As Gowron turns around with those wild eyes he sees the the shadowy figure of Kurn. He says GGGOOOWWWRROOONNN much like he said Helen in Candyman with the echo. Gowron shouts for help as Kurn closes the gap. When Gowron knows he must fight he pulls his bat'leth but loses after a series of blows. Kurn lowers his weapon and with his rage now subsiding says "honor has been satisfied".

He was great as old Jake
He's also a vortiguant In half life 2
Kurn is the best Klingon. Tony Todd has just the right amount of camp blended into what feels like proper stage acting and it just works for a Klingon on TNG.
Yep. He did make an excellent Klingon. It would have been interesting if he had played the part of Worf.
Close, Martock was the best
"A demonstration can be arranged!" - Traditional Klingon response
It reminds me of when a klingon told Picard that Starfleet doesn't teach its officers how to fight and his response was, "You may test that assumption at your convenience."
Dammit, I just imagined a Klingon working at the Apple store and a customer asking about the new OS features...
@@studentofsmith Meanwhile Riker cleaned Klag's clock. Granted, he got off the first few hits so.
I wonder if the klingon used car salesman also uses this line...
That is the response of a Klingon….
I just love the almost instant bonding between them when Worf growls, 'your deception offends me, brother'. This is my favourite episode of the series and a pivotal moment in the series' best story arc, in my opinion anyway.
Tony todd FTW . you cant mess with the Candyman
Since Klingons do everything more hardcore, could you imagine a fucking klingon cabrini green with a klingon candyman? I think I'd have shit runnin down my leg.....
you don't even wanna fuck with that mack-daddy
Or Darkseid
When I was a child the candy man scared the ever living SHIT outta me.
.."Candyman. Candyman. Candyman. Candyman. ..."
I loved Kurn! He was so awesome! My favorite part of this episode is when, after Worf accepts disincomidation, Kurn refuses to turn his back on him...and Worf pretty much has to make him. That's true loyalty, there!
I absolutely love that scene. You could really see the pain in his face. Another scene which stands out for me is when Captain Picard orders the Enterprise to the "First Imperial City of the Klingon Empire". The look of absolute pride on his face.
Tony Todd (Kurn) is one of my favorite genre actors.
Tony Todd was Excellent in The Candyman Films too.
He was amazing in "The Visitor" (DS9).
Genre or not, Tony's of my of favorites altogether. The man has such range and talent that he never fails to impress.
He's dude all right
I would have preferred an alternate reality where he plans to assassinate Gowron. Stalking him down in a quiet dark corridor guards lay dead on the floor around. As Gowron turns around with those wild eyes he sees the the shadowy figure of Kurn. He says GGGOOOWWWRROOONNN much like he said Helen in Candyman with the echo. Gowron shouts for help as Kurn closes the gap. When Gowron knows he must fight he pulls his bat'leth but loses after a series of blows. Kurn lowers his weapon and with his rage now subsiding says "honor has been satisfied".
A DEMONSTRATION CAN BE ARRANGED!!!!!
Lol I love that
I know! The elegant ferocity
The Jem Hadar point and laugh at the Klingons and their comfortable chairs
Cameron Pearce Hard to point and laugh after Worf breaks your neck.
Tony Todd probably would have made a great Jem'Hadar first too. It's a shame he didn't get more parts in Star Trek. Especially considering how Star Trek loved to recycle actors. Vaughn Armstrong and Jeffrey Combs both played at least a dozen different roles across the various startrek series.
They weren't laughing when Worf ran through them in DS9. In fact he made them respect Klingon strength and courage.
Don't look so surprised, Worf. He has your exact same forehead!
I always thought that this should mean something. A family trait. The Duras all have the same cranial ridges. Obviously runs in families. Shouldn't Worf have immediately thought that "hey, we're related"?
@@duanscott2490 guess he has never met any relatives nor would he have thought he had one around his own age.
Tony Todd is one of my all time favorite actors. He really plays the role of a conquering warrior perfectly.
I liked him on Stargate SG1 too.
I really felt to sorry for him. He was starting to shed tears in DS9 when he said, "Whether it be Earth or the empire. The songs of Mogh should have never been separated. In that moment, he didn't care if he was raised human or klingon, He and he didn't care about honor. He just wanted to have the chance to be raised alongside his brother.
