While not quite as action packed as The Best of Both Worlds this cliffhanger is loaded with dramatic tension and ever expanding wheels-within-wheels plot. This all goes back to the Khitomer Massacre and the creation myth of Worf, who, let’s face it, after Spock, may be the best Trek character ever created. It ain’t easy being Worf. For one thing, you’ve got to deal with Picard always harassin’ ya — first tellin’ ya one thing (go fight to restore your family’s name!) then tellin’ ya something else (but don’t expect me or the Federation to help!)
A pox on the house of Duras and Q’apla! to the house of Gowron (for now) and look out for that lurking female Romulan, who ends this two-parter with one of the better twists, in that it has a nice double meaning for longtime fans.
