REVIEW 2022

Warning: Spoilers
Data's got the night shift again, but we've missed three separate spectral analyses by the lateral sensor arrays on the Alawanir Nebula. I cannot help but feel cheated.

Meanwhile Worf hasn't turned-up for duty. Just what does a Klingon get up to when he's not at work?

Worf's feeling empty. He's still fretting over what happened at the Carraya System as we remember it from the earlier season six episode: Birthright part II. Is Worf losing faith in Kahliss? Sto-vo-kor?

It's been a long time since we visited the Klingon home world, perhaps we'll get a chance to visit with Worf.

Torva... luk... do... shell. Torva... luk... do... shell.

The good news is, we have a living deity, or is this an imposter. Gowron will no-doubt, soon found out.

I always prefer the stories involving Klingon's and this is a very good one. The political machinations and power struggles are forever present and make for entertaining story-telling. Brilliant. One of my favourite TNG and Klingon tales.

As I am in the process of completing a review of the entire TNG run of 176 episodes, I did set about this task with the intention of setting out the wheat from the chaff. There have been some exceptional episodes during the run to-date, but there have also been some turkeys. I also wanted to identify any of those episodes that could be said to form an arc. These could either be Borg arc, Data-Lore Arc, Klingon arc, or even DS9 arc.

This Episodes Clue: Steve Martin, Debra Winger, Liam Neeson, Lolita Davidovich

(Answer's to all episode clues will appear in the reviews of season seven, episode 25: All Good Things, Part One.)