Classic scene this is when tng was really starting to hit its stride
Still, filter thru the fist 2 seasons. There are some ace episodes in there.
@@GGGritzer yeah, Measure of a Man is one of the best Star Trek episodes out there
@@xeraminkelvorax9110, even season 1. Where No One Has Gone Before, The Big Goodbye, Datalore, 11001001 & The Arsenal Of Freedom were excellent. S2 had the one you mentioned, Contagion, Pen Pals, Q Who, The Emmisary & Peak Performance. More than a few decent ones in there over the first 2 years.
Nothing like younger bro. picking on older one.
His guys acting is really subtle and understated. He's being superficially diplomatic but because he's not actually there for his stated purpose. His faux passes feel legit because of this. And all the time hes very subtlety antagonising Worf in a way which a human wont clock but will drive him up the wall.
It is sad what happened to Kurn. Worf had Bashir completely wipe Kurn memory because Kurn was acting like a suicidal cry baby. Had Kurn hung in there for literally a little time Mortok would have restored his loses 10 times over.
I agree. It was a disappointing ending for his character. Especially considering how Worf fell in & out of favor with the Empire. He should have just held out a little longer. An honorable death would have been better than having is mind erased.
Kurn was better off separated from Worf. Everything Worf did impact Kurn... plus Kurn always felt obliged to obey Worf. This way at least Kurn had his own life.
The Klingons and Vulcans are both very messed up people whose cultural ideals often reach ridiculous lengths. Klingon society encourages good men to get screwed and blamed for the crimes of others all in the name of "honor".
Tony Todd absolutely nails his performance as a Klingon. I feel the actor is more Klingon than most the fictional Klingons we've seen on screen. 😄
What a badass. These two kicked serious ass.
“This entire ship seems built on comfort…” Too bad he wasn’t around for the Enterprise E.
the fact that Kurn reacts to the door BEFORE the bell goes off shows that he has the keen senses of a warrior.
He doesn't react before the chime.
Boy, that deescalated quickly.
Kurn, one of the best Klingon characters and the most tragic. He even gave up, unknowingly, his klingonship for his brother.
Kurn: So, your blood is not so thin after all! Worf: I am a Klingon! If you doubt it, a demonstration can be arranged! Kurn: That is a response of a Klingon! The response I would expect from my older brother.
Kurn and Martok, my 2 favorite Klingons. Tony Todd and J.G. Hertzler, 2 damn fine actors and both a credit to the profession.
Huge missed opportunity to not have them occupy the same scene
Candyman makes an amazing Klingon, but I personally loved him as adult Jake Sisko more than anything else.
What I’m surprised about is Worf not recognizing or even suspecting Kurt was his brother given the fact it is canon that Klingon forehead ridges are very similar or the same when it runs in the family lines. Kurn’s and Worf’s ridges are the same, thus Worf should have picked up on that character trait.
I always figured perhaps he may have suspected it somewhere within him, but didn’t want to assume.
Its funny to see Worf's cranium size change size over the seasons
Truth is everytime Worf gets denied his cranium mutates out of anger. Usually takes a full season before the mutations are noticeable.
I heard that the original casting for the early season's appliance was lost or stolen which is why the forehead changes.
Perhaps they shed their ridges? Lol
Tony Todd was a good choice. They had good Chemistry
1:21 "..yet you dishonor me at every opportunity!"
.....have I
"I simply didn't want to hurt you." "You sound like a Romulan!"
One of the three great scenes where a lone warrior finds he has a brother. 1) This one 2) Sharpe's Justice 3) Robin Hood; Prince of Thieves
one of the best scenes of stng
Loved this episode, it brought a whole new backstory in, and sent Worf on a roller-coaster character arc. I'm still hoping the character returns for 'Picard' some time down the road.
1:16 As Riker said earlier in the episode: "One does not patronize a Klingon warrior." Kurn was testing Worf. Worf passed.
The story lines dealing with the Klingons were the best episodes of the series. They had characters who had depth and substance, not like the cookie cutter "not really evil or bad, just misunderstood" characters and story lines that I feel plagued the series. Kurn was a great character and could have held his own in a spinoff series.
