Actress Georgia Brown & Future References To Star Trek's Worf In Nothing But The Night (1973)

Easteregg Psychic

Here I show a possible brief future reference to Michael Dorn's Klingon character, Lieutenant Commander Worf. He was the starship Enterprise's security & tactical officer on the science fiction TV series Star Trek The Next Generation ('87-'94). You can see this in 1973 Peter Cushing  / Christopher Lee horror film Nothing But The Night.  A mystery surrounds a group of school children & several unfortunate events. Brown later played Worf's Earth adoptive mother Helena Rozhenko in 2 episodes of the series (including "Family" Season 4 Episode 2 in 1990).   The school shown in Nothing But The Night is located on the Scottish isle of Bala. To reach it the characters have to board a ferry boat at a port. I thought the reference may be homophone based (WHARF, which can be a synonym for a port or harbor VS the name WORF).    There are 2 major scenes showing the port, one at 38 minutes, 17 seconds & another at 52 minutes, 42 seconds.  Further references to the parts of a boat or ship are at 1 hour, six minutes in a key scene between Cushing & Brown's characters.

00:00In this video, I mention a possible future, Easter egg reference to Star Trek The Next Generation's Lieutenant Commander Worf.

00:08You can see this in 1973 British horror film, Nothing But The Night.

00:15This featured a cast with Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Diana Doors, Keith Barron, Gwyneth Strong, Michael Gambon, Sheila Fraser, and

00:26Kathleen Byron.

00:27English singer and actress Georgia Brown plays Joan Foster in this.

00:33She was later Worf's mother in two episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation.

00:39In season 4, episode 2, entitled Family in 1990, Worf's adopted father, played by Theodore Bickle, also appears in this

00:48one.

00:49Played by Michael Dorn, Worf was a Klingon adopted by a Belarusian family on Earth, the Rojinkos.

00:59Alright, so Nothing But The Night features a school located on the Scottish island of Bala.

01:05To get to the island, the characters have to bird a ferry boat.

01:10There's a couple scenes showing this, one at 38 minutes 17 seconds, Diana Doors' character makes this trip, and then

01:20the major one at 52 minutes 42 seconds, where Brown, Lee, and Cushing's characters make the journey.

01:28So this Easter egg, I think is based on an idiophone, this can also be a homophone, a word that

01:36sounds the same as another, but has a different meaning.

01:40We're talking about Worf, the name, W-O-R-F, versus Worf, W-H-A-R-F.

01:48A Worf can be synonymous with a port, where ships make landing at a dock or a pier, etc.

01:56There's some more references to boats or ships at one hour, six minutes into Nothing But The Night, and a

02:05key scene between Cushing and Georgia Brown's characters.

02:11A note in the background, a boat is hanging, and the signage for stern midships and bows, all related to

02:19nautical craft.
