Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of J.G. Hertzler's (Martok) favorite episodes. In fact he thought it had the best script he had ever read on the show. He loved the way Martok gets to show a spiteful, vindictive side - one we don't often see in the honorable Klingon warrior.
- GoofsDarok brings a tray of food to Kor's bunk, after having heard Worf's plan to sacrifice himself to save the squadron. Kor says he is not hungry, but Darok tells him that, "The food is for me. I haven't eaten in hours." He then does not eat the food during his conversation with Kor, nor take it with him when he leaves.

Featured review
Enjoyable Klingon episode
Kor comes to DS9 looking for a purpose.
I like episodes focussed on Klingon culture and this is a pretty good story for Kor, Martok and Worf. It has an engaging conflict between two characters that makes for solid drama.
Since TNG, I think the Klingon characters have been Star Trek's way having having its cake and eating, in a show predominantly featuring peace-loving characters, by indulging their appetites for stories about warrior codes and the glory of battle. Themes about historical legends come through strongly.
The weakest part for me is the ending. Not just the predictability of it, but how little investment is made in the production values. Considering the build-up given to a certain moment of glory, it is poor that we are just given a verbal explanation of the event and no effort is made to show it.
J. D. Hertzler, John Colicos, Michael Dorn, and Neil Vipond all make great Klingons and all give entertaining performances.
