    They did kind of just gloss over the fact Worf was still a Starfleet officer when he assassinated the head of the Klingon Empire.

      Maybe of there was a 8th season there would have been time, but they were running out at that point.

      He still did better than Sisko by not poisoning entire planets for personal vendetta, and Starfleet was fine with that.

      Also, Section 31 has apparently been around for 300 years at this point, so Roddenberry’s utopia arguably never existed.

      Worf has dual citizenship and is Klingon nobility, which comes with political duties. So long as he’s off the clock and the Empire doesn’t get upset about it, he gets a lot of leeway.

        Yeah when the communicator badge comes off, it’s killing time. When you see Worf without the badge on, best be getting to your quarters and locking the door.

      Yeah well Worf was the one who made that guy the lead of the Klingon Empire years earlier… by killing some other guy.
