HRH The KING 0 Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) Outstanding episode. Klingon politics and internal strive was TNG's "Dominion War". Without it, it would have been dominated by Roddenberryism. Superb performances and I really couldn't blame Worf for killing Duras. I mean, that guy just had it coming. If someone harmed Her Royal Highness The Queen, I'd frickin waste them too. Gold Standard episode, and brilliant character development for Worf. Rating = 5 Edited June 1, 2005 by The King Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostofMajorHayes 10 Posted December 23, 2007 Gave it a 4. Very good, but not the best Klingon ep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted December 28, 2007 4. Very good episode, but not enough for a 5. Don't blame Worf for killing Duras either. Didn't really like the way they portrayed Gowron, though. But great acting from Dorn and Stewart in this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabo Queen 0 Posted January 21, 2008 I gave this one a five...I always loved K'Ehleyr and Worf together, and although it's heartbreaking to watch how her death affects both him and Alexander, I love that it ultimately leads the two to bond through her death. Plus, I love Gowron and his unblinking awesomeness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted January 22, 2008 5 star episode which is one of my favorite Klingon episodes. Trivia from Memory Alpha: Memorable Quotes "I want you to discover which one of them has killed me: Gowron or Duras. Yes. Duras. I thought you might find that interesting." "Interesting. You could say that since he tried to have me killed and conspired to strip Worf of his good name." "And I approved, all for the glory of the Empire. That should be my epitaph. Find the assassin. The Klingon who kills without showing his face has no honor. He must not be allowed to lead the Empire. Such a man would be capable of anything … (laughs) even war with the Federation." "Very well. I accept." - K'mpec and Jean-Luc Picard "I don't want to be a warrior." - Alexander Rozhenko "I know little of Gowron, only that he is an outsider who has often challenged the council. But Duras, … I know him. His heart is not Klingon." - Lt. Worf "You have never seen death? (Alexander shakes his head.) Then look … and always remember." - Worf, about K'Ehleyr's body "Are you my father?" "Yes. I am your father." - Alexander and Worf "I have been informed of your attempts to access restricted Council records!" "I've been investigating what happened at Khitomer. Not at all an easy task, considering that most of the records are sealed." "Worf's father was a traitor!" "No. The evidence was altered to make it appear that way. I found it interesting to read that your father was also at Khitomer, and you are the one who sealed the records." "You dare insult my father's name?!!" "Don't play the wounded Klingon for me, Duras. You don't do it very well. What happened in that Council chamber? How did you get Worf to take the blame for you?" "Do not pursue this matter further!" "The son betrays his people to the Romulans, just as his father did, Duras." - Duras and K'Ehleyr Background Information This episode marks the first appearances of Gowron (Robert O'Reilly) and Alexander Rozhenko (Jon Steuer) on the series and the deaths of K'Ehleyr (Suzie Plakson), Duras (Patrick Massett), and Chancellor K'mpec (Charles Cooper). This is the only episode in which Alexander Rozhenko is played by Jon Steuer. In all subsequent episodes of TNG, the young Alexander was played by Brian Bonsall. James Sloyan played a future version of him in "Firstborn", and Marc Worden played him in DS9: "Sons and Daughters" and "You Are Cordially Invited". This episode also marks the first appearance of the Vor'cha-class attack cruiser, the first Klingon vessel designed for any of the spin-off series. Earlier episodes reused footage or used models of the K't'inga-class battle cruiser or the Klingon Bird-of-Prey built for the movies. As of this episode, there are representatives from thirteen planets among the crew of the Enterprise.

They should've never killed Worf's woman. And I liked how Gowron was portrayed. The above line--and its awesome delivery--won my heart.
