Heh, that's one of the funniest lines in DS9...

2295 - Destruction of the Enterprise-A

Does that help?

I really have no knowledge of the original series stuff.

(Also in 2295 is James Kirk gets sucked into the Nexus)

The Nexus can't possibly be the explanation of this.

However, since others have said Worf's grandfather was also named Worf, that seems to be the simple solution. Awesomeness.

I just mentioned the Nexus to say that that's the end of Kirk, so the movie must have taken place before that.

I always liked the remark by Chang about how Shakespeare sounded best in the "original Klingon." Classic Trek there.

Never understood this line, why is a klingon quoting shakespeare?

Read Hamlet, then watch the movie and use yer brainz. :p

Klingons have never been big on literature except their own.

It doesn't make sense that klingons would borrow human phrases, considering how they view the federation as soft.

If you watched the movie, goddamnyou, you'd know that these were not your typical "ugh grunt" Klingons. They were highly educated. A rarity, obviously, but highly educated none-the-less.

Plus, the federation, by TNG times, mostly WERE pussies.

Klingons, however, can probably understand, Humans != Federation citizens. We've had some pretty fvcking tough societies on our planet.

They could have explained that as well. They break the typical klingon mode but it never expalined why that is the case. Of course, it's been a few years since I last saw the movie and perhaps forgot the explantion.

Another thing why are their head ridges different from TNG klingons?

That could be like the Klingons asking why some of us are black and some are white.
