Warning: Spoilers
Without Michael Pataki, as Kling-On, Korax this episode would have failed. He provoked Scotcy and Check-Off into a fight, by referring to Captain Jerk as a so called Dictator, then the Enterprise should be hauling garbage, then correcting himself by stating it should be hauled AS garbage. Great acting here. Scotcy "Would you like to rephrase that Ladi?"

William Campbell - Captain Koloth, was completely wasted in this role.

Without this acting and the fight that followed, this episode would be garbage. I don't like the comedy. These are not comic actors here. They are not Abbot and Costelo. No Steve Martins on this show. We have serious actors acting stupid. This is not a serious episode. Captain Jerk does not take his responsibility seriously., even after he gets a direct order from Starfleet.

So, what's to like. A fun and stupid episode for the kids and people who like little furry pillows. Without Pataki, and Scotcy interaction my rating would be a 1 star.
