I do get what your saying about future events though, but I think the intention or potential would still be there for Worf to want to join the Empire eventually. And I think the writers put it in the episode as a bit of a finalization and fulfillment of Worf's life. I want to watch TNG again now! that would make it 5 times. | |

Plus, you'd need to place your faith in the fact that this test Q put together for Picard was an actual future timeline that could have potentially existed. That's not guaranteed either because of Q's very nature and his involvement in this mess. | |
| May 4, 2017 at 19:41 | comment | added | n00dles | @Ellesedil Yeah, you're right, It's open to debate and interpretation. Like; Worf is exactly the same person, the only difference is the appearance of the anomaly, which Q helped resolve by joining the timelines through Picard's consciousness. Warf would still have the same instincts and desires, that wouldn't change. Actually, I don't think they knew about the anomaly (looking back from the future), so wouldn't that make the future an unchanged timeline?!? Anyhoo, I don't think it makes a difference to the OP's question really. | |

This isn't necessarily true. That was an alternate future timeline created partially with Q's assistance. There is no guarantee that anything in that timeline ever actually comes to pass. So while it's possible Worf becomes a governor in the Klingon Empire, it's also very likely something completely different occurs. | |
