These should never get old, but according to some contributors, all plots should be new.
"Seven Samurai" has been done over and over again. There's a good reason for this. It is an intriguing story. To date, there have been two movies credited to Kurosawa. "Seven Samurai," and "The Magnificent Seven."
There are some key differences here. First, no one dies. Second, there are seven bad guys; not good guys. But the premise is largely the same. Bullies are taught a lesson. That's basically it.
It is still entertaining, hero stories generally are. I think it's better than the 6.9, aggregate score, which is why I gave it an eight.
Someone commented that the Klingons aren't very good at tactics. This is ultimately why the Federation eventually prevails.
These are not the first species in the sci-fi world who "scream and then leap," The episode should not be slighted because of it.
It is still an exciting episode. And I doubt anyone wants to see the Klingons represented differently.
