Another Star Trek question

[Orrex]

Is there any race in the galaxy that can't kick a Klingon's ass? Humans can apparently beat them in one-on-one combat, and it's not like we're the toughest kids on the block.

Klingons are put forth as these uber-tough warriors, but any time they get in a pinch they drag out the baat'leth and go into that goofy, slower-than-tai-chi fighting style.

Hey, I like Worf just fine, but Klingons need to be written better if they ever appear onscreen again.

2. yeah all their victories tend to come offscreen

Makes you wonder if it's really a big put on job.

It would have been great for at least at one point for a fleet of Klingon ships, not a measly single scout ship, or three battlecruisers, but like....60 battlecruisers with 30 assorted accompanying scout ships...just warped into space annihilated the Excelsior or some other ship, and whoosh gone...boarded a ship killing everyone on board, taking the dilithium crystals or whatever they cam efor then leaving and destroying the ship...

Now that'd be a good day to die.

Intstead they're always just roaring aimlessly and shooting themselves in the foot. Not terrifying.

3. It's all about attitude

Klingons are like ancient greek heros...they WANT to fight, to act tough and seek out fights is the height of morality and responsibility and expression no matter how tough or not they actually are.

Humans are tough when it comes to it but culturally they want to avoid a fight (at least in the Star Trek universe)

But also, In DS9 Worf kicked ass many times.
