Star Trek: The Next Generation : Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

He doesnt have a house and he's not keen on telling people his fathers name.

For that matter, why does his baldric change from season 1 to season 2?

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

Cause you got when too much time on your hands.

We live as we dream - alone.

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

He wears one ever season and in the movies and DS9 too, I believe. Not just the "early seasons". He always wears One.

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Robert Vaughn. RIP Carrie Fisher. RIP William Christopher. 2016 is the worst!

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

No I didnt mean that.

What I meant was:

"Before he had a house, why does he wear a baldric?"

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

Does anybody have a house in Star Trek? I'm not sure I get what you mean.

A baldric is a belt worn over one shoulder that is typically used to carry a weapon (usually a sword) or other implement such as a bugle or drum

Perhaps you mean his sash? he doesn't seem to wear it as any kind of house insignia, (that's done with the logos pinned to the sash, not the sash itself). He wears it only as a traditional Klingon accoutrement to show he's not human. It seems it was tolerated because of the respect that Worf had earned.

"He's dusted, busted and disgusted, but he's ok"

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

I think you can tell by looking at him he wasn't human, Krule. Lol.

Umm what?

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

So that's why people keep telling him to sod off!

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

Worf use to say "permission to speak sir?" just like Baldric in Blackadder.

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

"Granted, Mr. Worf."

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

Just check some episodes of Blackadder(in particular the series that play during the trench war of WWI) and you will see I am right CJ.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

I've always thought he did it because he was Klingon and all Klingons wear the baldric the same way Indian Males wear Turbins. It's their custom.

Also, even if he didn't have a "house", he was still the "Son of Mogh" and perhaps the Baldric belonged to his father who he's honoring.

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

I am pretty certain that sash portrays he is an honorary Klingon but also a member of Starfleet. IIRC that sash had the Klingon symbol on it but I haven't watched in a while and I'm not a Trekkie, I just like Star Trek.

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

He won the sash in a gagh-eating contest.

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

He came in first place the first season(gold) and second place(silver) every season after that. Not bad. He had to wash it down with prune juice.

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

During those moments I wouldn't go near Worf. 😷

Re: Why does Worf wear a baldric in the early seasons?

I would have a hard time being near him in many cases. he had a thing against bathing.
