reminds me of the episode where Q conjures a Klingon woman for Worf and they just kinda growl at each other until he hits her. and Riker, aghast and intolerant of other cultures, asks Worf if he's fucking serious lol

Like riker doesn't have a ton of weird kinks

There's a non-zero probability that Riker's fucked a chair, that's for sure.

On purpose, or just trying to sit down?

Started as the latter, but...

The klingon/human dichotomy is fascinating.

In many ways humans and klingons are quite similar, it's just that what klingons think of as strengths, humans often think of as weaknesses, and vice versa.

A klingon will brag of how many people they have killed, but be too ashamed to admit to avoiding war.

In the star trek universe, humans are proud of solving problems non-violently through diplomacy, and are often ashamed of having to use violence.

Leads to a lot of misunderstandings and conflict. It's only with time that the klingons learn that humans (and the federation) are capable warriors and far less weak/meek than they initially appeared. Once they realise this, it's inevitable that the relationship between the two thaws, as they learn to respect each other.

@driving_crooner @Stamets is "shares" a typo, or is that supposed to be some take off of shades (of gray) that this negro-divergent Star Trek fan doesn't get.

Punk Klingons wandering around wearing pink silk and fluffy feather boas would be the equivalent of us seeing fellow humans in black leather
