Did you know
- TriviaPatrick Stewart only appears in the first observation lounge scene. This was due to Stewart's being scheduled to Patrick Stewart/Salt-N-Pepa (1994) during the same week of filming.
- GoofsOn the outpost during the festival, Dr. Crusher asks Worf what "Molor" is saying, since he is speaking in Klingon. What happened to the ubiquitous universal translator?

Lieutenant Worf: [showing Lursa and B'Etor a knife] This was dropped by one of the assassins. It bears the crest of your house.
Lursa: Someone must have given it to the assassins to implicate us.
Counselor Deanna Troi: Why would someone do that?
B'Etor: In order to tarnish our good name.
Lieutenant Worf: You cannot tarnish a rusted blade.

Featured review
Sort of Interesting Klingon Stuff
Worf seems to never have made a commitment to his role as security officer. He has exhibited great distress over his connection to his son, who looks totally Klington but is pretty much basking in his white genes. He is a resistant little guy and Worf has designs for him to be a warrior. As the episode moves along, Alexander begins to become enthralled with Klingon stuff, but when push comes to shove, he moves back to his less aggressive self. This whole warrior thing and dying with honor seems sort of archaic, almost mythological in scope. A stranger enters the lives of the two and begins to bang the drum for Alexander to embrace his Klingon being, even suggesting that he go to a Klingon prep school (I wonder if they wear blazers). There is much more to this, however, and it ends on an interesting note. We also get to see the tussle between Worf's warrior side and the tender side of his role as father.
