“Kahless appeared to me in a vision”
I pondered the meaning of his words
(reminds me of an Advent reading from Luke 2:19, But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart)
So Worf’s a mystic?
It’s also an interesting conflict given the way the Klingon empire storyline resolves at the close of DS9
This really is an interesting call back to Last Crusade
Worf’s visions were instrumental in Kahless’ “return”, of course. He’s a true believer, whether there’s any substance to his visions or not.
This episode was not a popular one amongst the fans, something which disappointed writer Hans Beimler and producer René Echevarria. What particularly disappointed them was the fact that many viewers were unable to accept the notion that the bat’leth itself had no actual power. According to Echevarria, “A lot of fan reaction was that there must be a tech explanation, that the sword must be emitting something. I was astonished.” Beimler explains Echevarria’s astonishment when he says, “the sword itself doesn’t have any magic. It’s the concept of the sword that has the power. We wanted to explore the notion that there were some dark streaks to be revealed within these characters. The minute anyone starts talking about the sword it starts infecting them, so Worf gets caught up from the very beginning.” Both men were disappointed that many fans missed this point, instead assuming that the Sword of Kahless had some mysterious power that simply wasn’t revealed in the episode.
Really? what were the fans so sure of? Obviously (to me) it’s the corruptible nature of us all and the temptations of power
Cool, LeVar Burton directed this episode.
Dax, make them stop being stupid!
I love that John Colicos plays Kor now just like he did in TOS
“but are we ready for it”
yeah basically not
“It was our destiny to find it. It just wasn’t our destiny to keep it” Nice, Kor.
Yes, but the ending seems to imply the very magic that they deny it possesses. Destiny? Who’s going to find a sword floating in space? Even in a thousand years, what are the chances?
Good times! I may or may not make Treksday next week since we’ll be traveling but we’ll see 
Thanks for joining me, Badger!
But is that just Worf affirming his faith? I don’t necessarily read it as something that will come to pass
Thanks for keeping it going in my absence.
