    Bahaha fair call mate! The other artist who came to mind was Bryan Adams, who it turns out is Canadian so clearly I’m completely full of shit.

    Logic and reason aside… Idk it just feels like American fluff to me. To be clear, I don’t mean to hate on American culture with that statement. Every culture has its own vapid, meaningless fluff. God knows Australian culture does!

    Regardless of who sang it or wrote it, something about faith of the heart just feels really, really American to me. Obviously Trek has always been an American show, but it has always seemed to make an effort to be more universal than that. I still remember hearing faith of the heart for the first time and it just felt… foreign. Unrelatable.

    And personally I just hate power ballads so that’s my own bias haha. My whole argument is vibes and opinions really, I make zero claim to being correct or even internally consistent on this.






  • I think it fits as a character flaw tbh. Worf has always struggled with his heritage, his parentage, his identity. He had great adoptive human parents, but always wrestled with how to be a good Klingon, and what that even means. It’s unsurprising that he isn’t sure how to raise a Klingon boy, when he has so many unanswered questions about his own upbringing.
