This was a little shower thought I had recently: Did Worf get a lot of offers from different starships after the Enterprise-D was destroyed? He said he was planning on resigning before joining DS9's crew, but as Chief of Security on the flagship, would an officer with a resume like his be in high demand, Dominion War or not?

I'm sure he did and I'm also sure he had an amazing recommendation letter from Picard that could have sent him to any ship he had wanted to serve.

Like, you had to be truly good to be there on the Enterprise-D. Iicr, Beverly was head of starfleet medical during his absence. That's not a small job. If all of them were top notch, the main officers were particularly good and they could have had any career they wanted.

Honestly? I doubt it.

Worf was constantly getting his ass beat, placing his Klingon heritage ahead of his starfleet duties, and being shut down by Picard on the bridge. The number of marks on his record by the end of his stay on the Enterprise must've been insane.

He fucking killed a foreign diplomat in an honor duel in the middle of his captain deliberating a very tense political spat that would decide the next leader of the largest empire in the quadrant.

I'm sure Picard gave him a glowing review, but any other captain probably would've seen Worf as a massive risk despite his accomplishments. A loose cannon, basically. Dude had a lot of baggage.

I honestly don't remember what the DC changed

Here's an autistic breakdown comparing the Theatrical release vs the Director's Cut: https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=2400 (or at least the DVD version, Not sure if there were any further changes for the 4k Bluray re-release).

In short, many relatively small bits of dialog and character actions. Not all director's cuts improve a movie, but I agree with @Samuel Fuller that this one fixes a lot of the awkward transitions and pacing issues from the original release (which was rushed and slightly hacked together due to delays with the VFX). The story flows better and character actions make more sense in context with the additions.

There's an even longer version that was cobbled together for the network TV broadcast in the early 80's, but I've never seen of dug into that one to know what the differences were.

By the end of DS9 I always ended up thinking the Bajorans had it coming. What an irritating group of people.

Kira even at the end was still seething about her mother being a collaborator even after seeing first hand how she was forced into it and it enabled Kira to live. What a bitch,

As I've been going through DS9 recently, it hit me: Bajorans are basically space Jews combined with space jeets. Less in the greedy sense for the former (that's Ferengi, obviously), but more in the strict religious dogma that they use to justify everything they do even when it's actively harmful or nonsensical, to the point they'll get offended if you call out their behavior because something something the Prophets. And when I got to the episode where I learned they had a strict caste system like jeets before the occupation, so strict that apparently you could just execute anyone who wasn't doing what their caste mandated, my opinion of them soured even further.

It's honestly no wonder I find myself hating them more and more. Cardassia really did nothing wrong.

It kind of was Eugene WESLEY Roddenberry's fault. And subsequent to TNG, it seemed like Wil had chilled out and was in on the joke. He actually SEEMED for a while like he was actually an okay dude personally. It wasn't until he totally woked out that he started seeming like an absolute piece of shit.

Every Wil Wheaton story is like "Lawrence Tierney was mean to me." :'(

He’s like a Pokémon which evolved based on whatever social media platform is currently cancerous. Tumblr era, anti-bullying czar. Twitter era, MSNBC aunt. And the frustrating part is him acting like he represents the Marvel–Star Wars consumer. He’s pitching himself to executives like, “I speak for the fans." Those guys hate you. They don’t want your slop.

A people who were genuinely wronged and got fucked over by a much larger military force of opportunistic assholes, but then managed to completely sour me on their cause by being really fucking preachy and annoying while still expecting my help and pretending that they did absolutely nothing wrong themselves?

How interesting.

I was recently wondering if Protomorphosis Syndrome worked like the mutagen in TMNT, in that the person mutates into the lifeform that was most recently in contact with them. Barclay was taking care of O'Brien's pet tarantula and may have kept him after O'Brien was reassigned to DS9, Troi was probably feeding Picard's fish, Riker was doing Riker things with the latest batch of sexy young recruits, etc. It does make it difficult to explain Worf, but that's the nature of Season 7.

Worf was masturbating to security footage of Deana's last yoga session, which explains why he was also so aggressively horny

The only difficulty is Spot. When would she have the chance to lick an iguana?
 
Cue to the old "Bajorans is how Jews see themselves, Ferengis is how Jews are seen by others".

Not a bad way to go even if Manabe didn't quite have the resume equivalent to Shirow, Masami Obari and Satoshi Urushihara. Or have the name recognition like he did back in the late 80s to early 00s in the West.

He probably realized he needed another decade before he could collect a pension and like most military...that made his decision for him.

In all honesty DS9 would have been a step up for him. Especially after receiving a promotion to Lt Cdr. Large station, multitude of races, nexus between the Cardassians and the Gamma Quadrant and Bajor, working with non-starfleet security, probably a much bigger staff. In all honesty DS9 was Starfleet Command placing a lot of confidence in Worf and granting him a huge opportunity. Probably with the intention of promoting him to Captain after his tour was over.