1:45 amongst other things, Michael Dorn continuing to act even when out of focus and the continuity of that cut right there are just *chef's kiss*
Ronald d Moore wrote some of the best Star Trek episode. Love the tng Klingon arcs
Notice the Shakespearean influences in this particular scene! Fantastically acted by Michael Dorn and Tony Todd.
“I will try some of your burnt bird!”
I will try some of your burnt replicated bird meat.
hey thanks for making these clips, you helped me get into star trek
Kurn really knew how troll Worf like no other.
Comes with being the same species. The blood relation probably gives an additional innate bonus. 😂
Honestly being at ease in-between battle would suit a warrior absolutely perfectly
I'll never get tired of when he always talks about worf's quarters being "soft and comfortable" whether it be on the enterprise or on ds9 lol
When the world finds out that the Candyman was Worf's brother.
Kurn is such a cool ass character played by a cool ass actor. I'm really sad with how they ended his story, though.
Same. It disappointed me then, and it disappoints me now. So much wasted potential
I'll try to remember, if I ever want respect from a Klingon, just throw a chair and go Ahhhrrrrggg.
One of my favorite episodes of TNG.
Love the reveal of Kurn being worfs brother
this show only gets better as time go past. It's good in every way.
"You have insulted me! We must kung fu fight!"
the House of Mogh is so badass
That demonstration sounds like it might involve some pain. :)
"You deception O-fends me brother!" lol
That would have been one hell of a fight.
i knew i recognized that vortigaunt voice!
Kurn isn’t only Worf’s brother but he’s also Alexander’s uncle
I loved the whole "rasta-klingon" vibe
Kurn was trying to get a rise out of Worf just to see if it was possible the same as those Klingons from S1
Love the way Tony Todd acts. Always thought this was a great role for him.
Worfs voice is terrifying and yet also vrry manly
"If you doubt it, a demonstration can be arranged." _Yes._ 😎
"That is the response I would expect from my older brother" Worf: "W...wot?"
😯
is this from the Maury Show? "Worf, he is your brother." LOL
Kurn the Candy Man Klingon
It was interesting to see how Moore and the other writers would navigate the idea that Kurn outranked Worf as an officer but answered to him as a brother. It gave Worf sway over a small fleet of ships in "Redemption".
You're deception offense me brother... It should..... I don't know why I like that part so much, I just do
Kurn: and to top it off, I am your brother! Worf:....as..the humans say....say whaaaaaat?!
Me realizing that CandyMan played a Klingon!! Tony Todd is a very underrated actor
He was also the elder Jake sisko in the deep space 9 Episode, were Benjamin Cisco was trapped in subspace being pulled through time.
2:03 Dun Dun Duuuuun! (fade out to commercials)
That's precisely what I said! Lol
I would pay at least 2 bars of gold pressed latinum to see that fight!
Wouldn't the similarity in forehead ridges be a dead giveaway that they were related?
I loved when Kurn told Riker if it were a Klingon ship he would have killed him for such and such. Lol.
Kurn Commander of the IKS Hegh'Ta.
I dare you to say Kurn name 3 times in a row, it will be your final destination
You shouldn't Klingon to old superstitions.
@@aarongreenfield9038 It's not a Rock you can hold to.
Would have loved a Klingon stand alone movie back in the day with Worf And Kurn
*"Worf findS out..." (third-person singular)*
"Luke, I am your father."
Kurn deserved his own series, w Worf. Good Klingons cleaning up the Empire.
I LOVE when people mess with Worf 🤣🤣🤣
It would be cool to see a limited series, or a couple short treks on Mog...Worf's father.
Who do you think could play Mogh (NOT MICHAEL DORN)?
@@BrotherDerrick3X not sure...would hv to think about that.
I remember this part
So does Pepperidge farm
I liked Kurn a lot he took shit from no one. LOL He even gave Picard a hard time.
Candyman!
That would have been one hell of a fight!
Tony Todd 👏👏👏
You could play a drinking game for every time Worf says "I am a Klingon!"
What happens if you say Kurn name 3 times in a mirror
That is the response of a Klingon! The response I would expect of my Aunt Shelia!!!
“Good Byeee”
It's still crazy that worf's brother Is the candy man
This why you never piss off Worf.
Why does a 6'5 tony Todd look so short in DS9 when worf is only 6'1
The Story of Worf and all his family is only sad all the time.
Worf's brother always reminded me of a defensive black for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was good.
