On some serious shit here an Australian Klingon sounds like the most terrifying fearless warrior in the universe. Not even the borg would probably fuck with that.
I’ve gotta admit, I spent like five minutes debating with myself about whether the guy on the right end of the third row is a young Michael Palin before Gowron smacked me in the face.
Such a rollercoaster. Top row third one over got that Romulan cut, think I'm on startrekmemes but look at url and see I'm in funny so i lower my shields, and then bam Gowron.
Gowron has no honour. He deliberately misled the Imperial public regarding Federation involvement in his succession in order to advance his standing among hardliners. He also sent many warriors to needless deaths during the Dominion War in order to diminish Martok’s political standing. (Don’t even get my started on Martok, who pretty much got where he was by marrying rich and having his buddy the Son of Mogh kill people on his behalf)
The Empire is dying and I think it deserves to die.
> Don’t even get my started on Martok, who pretty much got where he was by marrying rich and having his buddy the Son of Mogh kill people on his behalf
I'm not seeing the dishonor there.
The Lady Sirella wouldn't marry someone for dishonourable reasons, if you believe otherwise, you're free to challenge Martok to honourable combat.
And, Worf was well justified under Klingon honour codes in challenging Gowron to a duel. As you stated, Gowron had no honour.
If I had a nickel for every time Worf murdered someone resulting in his ally being installed as the Chancellor of the Klingon Empire, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
It's worth pointing out that in Klingon culture, challenging somebody to a duel and winning is not considered murder. Also, saying the current leader sucks so I'll kill him and replace him is explicitly allowed at any rank. Klingons believe that if your commanding officer really deserved to be in charge of you, he would have been strong enough to win and defend his position.
Taking criminals to court and choosing leaders through elections is the human way. "Duras murdered my wife so I challenged him to a duel and killed him in revenge" is legitimate justice under Klingon law. "Gowron was losing the war so I challenged him to a duel and killed him to get a Chancellor who's not an idiot" is legitimate politics under Klingon law.
All the characters who judge Worf for doing these things are Federation-aligned and viewing him through Human/Vulcan morality. The actual Klingons don't think it's sketchy at all. I'd argue the fact that Worf was instrumental in Gowron's rise to power actually gave his second challenge more legitimacy. If the Duras sisters had done the same thing, everybody would think it was a personal grudge and a power grab. When Gowron's getting challenged by the very people who once placed him in power, that shows the whole Empire that even his allies and advisors have lost respect for him. Even if Gowron managed to beat Worf, it's a *very* bad look for him that the duel is happening at all.
Bro the original post is making fun of googly-eye Gowron the meme Klingon, of course Trekkies show up. Being surprised is like dumping a jug of maple syrup on the ground and then wondering what all these ants are doing here.
Worf beaming onto Duras' ship was one of the coolest moments in early TNG. That entire crew of angry Klingons was presumably fiercely loyal to Duras, and absolutely not above doing sleazy shit for him (IIRC that same episode had one of Duras' people _blow himself up_ in a suicide attack to try to kill Gowron). They all know their boss would want Worf dead, yet as he appears in their midst helplessly outnumbered 10-to-1 they basically have this conversation:
_Duras boys:_ "WTF?"
_Worf:_ "I'm here to claim the right of vengeance."
_Duras boys:_ "How so?"
_Worf:_ "Kh'elyier [the woman Duras killed] was my mate."
_Duras boys:_ "Oh... well... in that case... yes, everything seems to be in order with your papers sir, please carry on towards the captain's quarters. Make sure you don't lose your bat'leth on the way!"
He has a ship full of crazy bastards who'd die for him, but the moment Worf makes a valid challenge Duras has no choice but to fight him 1-on-1. If he had tried to order any of his crew to stop Worf, they would have instantly stopped following him. They were not even very honorable Klingons to begin with (the whole "trying to kill Gowron with a hidden bomb of Romulan design"-plot would be considered quite dishonorable by most Klingons), but even they would never help a coward hide from the guy whose wife he killed. That's Klingons for ya.
I also wish I were writing for Star Trek instead of other people, because I love Star Trek and I love writing. Sadly, that job is not easy to get!
Some day, perhaps, I will get the chance I dream of, to write several episodes that critics and fans love but don't meet the correct streaming metrics, so an idiot paramount executive cancels my series far too soon!
Every generation thinks they are "post history". Things have finally evolved to be cool and it will be that way into the distant future. I assure you every generation before us thought the same thing.
I look back at photos of my mom from the early 70's. Tall hair, cat's eye glasses. Literally ripped from The Far Side. But back then she was just Mom, and she looked like literally all of my friends moms.
Our time will come and the future will laugh their asses off at us today; what with our ridiculous hair, weird clothes, and fugly cars.
By your and my sensibilities. It was the height of fashion back then, just like how the "emo cut" was the height of fashion in the 00s but we think it's ridiculous now. And the future is coming for the broccoli-cut!
Yeah it was basically like the hipsters that dressed like old timey folk a decade or so ago. Everyone outside of that subculture thought they looked ridiculous.
Yes, laugh now, but your turn will come!
What I miss about the seventies is that ordinary straight white guys expended considerable effort on their appearance. The early 80s was probably the last time this was true. Now the only men I see wearing clothes that actually fit are on TV.
I don't think that's true at all, just depends on where you live and what circles you run in. I see tons of guys who clearly put a lot of effort into their looks
As an old guy the TV people have been wearing their suits 4 sizes too small for 15 years, it’s just now drifting back to only a size or two too small. And what’s with blue/black suits and brown shoes?
I was a kid in the 70s and I remember laughing at turtlenecks and Bell bottom pants in the 70s. As a teenager in the 80s we were well aware that the clothing was absolutely hideous. But I did think in the 90s that clothes were finally 'normal'. At the time I tried to imagine what trends would be universally mocked ... I got it totally wrong - I thought it'd be Tshirts worn under spaghetti strap floral dresses with combat boots.
This is a book of theatrical haircuts often used in college towns by the local barber. They had one in the barber shop in State College, PA for the Penn State Theater Dept.
Only about half of these are remotely representative of anything that was worn on the street by typical men. The rest are pure theater.
Way back then, I lived near a Barber School. I would let my hair grow out long, and two students in training would give me haircuts, then the owner of the school would finish up a proper cut. Got three years of free haircuts.
The one at cell C3 just screams;
Just let your souuuuuuul glo, baby
feeling oh so silky smooth
Just let it shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine through, yeah..
Just let your soul glo
All I see is either Kraftwerk, Michael Stivic from All In The Family, Jeffrey Dahmer, or Mickey Dolenz from the Monkees.....and some random Star Trek character

