That scene was always utterly hysterical to me. Just how suddenly Worf just beats the shit out of a woman out of fucking nowhere. Like what the hell are you doing bro. It’s framed and filmed in such a way that its not an obvious decision to make either. Especially when I didn’t know Klingons at the time. Worf suddenly back handing her and her being basically fine with it just hit my funny bone in a way I never expected. There was nothing that ever could have prepared me for the sudden culture shock. Riker had no damn excuse but at least I did.
