Maybe he was preparing for 420, when he gets stoned in full Worf make up in the privacy of his own home.

How come? Macabre, sure, but why distasteful?DS9 S6E22: “Valiant”
At one time I probably disagreed with this notion. But this might be one of the most distasteful and macabre, and therefore one of the worst episodes in Star Trek. Made even worse by how terrible the acting is.
Did they do much with that idea, though? They always seemed to have enough resources, unless the episode revolved around their lack of resources.I'm doing a full VOY watch-through for the first time and just finished the Scorpion two-parter (aka the one that introduces Seven of Nine). This show takes a lot of shit, and it has some really bad episodes and dud characters. But it can be really terrifying in a way no other Trek really manages. This is a smaller crew than the Enterprise, alone in a section of space where everyone, everywhere is constantly out for their heads.
People like to hate on nuTrek for being grimdark, but DS9 episodes like these are way worse, IMO. A whole group of essentially children are murdered after uncharacteristically being gigantic dipshits. And what's the purpose? The moral of the story here? Ambition is bad? Smart people are stupid? Why are all of these Starfleet cadets just have zero critical thinking skills? Why is Nog being called a Lt Commander when he's only got Lt Jr Grade pips? It's all made even worse by how bad the acting and writing is in the episode too. It's just no bueno.How come? Macabre, sure, but why distasteful?
Nah, I get it. The TNG writers were just really obsessed with English Language Literature. DS9 they just really like the Rat Pack. Voyager they're just really into Classic Cinema/Americana.The writers are really all in on Fontaine to a degree that is baffling.
The stuff about Travis being overly formal all the time I... kinda like? I get where you're coming from though. But the broader arc of the show, if you haven't picked up on it yet, is the NX-01/Archer going from being glorified astronauts and slowly transforming over time into serious business Starfleet that your average Star Trek fan would find more recognizable and be comfortable with.Travis is really just...like, the most unfortunate character.
Truth. Jadzia never quite clicked for me but their romance makes zero sense to me.Holy shit is DS9-Worf a terrible person
