C’mon those teachers have to have training dealing with much more ferocious species. Perhaps there’s a Horta in the room.

On fan reaction to the episode, Ron Moore recalled, “All the comments were I loved the show, but why did you have to kill off K’Ehleyr? That’s usually the only comment I get. I loved it and I think it works just fine and if that wasn’t there you’d be missing a big part of the story where Worf has to embrace his son in the end and finally getting to go after Duras.”
Soooo, Ron Moore has always been evil.
I love how Kempec manipulates Picard. I’m fairly certain he’s one of the few people in the galaxy to ever manage it.
I love how K’mpec continues to drink the wine. I would be the same. I’m already screwed, go out enjoying it.
You were before the hour! I saw you posting at 9:58 my time…
I hadn’t thought of it that way but you’re right
“I don’t want to be a warrior.”
And so it begins.
What’s the worst that could happen? A kid mistake’s the Horta’s lunch as a rock collection and gets burned?
Ooo Ooo! I didn’t know you were fraking this tonite.
Time check, or betting yet YouTube part check please
Alexander is SO CUTE!
And him walking along with Worf is just precious
(and i just got to that don’t want to be a warrior line)
Kiss my arse, Duras!
That’s right, Worf. Don’t turn around.
In this episode, K’Ehleyr is offered a seat on the High Council; yet in TNG: “Redemption” and subsequent episodes, it is said that women may not serve on the Council. Concerning the place of women, Ronald D. Moore commented:
“I co-wrote both “Reunion” (in which K’Ehleyr was offered the Council seat) and DS9: “The House of Quark” (in which Grilka was told she could not serve on the Council because she’s a woman). The reason for the change was: a) to service a plot element in “House of Quark”; and b) to differentiate the Klingons from the UFP and the Romulans. The idea was that the Klingons were a traditionally patriarchal society and that while many elements of that have disappeared over the years, the Council itself was still the province of male warriors. This is not an endorsement of that idea, but rather an attempt to make them different than us. For example, their government is not a democracy, but rather an oligarchy ruled by powerful Houses, with an Emperor as head of state and we certainly aren’t promoting that either! It’s an alien society with alien values and we shouldn’t be able to identify with all aspects of their culture. That said, I’ve always tried to treat Klingon men and women with a great deal of respect and have never tried to show the female warriors of the Empire as any less worthy or respected than their male counterparts. No male Klingon would ever question for even a moment the notion of serving under a woman on a ship, or fighting with them at his side”.
“There is no delay. It is the time I have chosen.”
Boo-yah.
The old Klingon was in Star Trek V if memory serves—or rather the same actor playing kinda a similar character.
“That’s Gowron.”
Love that guy.
Same actor. Different character.
He was General Korrd in Star Trek V.
Unfortunately, that didn’t last.
I would say… the plot! It’s all about the plot!
This episode also marks the first appearance of the Vor’cha-class attack cruiser, the first Klingon vessel designed for any of the spin-off series. Due to budget constraints, earlier episodes reused footage or used models of the K’t’inga-class battle cruiser or the Klingon Bird-of-Prey built for the movies.
There are a bunch of firsts in this episode.
Whoa there Badger, did not need to see that.
Oh, Gowron…
