Easily an S+. Tying together multiple stories from both The Emissary and Sins of the Father - themselves S-tier episodes - into something that will shape Worf and Star Trek indelibly moving forward. Plus, Gowrons eyes staring through your soul is not something that you'll forget 👀
Impossible to detach this episode from its place in continuity - S
The introduction of Gowron, one of my favorite Star Trek characters of all time. S Tier by itself, S+ because of Gowron.
And you thought the Alien franchise had the only chest buster. Wooorrrrrfffffff!!!!
Definitely A tier for me, but it’s always felt a little like 2 separate stories that the writers merged into one episode.
I love a good Klingon episode but this falls short for fridging Worf's love interest, kid is annoying but tolerable. I also feel like Worf wouldn't send him away as the honorable thing would be to take responsibility. A-
S tier for sure. Best Klingon episode too.
Brought down from S to A tier for the inclusion of Alexander
Can’t wait to see your reactions to this episode!! It’s like watching a Klingon Shakespearean tragedy! High drama, high stakes…and Picard has to decide the course of the Klingon Empire?! Absolutely bad ass!! With more lore for Worf, an S-Tier for certain!
Easy S tier.
Who the hell voted B-tier
Someone who isn't fond of Klingon politics!
Klingon children grow very, very fast compared to humans. I don't know if thats canon but its definitely my head canon. Otherwise its hard to explain how a 2 year old looks 4.
Head canon for sure, but makes evolutionarily sense as well. Q'onos is HOSTILE; you want to ween your young ASAP so you can teach them to defend themselves and hunt for the pack...
Time works differently in Star Trek
Specifically, time works differently for alien kids in Star Trek.
First S-tier of the season for me.
You will die, slowly...Duuurrraaassss. Love Gowron 😂
👀
A favorite guest character returns, with arguably an even better performance than before. More Klingon development, with real consequences this time. And what Worf does. Easy S tier.
And a new favorite guest character is launched: Gowron's eyes.
This has tipped from A into S over the years for me. Such a great episode.
Oh boy, y'all gonna have feelings about this one. Can't wait!
Went back and forth a little between S and A before settling on S. Even if you don't care for Klingons or The Moment of the episode I have trouble putting it any lower than A.
Oh…..guys You’re gonna love this one. Klingon Empire, Worf character building, it’s all setting up the end of the season.
That last part might be spoiler adjacent.
I posted this below to a response, but why isn’t an A+ the highest grade, like in school? What does “S” actually stand for? Is it like “Super” or something like that?
The whole idea of a "tier list" came from video game culture with heavy influence from Japan. That's where S comes from and also why many tier lists have an E between D and F.
I do not like the Klingon story lines but even I think this is an A
Agreed.
Who the hell voted for D?!?
Duras
Somewhere between A+ and S- The pure satisfaction from Duras getting his comeuppance automatically makes it above an A.
(They read these after the episode right?) I wanted to make sure because I was gonna post the same thing! Lol
If this isn't S, nothing is...
A+ to me. Everything can't be "S".
To be honest, A+ is the highest grade in school. I never really understood what “S” stood for. It should be A+ - F. Does the S stand for a word? I think A should be the highest letter, but its their call.
This one is full of twists. S-tier all the way.