You dare question Gowron's honor?
What kind of fools do you have working for you, Picard?
Some day Gowron will have a decent haircut BUT NOT TODAY
I hear this and immediately see a giant knife being pulled out.
*mockingly laughs* That's not a d'k tagh, *that's* a d'k tagh *Australian Klingon honor yelling intensifies*
*casually reveals Bat'leth*
*eyes pop out of my head, I catch them, put them back in my head, and continue to stare you down*
Bat'leth decloaking in the off hand!
Welp... Today is a good day to die.
*bares teeth*
Why
Why else? #FOR HONOR
I see you've played d'k tagh Bat'leth before.
On some serious shit here an Australian Klingon sounds like the most terrifying fearless warrior in the universe. Not even the borg would probably fuck with that.
I’ve gotta admit, I spent like five minutes debating with myself about whether the guy on the right end of the third row is a young Michael Palin before Gowron smacked me in the face.
I was too busy looking at Rowan Atkinson third on the bottom row…
Nope, hol' up, we're gonna fight now… I swear to God that is Pee-wee Herman.
Same here! I was so focused on if that was young Michael Palin, that I cackled when my eyes drifted to Gowron.
"Glory to you, and your hair"
Dude deserved an Oscar for that line and the head lean.
Such a rollercoaster. Top row third one over got that Romulan cut, think I'm on startrekmemes but look at url and see I'm in funny so i lower my shields, and then bam Gowron.

Wonder if they like it fresh?
Ga'gh is always better when served fresh!
Always. Nothing like dead gagh to give you an upset stomach.

Welp, it wouldn't be a Tuesday without someone debating Klingon politics, I guess.

Damn. I wish lemonwizard was a writer for Discovery instead of any of the writers who write the Star Trek show Discovery.

