Charlie | he/they | 29 | canada queer, here, and ready to rumble (a mishmash of my various interests, but mostly star trek, bioware, and corvids)

i’ve talked about this before on my blog but i’m making this post so i can pin it/reblog it randomly. if you’re seeing this and thinking oh no it was posted too long ago? no. i want to perpetuate trek wars until i run out of content. i still welcome comments <3

the situation

every week, i participate in a cultural scifi exchange called ✨trek wars✨, where i (a star trek nerd) show my friend (a star wars nerd) one episode of the original series of star trek, and she shows me two episodes from one of the animated star wars series.

as of writing this, we’re halfway through season 3 of tos and more than halfway through rebels. we’ll watch the bad batch next, and we have some live action star wars tv to watch, but the amount of star trek content out there (tv- and movie-wise) vastly outstrips star wars content, so we won’t be able to watch whole star trek shows without running out of star wars content. (also we watch an episode a week so i think we might actually die of old age before finishing all of star trek. you do the math.) so!

the request

please give me your favourite star trek bottle episodes! anything where you don’t need to know the plot of the whole show or have intricate knowledge of the interpersonal dynamics to keep up. it could be an episode you think is so good it should’ve won awards, or an episode that is so bad that you think it should’ve won awards. (yes, we’ve already watched threshold <3) if you love it, i wanna hear about it!

i would love anything from tng, ds9, voy, tas, dis, or ent.

(no pic, snw, pro, or lds please! the first two i haven’t seen, and the last two are too referential to other star trek imo)

and if you read this whole thing thank you and i love you. live long and prosper 🖖🏻

The evolution of Worf's Sash

Worf's Baldric has changed a few times over the course of the series he's been on. Here's a quick overview

Season 1

Just straight off of TOS, Soft,cozy, pageanty. Don't know what the symbol might be but Kang and Kor wore the same symbol.

(seems sparklier) It doesn't denote their house, so who knows.

Worf's sash remains unchanged for the entirety of the first season.

Season 2 brings Worf's iconic baldric:

It's made out of bike chains.

sometimes it goes off center and you can see how it's attached:

the next major change comes in Generations

The Symbols on it have changed, I'm guessing so it pops more on screen. The bottom one is the Crest of the House of Mogh. He'll carry it over to DS9:

although I am noticing it is now upside down. but that is how it stays.

It looks like a bug. As it is set this way by the time First Contact rolls around it is also facing the same way

The whole saga of the second and final of the House of Mogh and Worf joining the House of Martok means the crest is replaced with one ripped from his sleeve.

And while Insurrection and Nemesis barely acknowledge and actively fight Worf's time on DS9 he still has his Martok family crest.

Now this would be the end, normally, but Star Trek Picard gave us this

New baldric, probably less heavy. The Crests have changed, somewhat. The Martok family crest's arrow is now much bigger than the claw, so something might have changed in the family? and the top symbol is also differently stylized.

Worf's primary sash is unique throughout Star Trek, we've never seen any other Klingon wear the bicycle chain.

this seems to be the common sash in the KDF.

Finally, a couple of ceremonial sashes:

What's this one on his Ceremonial/Dress sash? maybe a fancy version of the family crest? or both symbols together?

And then sad Worf sash from All Good Things....

Thank you for reading thru Sash Talk.

you gotta be able to say "die"

you gotta be able to say "suicide"

you gotta be able to talk about "sex"

they're uncomfortable topics, YEAH for SURE

because LIFE is uncomfortable. Death and suicide and sex and pain are straight up going to happen. not having words for the way it discomforts you doesn't make it more comfortable, it just makes you less able to reach out about it.

even more vital, you gotta be able to say words like "rape", "abuse", "queer" or "racist". cause we fought fucking hard to name those experiences. to identify "rape" as distinct from "sex" and "racism" as distinct from "acceptable behaviour" and "queer" as distinct from "invert"

like the function of communication is not to minimise immediate discomfort. we gotta be able to talk about stuff that's hard or sucks or causes difficult conversations.
