Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMichael Dorn summarizes this episode by saying "the Klingons had finally gone nuts, basically."
- GoofsSeveral times, Klingonese is spoken and needs to be translated for the Starfleet/Bajoran officers by either Worf or Dax. All Starfleet and Bajoran personnel are equipped with a universal translator in the combadge, which is presumably how they understand most of what the Klingons say. There is no reason that a few simple phrases should go untranslated and require a native/fluid speaker to interpret.
- Quotes
Lt. Commander Worf: Curzon's name is an honored one among my people.
[Curzon was the Dax symbiont's previous host, and was central to peace negotiations between the Federation and the Klingon Empire]
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: [in Klingon] Yeah, but I'm a lot better looking than he was.
Lt. Commander Worf: I suppose so. Excuse me.
Major Kira: [after Dax has spoken to Worf in Klingon] What did you say to him?
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: It loses something in the translation.
- Alternate versionsOriginally aired as a double-length two-hour episode, "The Way of the Warrior" was cut into two parts for repeats and syndication. To make room for the credits sequence and a "previously on" segment in the second part, several scenes had to be cut. The DVD release contains the original long version.

The show begins with Worf begin transferred, at least temporarily, to DS9 because some problems are now brewing with the Klingons around the wormhole. They have arrived en masse on the station and they are in a VERY argumentative mood. Why all the posturing and anger on the part of the Klingons? What is their goal? And how does this all fit into the wicked Founders' plans?
This show is decent because LOTS happens and there is lots of action. On the other hand, the show is NOT especially logical and Sisko's intervention in the Cardassian-Klingon war makes little sense--nor does his risking everything to save Dukat and the Cardassian council. Sitting back and just letting things take their course would have made a lot more sense. Plus, how is it that Sisko wasn't taken up on charges for his latest insubordination?!
By the way, in a tiny role aboard the Defiant you see Patricia Tallman--the same lady who would begin playing Lyta the telepath on "Babylon 5"this same year. Several other Trek actors would also appear on "Babylon 5" and vice-versa over the years, such as Andreas Katsulas playing a recurring role as a Cardassian on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as well as a regular role on "Babylon 5". So, for fans of both franchises, this is a particularly noteworthy episode.
