but I now prefer pacifism to combat we're all gonna die
when the Star Trek Picard season 3 trailer dropped at New York Comic-Con recently it included several
things the Next Generation fans were familiar with and one very big thing they were not when Wharf
tells Will Riker that he now prefers pacifism to combat have you been living so long among humans
that you have forgotten how Klingons behave it had long time fans scratching their heads the Klingon
that once said Victory is life and today is a good day to die today is a good day to die now 20 years
later prefers not to fight for marginalized Star Trek fans looking for any reason to punch back at
new Trek after feeling the rug was pulled from beneath their feet after Picard seasons one and
two we get it but is this just a line or is there really something to it and if there is something
to it what could have happened for this 63 year old Klingon Warrior to turn his entire belief
structure upside down has age brought wisdom or has the flame of time extinguished the fires of
stovacor that once ran through Worf's veins or is this all just a big misunderstanding the truth
may surprise you so you don't want to miss this episode perhaps today is a good day to die today
is a good day to die today would be a bad day to die perhaps it is a good day to live and if you

awesome Star Trek Wharf inspired graphic design from The Amazing artists at mixteas.com be quiet
or disappear back where you came from I can't disappear any more than you could win a beauty
contest foreign if Wharf is a pacifist then there should be one heck of an interesting
story to share about what his life has been like in the last 20 plus years since Star
Trek Nemesis the last we saw Mr Wharf he was gunning down riemann's boarding the Enterprise
while commenting the romulans had fought with honor the romulans [ __ ] with honor
yes they did this doesn't sound like a Klingon preparing for the road of pacifism does it is
it possible wharf's comet in the trailer has been taken out of context he prefers pacifism
to combat you should know that I now prefer pacifism to combat when this statement was
made a myriad of websites writers and YouTubers came out with titles that Wharf declares he's
a pacifist but did he he prefers pacifism to combat we prefer Star Trek over Star Wars but
that doesn't mean we don't pop in The Empire Strikes Back every once in a while to watch
the best Star Wars movie ever made what is the Klingon translation for you're gonna die a virgin
Han Solo's perhaps the same thing is happening here I mean technically preferring pacifism
doesn't make you a pacifist if you are combative sometimes does that even qualify you to be a
pacifist and if Wharf has chosen the road of non-violence then what is he doing with a
giant sword Lord on his back a giant sword that showrunner Terry matalis had specially made for
Wharf this series because he wanted him to have an incredibly memorable new Klingon weapon the
sword you see in the scene where Wharf claims to prefer pacifism to combat is called a cool F and
it was designed by the creator of the batliff Dan Curry and matalis tweeted out way back in
July that you will see Warf use his new sword when fans pointed out their dismay that Wharf is
now pacifist notable YouTuber Robert Meyer Burnett who cannot confirm nor deny but confirms all the
time that he has seen season 3 made a very good point about the trailer he said you've seen two
and a half minutes of a 10-hour series a normal movie trailer usually runs between two minutes to
2 minutes and 30 seconds the trailer you saw was basically two minutes and 30 seconds and normally
these trailers are for two hour a 90 minute to two hour movie the trailer for Star Trek Picard season
3 that you saw is for a 10 hour show 10 episodes mostly an Outreach they're long his point being
that there is so much more to Picard season 3 than you see in that preview or the five second comment
by Wharf and if Wharf has somehow picked up some pacifistic qualities what could have happened to
bring the great Klingon Warrior to make this decision for his life before we explain let

and I think that um we will recognize a lot of War and we won't recognize a lot of Wharf what
could have sent our favorite Klingon down a path of pacifism we can all agree Wharf is
different than any other Klingon at the age of six his parents were killed at kittimer
and Wharf would end up being raised by humans ever notice how Warf can control himself more
than other Klingons when he was 13 Warf LED his school's soccer team to the Championships while
trying to score a goal he collided with another player where the impact of Klingon ridges against
the human skull snapped the other child's neck and killed the boy this lesson in human Frailty would
shape Worf's character and send him on a path of restraint after his decision to join Starfleet
his Klingon beliefs and Federation ideals would Forge into a unique personality unlike any other
Klingon and while his self-control was interpreted by some people as part of his Klingon Heritage it
was these early experiences among humans that would end up becoming a large part of a serious
demeanor on top of that consider the tough life Wharf has had to endure a son of the
disgraced House of Moog raised by adoptive human parents and struggled to fit in with
both Starfleet and the Klingon Empire you are late sorry I had to make myself beautiful then when you
add that his lover kalar was murdered because of his past leaving him to raise his son alone you
see an early life picture of Wharf that would put anyone in a pressure cooker as Warf tries to raise
Alexander to be his idealized version of a Klingon Warrior his son pushes back when Warf is faced
with an older version of Alexander during the episode firstborn in Star Trek TNG seventh season
his perspective on his son completely changes the future version of Alexander has become a diplomat
and a peacemaker who sought to end the centuries of struggle and feuding between the great houses
this Choice by Alexander would get Wharf killed so future Alexander came back in time to change his
younger self to choose the path of the warrior instead when Warf catches his future son trying
to kill his younger self he demands the truth the truth changes wharf's entire perspective about his
son instead of insisting Alexander except the ways of the warrior he now believes his son should be
true to himself and his beliefs he now understands that Alexander will have a noble future even if he
is not a warrior there is no honor in attacking the weak I would have won In This Moment alone we
can see how internally Wharf could now be able to accept peace over War even though it goes
against his Warrior sensibilities and then when you include all of wharf's life experiences and
lessons throughout Deep Space Nine they culminate in him eventually rejecting the role of Klingon
Chancellor as he has more than proved himself and the house of Moog by this point it clings often
prowess in battle honor gives little Comfort to a man alone in his home this clearly paves the way
for another path for Wharf that he's ideologically already been on for most of his life in the Picard
season 3 trailer we see Wharf talking to Rafi about being angry irrational and comparing her to
his younger self I was once like her the rational wild it's not a stretch to believe that after all
these years especially in the last two decades we have not seen him Wharf has come to realize that
anger and violence are no longer the answer for his inner demons Wharf in Picard season 3 becomes
the perfectly well-rounded character we've always wanted him to be the perfect balance of Harmony
and control wrapped in the skill power and Grace of a badass Warrior as opposed to seeing Wharf
as a new Trek bastardization of his former self instead appreciate the care showrunner
Terry matalis undertook making sure the Klingon we love so much reaches the Pinnacle of his character
wharf's new nature during Picard season 3 is just further evidence that metallis is indeed
giving our beloved crew the send-off they have always deserved but what do you think could this
explain wharf's pacifism comment do you think wharf's life experiences would have sent him
down this path are you looking forward to seeing Wharf in Picard season 3 or are you still on the
