:unsure:

Can't really make my mind up on this one.

Watchable but a bit daft - isn't the Gamma quadrant bloody miles away from the Klingon homeworld?

Seemed a bit too convenient that Mr Honour above all things Worf would lie to someone and let them fall to their death to get hold of a ba'tleth :rolleyes:

I've always enjoyed this episode, and watching it again didn't change that. However, I'll agree that some of it did seem out of place - Worf's revelation about his dreams about Kahless telling him to lead the Klingons was an oh so convenient plot device to get him all worked up and fighty. :rolleyes:

One line I always love, though:
"And when they get to Worf's verse, they'll sing 'And Worf came along'..." :thumbsup:

Well, if they can justify having a Klingon ship tens of thousands of light years away in an episode of Voyager then I'm sure they can justify this somehow! Then again, it's is Voyager so anything goes :)

Usually I like Klingon episode,s but this was just dull, dull dull.

Still, it was a nice touch getting a Lethian (or whichever race it was) from last season's 'Distant Voices' in to steal Kor's memories...

Meh, I'm not going to change my opinion of DS9's interpretation of Kor, even if they lever in his trademark "glorious".

The whole thing seemed a bit lame to me. The Sword of Kahless has been missing for ages and they find it so easily, then they turn on each other (where's Gollum?) yadda yadda yadda.

I really don't like the way Worf is being portrayed on DS9 at the moment, I hope they get him back to his normal self bloody quick <_<

Pretty much my opinion at this stage. Bit of a case of lazy writing imo - it's easier for them to add interest to the eps re Worf by ignoring how he was on TNG and putting conflict in in daft ways. It does get better though :shrug:

Exactly. Perhaps they were playing to fans of DS9 who hand't seen TNG :shrug:

I look forward to it. He's always been one of my favourite characters :)
