Romulans! Finally! And mayhaps some Klingons?

Haha! That was a nifty little scene about what and how Geordi sees, and while Picard behaves like an excited schoolboy, Riker has to be the adult in the room and get the mission back on track :D

This was a decent episode, if a bit anticlimactic. It was a pretty good character study of Worf, in which you learn he’s a third-culture kid who was raised by humans after his family was killed by Romulans at Khitomer. So when two renegade Klingons come aboard the Enterprise talking about battle and glory, Worf gets a bit misty-eyed. Worf, of course, chooses not to join the criminals, but still gives the last one a Klingon death (and I guess we’re supposed to feel pity for them, warriors in a time of peace, but they did kill some security officers who probably had families, so fuck that noise). Also, are all Klingons this poetic? (The answer is yes, of course they are.)
This episode also featured bits of the "Klingon Battle Theme" from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and it was awesome. That’s one of my favorite pieces of music, and I recognized it immediately by just a few strains.
I was wrong about the Romulans. They are still no-shows, and I actually only realized when starting this episode that neither they nor the Klingons had showed up at all this entire season (Worf himself being the exception).
Fashion Talk: Klingon uniforms are the friggin’ best.
