    Their swords into plowshares

    In the previous episode Worf is given information about Klingons who did not die at the infamous Kittimer massacre. One could be his father.

    When he investigates he finds that Klingons and Romulans are living together learning of all things agriculture. This offends Michael Dorn's Klingon soul and his very presence brings about a cultural counterrevolution.

    Best scene iks Worf with a Klingon boy on the hunt. When he's done the kid knowws what its like to be a Klingon.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Although James Cromwell (Jaglom Shrek) appears in this episode, he has no lines. This was, in part, due to Cromwell breaking his leg in the period between filming the two parts of the episode, which entailed cutting most of his lines. A sympathetic scene in which Shrek confesses he was once a prison inmate himself was lost, as was a scene in which he would have been assassinated by one of the Klingons' grown sons who was determined not to hear the truth about his father.
    • Goofs
      Shortly after the explosion in the Klingon-Romulan compound, Worf climbs over the wall to attempt an escape. As he does so, the top of the wall gives slightly, belying the stone from which it is supposed to be made.
    • Quotes

      L'Kor: Why did you come here Worf? If you had found your father, you would have found... only dishonor.

      Lieutenant Worf: If he had been captured, as you were, if I had found him here - I would be glad to see him. There is no room in my heart for shame.

      L'Kor: I can only hope that if *my* son came here - he would be Klingon enough to kill me.