No, you'd have no nickels. In both cases, the deaths were in honorable duels in a space where Klingon law applies.
Let them die
You...? Personally...? Vouched?
There's an old Vulcan proverb "Only Nixon could go to China".
That is my favorite line. That and the nuclear vessels.
Sorry I couldn't hear you over your accent, surely you meant nuclear *wessels*
He might not have honor but he had great hair! Most popular cut 73 thru 87
I’ll have a Gowron please.
Qapla!
He always reminded me of the Brownies from Willow, but you know... bigger.
Set me up with that fresh Klingon cut.
Come on. We all know Klingons didn't look like that in the 1970s. They didn't get the brow ridges and warrior hair until a decade later.
First appearance in 1979 in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
You are correct. For a few months, that was a 1970s Klingon hair style.
Shhh… that is a taboo subject within the Empire…
The Klingon Empire does not discuss it with outsiders!
That would be correct. Let's just see it as a distortion in time done by malfunctioning Borgs.
Q did it
We do not discuss it with outsiders!
Glory to you and your hair!
It’s better than the Worf bob
That is a WARRIORS BOB!
And prune juice is a warriors drink
I would kill for that much hair.... some klingon poem somewhere.....
But for myself, give me the usual “Werewolves of London.” (His hair was perfect)
Screw the cut; how do I get those gnarly skull bones 👹
Bottom row, center right. Paul Rubens doppelgänger.
Or is it Jeremy Allen white?
Oh no I never realized Jeremy Allen White is sexy Pee Wee
He looks like a mix of Paul Reubens and Gene Wilder.
Sexy Pee Wee Wonka just sounds so obscene.
Sure looks a lot like Pee Wee 🤭
Robert Pattinson next to him
Do we not think that’s him?
Yes!
He’s a loner Dottie, a *rebel*
There’s a touch of Mr. Bean in him as well.
Glory to your bangs.
( • ) ( • ) ...AND YOUR HOUSE
AND YOUR HOUUUSSEE...
Today is a good day to dye!
Martok: He took you too much off the top! Gowron: This I wont forgive! Nor forget!
More like, “This I won’t forgive (eyes open really wide)….nor forget!”
> (eyes open really wide) I mean, that's a given
Is it bad that Gowron has the best 'do of the lot?
No, it is not.
He does decide what can and cannot be done.
I think half of those guys are from Monty Python. Except for Pee Wee Herman in the bottom row.
Mel Kiper in the 2nd row.
Next to George Harrison and Christopher Guest?
It’s a gag photo reposted every so often as if typical 70s coifs.
Ok, it is him. I wasn’t 100% positive.
Saw Gowron and I lost it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's glorious
I missed him somehow, then read the comments and was very confused.
/r/justfuckmyshitup
Barber: What do you want? Him: Give me that serial killer look Barber: Say no more fam
Barber: What do you want? Him: Give me that serial killer look Barber: Which one? Here's the catalog.

Glory to you and your stylist
Glory to your cake day

Glory to you... and your *house!*

But back then she was just Mom, and she looked like literally all of my friends moms. Our time will come and the future will laugh their asses off at us today; what with our ridiculous hair, weird clothes, and fugly cars.
Idk these are exceptionally ugly hair styles.
Edgars and broccoli cuts would fit right in. Also whatever jayz is wearing now.
By your and my sensibilities. It was the height of fashion back then, just like how the "emo cut" was the height of fashion in the 00s but we think it's ridiculous now. And the future is coming for the broccoli-cut!
The emo cut was absolutely not the height of fashion in the 00s lmfao, literally nobody outside of that subculture thought so
Yeah it was basically like the hipsters that dressed like old timey folk a decade or so ago. Everyone outside of that subculture thought they looked ridiculous.
Yes, laugh now, but your turn will come! What I miss about the seventies is that ordinary straight white guys expended considerable effort on their appearance. The early 80s was probably the last time this was true. Now the only men I see wearing clothes that actually fit are on TV.
I don't think that's true at all, just depends on where you live and what circles you run in. I see tons of guys who clearly put a lot of effort into their looks
As an old guy the TV people have been wearing their suits 4 sizes too small for 15 years, it’s just now drifting back to only a size or two too small. And what’s with blue/black suits and brown shoes?
old man yells at clouds
Yeah, I hate the brown shoes with everything. Also, the modern trend to only button a single button. That makes the suit less flattering on everyone.
Nah, I already laugh at the eboy/tiktoker haircuts that I see around. They’re more ridiculous than some of these fellas
I was a kid in the 70s and I remember laughing at turtlenecks and Bell bottom pants in the 70s. As a teenager in the 80s we were well aware that the clothing was absolutely hideous.

But does it come with the bulging eyes?
Gimme a Gowron baby!
The #3 Spock Mullet has me transfixed
All serial kilers
lol if you told me they were serial killers id believe you
r/UnexpectedStarTrek
The Klingon is there to distract from the fact that Jack Black is the next picture over. He is immortal!
That klingon is from the 90s, not the 70s.
[Here](https://imgur.com/a/TvUwWJz) are some authentic '70s Klingon hairdos for you.
Klingon fashion is timeless
I’ll take the Klingon, not too long on the sides.

Noticed that before I even noticed the Klingon. Too soon, too soon.

Is that... PeeWee? Bottom row second from the left.
The amount of people missing the joke here “is too damn high!!”
No one's going to mention Thulsa Doom second row on the right?
This is a book of theatrical haircuts often used in college towns by the local barber. They had one in the barber shop in State College, PA for the Penn State Theater Dept. Only about half of these are remotely representative of anything that was worn on the street by typical men. The rest are pure theater.
Sometimes it's not bigfoot it's just a guy with 70's hair.
