new star trek idea: aliens not knowing jack shit about earth animals. riker has to physically restrain worf from fighting a bear. janeway watches lovingly as tuvok cradles a duck in his arms. odo sees a blobfish and has a spiritual experience. kira fights a nile crocodile thinking it’s dukat. spock represses the urge to simply Hold a penguin.
This is great, except that Worf grew up on Earth. He would know what a bear was. He might try and fight one anyway.
worf pretending he doesn’t know what a bear is so he can fight it
Worf didn’t just grow up on Earth. He grew up in RUSSIA. He KNOWS what a bear is, and ABSOLUTELY will fight it.
