'Sins of the Father' has the distinction of being the single most overused title for a TV episode in history. Second maybe to "Pilot", but it feels like every single TV show has an episode with this name; a total cliché. Add to that my lack of favor with Worf, and this episode didn't have me overexcited. But I absolutely underestimated it because it's another high point for this season.
We learn so much here, whether it's Klingon law or Worf's heritage. Not only does he discover a sibling, but the integrity of his very bloodline rests at the mercy of a kangaroo court. In the end, good prevails, but at a high cost. And even though it's Worf's story, it's Patrick Stewart who owns this. His intensity is perfect, and Picard's moments with Worf really underlines the bond between a captain and his crewman.
It's great drama.
8/10
