Another example of how well Star Trek does the court room drama type eps :)

Never really any doubt that Worf was going to be found innocent but nice to see that he was essentially still in the wrong.

Add another vote to the 'loving of Trek courtroom dramas' :)

This is a fantastic episode, although I can't help but think that while there was a point made of it at the end, Worf should have been found guilty. He did, after all, destroy the ship, even though it was a decoy!

One touch I did like, though, was the testminony of the crew members, which were dictated whilst they were acting out the battle.

A season of stories like this would probably get dull fast, however it's a very good diversion on the few occasions it does happen.

I really liked this one :thumbsup:

I loved the way the crew members talked directly to the camera whilst their part of the story was going on. Had Scorcese done that trick (like at the end of Goodfellas) I'd no doubt have found it extremely annoying (I hate being conscious of the directing) but it works brilliantly in this setting.

I also liked that Sisko told Worf what was what at the end as well. I would have liked to have seen Worf punished for what was, as Phillip says, an act of hugely dubious motive, rather than just being ticked off and then dragged to a party, but hey ho :)
