Good ranks in the poll, but everyone in the comments really seem to hate this one. I really don't know why. I think it's a high B. I really don't have any major complaints. I think Worf handled the situation beautifully. He realized he can't put the genie back in the bottle, so he does what he does best. Be honest.
Good idea for another episode. Probably should have let it cook longer
Dunno why people are mad with this one, Worf effectively seperates the church from the state here. He does this to stop duplicitous politicians from using the myths of their people to manipulate the morality of the mob, and instead appoints a figurehead icon to embody the mythological ideal so politicians would stop hypocritically swaying the masses with it while going against it- OHHHHH. 😏🙃
So just to review, there is apparently confusion in the comments because a majority of Trek fans think an episode of TNG that focuses on a popular character (Worf), digs into the lore of a popular race (Klingons), brings back a popular guest character (Gowron), and deals with a complicated issue (faith) is... good.
Only gave it a C because of Gowron (I love him) otherwise would have been lower score. Seems to be the consensus here with many of us.
A definite B- and not a particularly great Klingon episode considering who is involved in the storyline?: that's supposed to be Kahless the unforgettable, who first appeared in the original series I think? Not sure.,. anyway I wasn't impressed and they shouldn't have Worf deciding what other Klingons will do he needs to stay on the Enterprise where he belongs helping his buddy Ryker like a Random exemple point when he went to help Ryker rescue his transgender girlfriend like in the Outcast? That's just one example all I'm saying is I really like that when he helps his friends and shipmates! 🕯️ I like whenever Worf really helps a friend he's such a good guy so this is such a weak episode I barely gave it a B - or a C think I was being kind but I won't change it to a c because I really love Worf and his character he's a real good Klingon! 🌸
RIKER.
Over half giving this a B tier? More than a quarter giving it an S or A tier? This is the first time I have actually been properly shocked by something on this Patreon. I've always thought that I was being extremely generous when I described this episode as mid. I don't know how anyone can watch the other Klingon episodes and say with a straight face that this piece of shit is on the same level. I'm not even mad about it. I just want to understand why this episode appeals to people. It just isn't computing for me.
A definite B minus or a c
Love Gowron but not the episode. C episode if I’m being fair. But a personal E
My thoughts exactly.
C for crazy Gowron eyes making a return. I find the performances solid but the entire premise of this episode I just find incredibly dumb
:eyes:
Easy B. Like the performance of Kahless, and the scene where Gowron challenges him is great (What color were HIS EYES!). Probably doesn't go over as well with people who aren't big on the concept of faith, but it still is a good Klingon episode. Engage!
B for Boreth. It's fine... Not a "Sins of the Father"-tier Klingon episode though.
I was going to give it an A, but you convinced me. I'm not going to confess whether it's because of rhyming the letters or because of comparing it to "Sins of the Father." 🤣
The only thing that raises this antichrist Kahless episode up from an E tier is Gowron.
Will always be an S-Tier for me! S as in “Spiritual”! 🖖
S tier for me. A great Worf episode.
"What does that little one do, Mister Woof?" "Please, Madame! That is a torpedo launch initiator, and, it is Word, Madame, not Woof."
