    TNG in particular did a great job of stretching the characters by building them up to a definitive version and then showing us, in one way or another, a variant or situation that completely shatters that image. Data and Lore. Alternate Riker. Broken Picard. Troi and Lwaxana. Worf and also Worf but later.

      Completely agree. Really strikes something inside to see them so vulnerable and changed.

      That being said… the sound that came out of my mouth when I read “Worf and also Worf” can only be described as a guffaw.

        I was going to say Worf and Alexander but then I realized that it’s really Worf becoming a dad that shows us the transformed Worf.
