I think Worf's obsession with honor and death makes him all too ready to avoid really thinking a problem through or understanding other points of view. And yet I love Worf! I'm having trouble understanding just why I love Worf so much, given that there's so much I find problematic about Klingon culture, and of course he's devoted to Klingon culture.<br /><br />I'm just barely bisexual -- I'm mostly a lesbian -- and yet I do find Michael Dorn sexy. I guess he -- like Spock -- is just so sexy that even *I* can feel it. :-)<br /><br />Even though Patrick Stewart is an acting god, I'm always glad when we get a Worf or Data episode; the non-human characters are just more interesting to me.Coryleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961220703672521166noreply@blogger.com
