If you’re a fan of Greek plays, you’ll probably enjoy it, but if you want something a bit more complex, then Klingon stories are not for you. Despite the presence of some females on the Klingon council, it does feel somewhat like a big boy’s club, where macho posturing and bragging about one’s father is the done thing, and justice is decided by whoever can shout the loudest. Kurn is a harsh taskmaster, but despite appearances, he didn’t take this assignment just to harass the crew – in fact, he is Worf’s younger brother, and he needs his older sibling to help him challenge an accusation that their father was traitor.Īs well as being the follow-up to Riker’s Klingon exchange, this episode kicks off the Klingon arc, a long-running story about Klingon politics that stretches across TNG and well into DS9. As reciprocation for Riker’s tour on a Klingon ship, the Enterprise temporarily takes on Klingon Commander Kurn as first officer.
