9/10
The cha'DIch will be silent

Enterprise takes a Klingon first officer on board as part of the exchange program, but it has major implications for Worf.

This is a highly enjoyable episode that further develops the Klingon culture through the character of Worf.

The plot is very interestingly structured as it starts of by presenting a 'Captain Queeg' type situation before it flies off in an unexpected direction and kicks off a big series arc.

Central to this is Worf, who leads the episode with his most compelling screen time of the show so far and participates in scenes that give insight into the Klingon culture. His characterisation along with the writing of all the Klingon characters and society contains some highly imaginative detail.

Captain Picard has a strong episode and not only portrays great devotion and loyalty to his crew member but gives an important contribution to a main plot line.

The visuals are excellent with a number of great scenes on Qo'Nos that have well designed sets, nice cinematography with atmospheric lighting.

All performances are excellent with Michael Dorn, Tony Todd and the Klingon cast all on great form. Patrick Stewart is also superb as ever.

This is an 8.5/10 for me but I round upwards.
