What's The Work?[]
Star Trek The Next Generation is the second tv series in the Star Trek Franchise. It is set roughly around a hundred years after the original and follows a crew of starfleet officers led by Captain Jean Luc Picard as they seek out new worlds and civilisations.
Who is He?[]
Worf is the first klingon to join Starfleet. He was raised by humans after his family was killed in a Romulan attack. While he is rough around the edges he is also brave, selfless and loyal. He later joins the crew of Deep Space Nine where he falls in love with Jadzia Dax.

- Rescued Riker and Troi from the Shrike.

What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He is extremely arrogant, stubborn and at times downright rude.
- He is very bigoted towards Romulans. He once refused to do a transfusion to save a Romulan which resulted in their death.
- Despite loving him he was a flawed parent to Alexander, sending him away several times, making him feel unwanted and unloved.
- While well-intentioned erasing Kurn's memory can be seen as morally questionable as he did so without his consent.
- There are 2 episodes where he sides with the antagonist. In "The Drumhead" he justified Satie's authoritarian tactics and helped her implement them. In "Let He who is without sin" he assisted the New Essentalists Movement in sabotaging Risa's Weather Control System. While he regretted it both times this shows he isn't incorruptible.
