Okay I just finished watching A Fistful of Datas and is it just me or is Worf the Worst.Father.Ever.
Now his son has hardly spent any time with him since he saw his mother's bloody corps a couple years ago and it's clear he is desperate for any kind of attention from his father. Yet Worf has to be ordered by Picard to spend any time with him and when he does he seems to react to Alexander with a mixture of contempt and barely concealed rage and then he refuses to enter into the spirit of the program and does his best to make his son feel foolish for watching it. He makes it pretty clear he would rather be anywhere else then spending time with him. He acts like he is Picard with Weasly but the big difference is that Alexander is much younger,his son,and has had a tramatic life. I have to say in this episode and the one Alexander comes on board where Worf also refuses to spend time with him unless ordered by Picard Worf comes off as the most uncaring father you could have. The only thing he has really done is force the kid to look at his mother's freshly murdered corps,is it any wonder this kid had issues when he turned up on DS9.
What was wrong with Worf in these episode,they really don't paint him in a good light.
I have to wonder why the writers added Alexander to the cast any way. I mean where they trying to give us a reason to hate worf?
