Plot

The leader of the Klingons, K'Mpec, is dying and asks for Picards help in finding which of his two successors - Duras and Gowron, poisoned him. Meanwhile, Worf has a reunion with his former mate, Ambassador K'Ehleyr, and their son.

Goofs

  • After K'Eyhlar dies, Alexander runs away. Worf lets out his primal scream. Then, we see her body being lowered to the floor. As she is finally settled, her eyes flutter open and closed several times (as, presumably, the actress, Suzie Plakson, "gets her bearings").
  • Also notice that her head is facing towards her left. However, when her body is shown full-on from the perspective of her feet (as Worf tells Alexander to "look at death, and never forget"), her head is facing slightly towards her *RIGHT*, and remains that way for the rest of the scene (a prime example of a scene being shot in several takes with the continuity person being asleep on the job).
  • Also, Dr. Crusher and her aide come from the bedroom, not from the corridor. Maybe they killed her...
  • When Worf kills Duras near the end of the episode the camera shows Duras's dead body and red blood coming from it. This is in conflict with Star Trek VI where the Klingons had pink blood.

Quotes

Alexander: "I don't want to be a warrior!"

Worf: "You know my feelings."
K'Ehleyr: "Maybe I've forgotten."

Gowron: "That could take hours!"
K'Ehleyr: "Or days, depending on your cooperation."

K'Ehleyr: "Don't play the wounded Klingon to me, Duras. You don't do it very well."

K'Ehleyr: "You talk like a Ferengi!"

Worf: "K'EHLEYR!"

Duras: "Kill me and you are a traitor forever!"
Worf: "Then that...is how it shall be!"

K'Mpec: "'All for the glory of the Klingon Empire'...that should be my epitaph."

Alexander: "Are you my father?"
Worf: "Yes...I am your father."

K'Ehleyr: "What shall I tell Alexander, that he has no father?"

K'Ehleyr: "The son who betrays his people to the Romulans, just like his father did."
