Riker is just following Starfleet's mandate: To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before.

"Is she serious?" Riker, don't pretend you have standards.

Klingons would sing songs about a human who do it with 2 of their women at once.

Klingon battle cruiser= the ultimate brofest.

Picard: Welcome back Number One, I hope you enjoyed your time with the Klingons.....are those bite marks?" Riker: "Don't ask Captain. Don't ask." Picard: (Face palm) "That is not what I meant by fostering relations with the Klingons, Number One."

It took me a bit to realize that the Klingon next to Riker was Shao Kahn.

If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

B'elanna Torres is proof that it wasnt fatal for a human male. I remember that episode. Tuvok's face was priceless

Riker: Oh, the things I do for the Federation.

I love the look of fear on Rikers face when she says she'll be back for him!

There's no reason to believe their teeth work the same as ours do. The fact that they use teeth sharpeners may mean that their teeth grow their entire lives and dull and have to be resharpened. As for the color it could be a completely different material than enamel. So for them oral hygiene would end up being something completely different.

Well. Talk about being forward.

He's just like " I'm gonna need more alcohol for tonight!" *takes gulp of wine*

I love Ricker's "Oh shit" face when he realizes the Klingon women "challenge accepted".

Wrongness? I call that PERFECT!

Man, I wish we could have seen more of Klag. He seemed like an interesting character

R:She's serious? K: Yes R: I'm gonna need some beer goggles for this one.

LMAO the only time I've seen Riker truly scared

10 Minutes later. Riker "I had SNU SNU"

Riker is just living up to Starfleet's mandate: "To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before."

0:17 Random Klingon female crew member is very interested in Riker's endurance

And while we're on the subject of both: consecutively or concurrently?

LMAO.. Riker: She serious? Klingon: Yes Riker: Fuuuuuuuuu.. *drinks more beer*

This scene has been my very favorite from TNG and in my favorite episode. Thanks for posting it.

Omg. This scene always makes me laugh. Just a casual drink and food at the local bar with crazy, fun people. LOL

Riker at 0:42 "Oh dear Christ, she called my bluff!"

Riker: "I shall get out of this with my charm, wit, and bluff!" Klingon Woman: "No you won't!"

It seems to me that something like a caste system is what they have. Or if not exactly a frozen-in-place caste system, they have a warrior class and a non-warrior class. For the most part, it's the warriors that we see and hear from, and their values that are on display.

He just agreed to death by snoo-snoo (yes I went there) lol

"One or both?" That was fucking awesome!

I absolutely love this episode. Riker did everything right; he even knew when NOT to duck. ;)

Yes, wrongness - because they are strong, know exactly what they want, what they don't want, and what they'll put up with, and choose to go after it like the primal, magnificent race that they are. If a little predictably primal and proud. Someone's clearly a softie... ;)

"One or both?" Ha! good answer.

It's also possible that they were still unsure how they wanted to show Klingon women. The overall makeup was still evolving. Compare them to later on with Lursa and B'Etor and their epic Kleavage Windows. On the other hand it's a transition period, look back at STV and Vixis (drool). And before someone brings up K'Ehylar she was half human explaining her human teeth.

Neelix was straight in there, no hesitation. He pursued and was victorious.

If this is wrongness, then I don't want to be right!

Two wrongs really DO make a right!

Riker, a word of advice, get super drunk!

Well done Riker.He turned the joke around and became one of the boys

She goes I may be back for you and I instantly started thinking blackberry bushes that haven't been hedged

0:43 Riker: ... Oh shit!

“He’s not very attractive, but I will have him.” So sure are you? Maybe I’ll have YOU instead.

Beavis: Boioioing hhh hhhh hhh Boioioing!

Worf: KLINGONS DO NOT LAUGH! Klingons: 0:28

Worf mainly knows about his culture through second hand learnings and studying. Because he did not spend most of his life among his people, expectations vs reality may be a very different thing. After all, if one were a human who did not grow up among humans and learned about human traditions from secondhand information, would that human not expect all humans to traditionally wait until marriage for sex? That's probably worth a few laughs.

'One or both'?...A Man after my own heart!

If this is how Klingon officers act, I can only imagine what their junior enlisted and NCOs must be like

Wrongness? Just cause you too weak to...endure

Not really, B'elana Torres had a human father iirc, he survived

Y'all are cowards if you're saying you'd need to be drunk to hit that 😆

Probably the only time Riker looked scared......

How is this wrong unless you are a weakling who can't deal with strong women?

