A two parter and DS9 crossover. Bashir waltzes on to the ship without bye or leave bringing some daft contraption with him, which promptly electrocutes Data. Fortunately for us, instead of blowing Data's head off JFK style, it actually jump starts his hitherto unknown "dream program", so Bashir can skip off into the sunset knowing all's well that end's well. The dream sequences are effectively executed which makes this Data story work very well.
Worf is in a bind as James Cromwell, with his head is buried deep in a plastic alien prosthesis, says his dad is alive and for a "price" he knows where he is. So after alot of shoving, pushing and Worfesque harumphing, Worf finally agrees to go off to find this colony and sure enough they find it. Turns out, Worf has dodged a bullet as his dad is in fact dead (phew!) but there's this colony of Romulans and Klingons who agreed to escape the dishonour of getting caught and so they set up a colony where they now all get along.
Worf isn't for having any of this pacifist malarky at all. So he goes full revolutionary and starts preaching the old Klingon ways, stirring the hearts of the curious youngsters there, eventually culminating in split society and a tense stand off with the colony leadership. ,
This two parter - well the Worf part of it anyway - has received mixed reviews from fans. But I like it. Dorn plays the revolutionary well and his pleas for Klingon culture are persuasive. Educating the young Klingons on hunting are cool scenes too and I love a good sing-a-long. But it's a trying experience for Worf as he stumbles to make sense of the mixed heritage Ba'el. his love interest here. Equally, the colony that's been set up, is a very worthy peace project so there's a genuine and real tension as the two world's collide with both sides having a good case for themselves.
