[LostInAnomie]

1. Alexander is the lamest of all ST characters

A bad ass like Worf did not deserve to be cursed with such a lame ass kid.

[texanwitch]

2. He was raised my humans.

Worf was cool.

[LostInAnomie]

4. Worf was raised by humans too.

But, you didn't see him going around laming up the place.

[pokerfan]

6. The same humans if I remember correctly

[texanwitch]

7. Yeah, thats right.

I don't remember why Worf was raised by humans.

Where was the kid's mother.

[LostInAnomie]

10. Worf's parents were killed in the Khitomer Massacre.

Alexander's mother was killed by Duras after she discovered that his family was responsible for betraying Khitomer to the Romulans.

She was 1/2 human, which means Alexander was 3/4 Klingon. That is still no excuse for being a lame ass though.

[Flaxbee]

19. Worf was raised by Russians!

Very cool Russians!

Alexander was a wienie, but maybe he grew out of it.

[Orrex]

9. Alexander is also 1/4 human

Thereby diluting the Worf-coolness factor.

[LostInAnomie]

11. Yeah, but his mom was pretty bad ass...

... and even if he was only 3/4 as cool as Worf that still would make him 750% cooler than almost anyone other character on ST.

[Orrex]

13. I didn't like the actress who portrayed his mother

Suzie Plakson played a bunch of different species throughout the various series, including (I believe) Klingon/human mix, Vulcan, Q, and Andorian, but I always found her performances annoying.

[LostInAnomie]

15. 1. Annoying as she may be, that doesn't mean K'Ehleyr wasn't a bad ass.

2. I'd still totally do her. Especially if she had the red hair she had as a Q. She didn't look too bad as a Klingon either.

[Orrex]

16. Ugh. That Q "Civil War" episode might be the worst thing in the history of the universe

Lame. Lame. Lame.


And Plakson has a way of moaning her lines that I find annoying after one or two syllables. While I originally thought that this was an affectation for her role as K'Ehleyr, she did it in her other performances, too.

Grating!

[pokerfan]

3. I think they introduced Alexander

in order to make Wesley look less lame.

[Danger Mouse]

5. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

:grr:

[MilesColtrane]

8. Is he lamer than Cousin Oliver from the Brady Bunch?

You would think a lame show like the Brady Bunch couldn't get worse, but Oliver made it happen.
I think that character is the lame gold standard by which all others must be judged.

[pokerfan]

12. Yikes!

I missed him! I had long since stopped watching Brady Bunch by that point. Looks evil though.

[MilesColtrane]

14. He has come to represent a general surrender on the part of a show's writers.

17. I always respected Babylon 5 for at least one thing

"No cute kids or cute robots, ever!" (Straczynski's Law)

[pokerfan]

18. Oh crap! It's Cute Kids Night on TNG!