In many ways, our founders were far more enlightened, advanced and mistrustful of religion than many of today's "Leaders": Thomas Paine: "What is it the New Testament teaches us? To believe that the Almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married; and the belief of this debauchery is called faith."

Riker is taking up where Kirk left off.

I spy with my little eyes...... A CURSOR!!!

I kind of look at it like this. The US Marines always say every Marine is a rifleman. But not all are in the infantry or any of the other combat fields. There are Marines that are in finance, and accounting, and whatnot. I see it the same way for the Klingons. However, their basic nature is still that of the fighter. Not all will excel in the fighting part. As with in real life certain things are valued more than others. Klingons value fighting prowess above all else.

Surprised they didn’t send Worf, I mean he would’ve been the natural choice.

We've been over this TGN, STOP MOLESTIN RIKER FOR LAUGHS DON'T MAKE ME GET THE HOSE AGAIN

Luv the look on Riker's face. "She serious?" Klingon: "Yes" Riker:"Damn, shoulda had a V8..."

Strong Klingon women would make strong offspring.

"One or both..." made my day!

What wrongness ? They're warriors, they fight hard, live hard, love hard and die young. Nothing wrong there.

Riker: "She serious?" Klingon Guy: "Yes." Riker: "Transferring auxiliary power to the bloodwine goggles."

@UltimateDeliciousPie ROFL, broken hips and a cigarrette. best episode ever

0:29...OH, HE JUST MADE A SEXY JOKE!!!!!!

Lol I thought that mouse was mine for a sec

for the first time I see Riker terrified by the idea of having sex. LOL

True, but then the odds for survival are in your favor with Troi...

Riker's wondering how long his Sick Bay stay would be if he caught a Klingon STD.

The word is not "suffer". The word is "enjoy"...

Very true. And on the other hand, who's to say there were never periods in Klingon history that were less militaristic/feudalistic/whatever? Sure, Klingons in the TNG era like to think "this is the way it's always been", but that doesn't mean it's so. Just look at the American religious right, who think that the framers were all fundamentalist Christians and that all of history was like a 1950's sitcom or a John Wayne movie until the hippies sprung fully formed from the brow of Che or whatever.

Set Giggity from 'stun' to 'kill'.

hahahaha, poor Riker. This is the first and only time I've seen him disgusted and horrified by a female....

@Swordsman808 He's only following that old Starfleet mandate: "To Boldly Go Where No Man has Gone Before!"

Both. It's Riker, he'll be doing both.

Klingons have ridges on their foreheads. I can't imagine what a Klingon hooha looks like.

And the correct response for Riker for that answer, is to DRINK MORE BLOOD WINE, (or any type of alcohol that is on board that ship.)

Riker better stretch or he'll pull a hammy.

they'd make Riker's meat Dolphin look like it had been caught by sadistic Japanese Fishermen.

Get your coat riker, youve pulled haha

Wow, good stuff, this is back when Riker was cool..

The best episode of a really excellent show.

Reminds me of my visit back to Nicaragua.

Don't pretend you wouldn't do it.

I'm aware of the explanation for the more human appearance in TOS but that was not what I meant by "softer Klingon woman." I'm against making the entire race into hyper warriors.

You see that Kllingon woman scoping him out at 0:15 ? I bet she's just waiting for her turn lol. Riker better watch out!

This is the episode that first made me love Commander Riker.

true, because how the hell would they develop the engineering capability for warp travel without ANY intellectuals? The one episode where a young Klingon preferred engineering to battle, (and showed promise) he was excoriated as a "weakling" by his peers. So an ENTIRE society of warriors would never develop the infrastructure....the technology. Every society needs it's ditch diggers too!

After that Klingon is finished screaming in his ears; he probably wont have to ever again!

@Metathran, You're welcome. One of my favorite episodes, actually. I mean, really shows the Klingons in a way we hadn't seen before. Riker -- "Yesterday, I did not know how....to eat gagh."

I know Kirk's, Quagmire's, and Neelix's lyons are burning right now. No offense to anyone across the multiverse.

and Tom survived B'ellana. It's possible but it takes a hard core guy.

Riker had to take a drink

I think the klingon at 1:26 is that genetically modified blonde dude who was in X-files, also a member of Bill Paxtons street punk gang in The Terminator... even with klingon makeup his facial structure is so recogniseable :p

Ah couple of beers...ah fuck, might as well...might be fun

It's a good thing Riker had his beard. The klingons would've killed him if he didn't.

That part never gets old!

"A Matter of Honor"? I loved the food scenes.

Both? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Me in this situation: "NO THANKS! SEE YOU LATER!" *Downs drink and hauls ass out of town*
