What in the Duras Sisters is that?

I’m voting for Martok. That ain’t Gowron.

OK now I need to ask: what is it with Gowron that makes him so meme-worthy (even if that isn't Gowron in the pic)?

I know a fair bit of Star Trek lore - but not all. Maybe he re-appeared in DS9? That's the one I haven't watched much of.

Edith: I thank you for all the explantions, even those that try to make me watch DS9.

He’s got a goofy look. It was later discovered that the actor basically took it too far and intentionally overly opened his eyelids for every damn take. That commitment to being on the trek spectrum earned the character lifetime membership onto the internet.

apart from what the other comment said, yes, there is a lot more of him in ds9. and ds9 is one of the best treks, so if you haven't seen it, i almost envy you the chance to see it for the first time. except for the unfortunate question of technical quality, which really is not up to today's standards.

You don’t love the wormhole animations that look like early 2000s screensavers?

It's not the main Gowron, Son of M'Rel we're familiar with, but he's from 300 years in the future or whatever. This is just Gowron, son of Keith, from present day Earth.

"Gowron" may just be a common Klingon "bloke name" like "Colin" or "Dave".

Much as I would love it if my home city was this cool, this is an edit of a photo someone took in Winnipeg.

Also why do such a clean edit and not add in actual Gowron? Come on now.

None

Mind you, Gowron was a bit extra so it really fits the character. I'm not sure if the Klingon Empire produced cocaine but if they did he'd be one of its main consumers.

Best answer so far!

Thank you for the sleuthing.

The only explanation I see is that certain 'muricans could never accept a cool thing that came from Canada.
