Line 369:
** For the tactical officer Worf seemed to be a terrible shot both with the ship's weapons and his own phaser. Not all of this can be attributed to [[The Worf Effect]] or the necessity of the script - in one episode he's practicing on the phaser range and gets easily beaten by ''Guinan'' (although she's had a lot more years to practice, and explicitly tells him she's been doing this since before he was born).
*** Worf does, however, generally succeed more often than he fails when it comes to weapons fire, especially in episodes with the Borg (though everyone became a crack shot in those) and the movies. And when he's asked to target specific parts of ships, he delivers nine times out of ten.
**** Worf is also likely hampered by the fact that he's usually under orders not to destroy whatever he's shooting at, which is a rather delicate request and somewhat unfair to ask of someone with an aggressive personality and the firepower to wipe out a planet at his fingertips. When he's asked to target something specific, at least it's not his fault if the other ship blows up.
* [[I, Noun]]: The episode "I Borg", despite lacking the comma.
* [[Instant Seduction]]: Okona again.
Line 412 ⟶ 413:
** In "The Measure of a Man", Riker is forced to argue the case against Data's rights. Riker does his job very well, including a devastating moment where he turns Data off to prove his point. After sitting down, though, Riker silently laments what he's doing to one of his closest friends. Even after Picard wins the case, Riker is still hung up on his actions until Data reassures him that it's okay.
* [[Mysterious Past]]
