatest enemies. Mbanga himself is a kind of man worthy of a hundred-in-core, especially since killing many clingons is by no means an agreement. Not to be Klingon is OK, too, because the science officer "Deep Space Space Nine", Jajja Dax (Terry Farrell), is allegedly among the great heroes, at least according to The legendary warrior clingon coron (Johnon Kolikos), so who knows? Maybe Mbanga will be welcomed by Kahes (the biggest clingon hero of all) when he dies one day. There are worse possible existential destinies for Starfleet officer, that's for sure!
