Worf Rejects True Klingonism
26 February 2020
Warning: Spoilers
In "Redemption II" with the Klingon civil war threatening to ruin the Federation's relationship with the Empire, Picard proposes that Star Fleet take action. Under the suspicion that the Romulans are aiding the Duras family in the battle, Picard sets up a blockade of ships to stop any Romulan supply runs, even if they're cloaked. Picard comes face to face with the daughter of Tasha Yar, a Romulan Commander in charge of this whole proxy war.

Meanwhile Word tries to keep his faction United as internal strife threatens to splinter his side of the civil war.

This episode is so dense with plot that I just realized my synopsis doesn't even talk about Data's whole subplot involving him captaining his own ship with a reluctant crew. I really enjoyed all these storylines and how they all tie together in the end, complete with a nice bow.

My only eye-roll moment was when Data's first officer calls him captain for the first time. That was pretty saccharine. But beyond that, this episode is a pretty stellar conclusion to a great season finale.
