* DidntThinkThisThrough: The three renegade Klingons soon discovered that stealing a small, lightly armed freighter to go on their little warrior's quest wasn't the wisest move, when the Klingons sent a fully-armed cruiser after them. Played with in that the renegades actually ''did'' destroy the cruiser with some clever tactics, but Kunivas was mortally injured and the freighter was left severely damaged and on the verge of a warp core breach, with only the timely arrival of the ''Enterprise'' saving Korris and Konmel.

* SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: Geordi wears a special attachment to his VISOR, allowing Picard and the rest of the bridge to "see" like he does. When Picard asks how he filters out the SensoryOverload, Geordi compares it to how you listen for one voice in a crowded room. Geordi is surprised to hear that regular vision doesn't produce a halo around Data, despite briefly having it in "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E9HideAndQ Hide and Q]]."

Later seasons show him to be familiar enough with human customs/culture that he can explain to Data what usually goes on at a human wedding.

** Korris speaks of traitors of 'Kling,' presumably meaning the Klingon homeworld, later established as Qo'nos (pronounced "Kronos"). Using 'Kling' for the name of the homeworld probably made sense right up until people heard Korris speak it out loud. (Unless it's some kind of archaic or poetic name for the homeworld that's only occasionally used by modern Klingons, like [[PlanetTerra "Terra" for Earth]].)

If that's the case, then it would fit with how Korris and Konmel are trying to recreate the Klingon Empire's glory days.
* TastesLikeFriendship: When Worf shows Korris and Konmel to their temporary quarters, they get three servings of pipias claw and tea and try to "test" Worf before warming up to him, clearly trying to get him on their side. Worf averts the trope, as he doesn't touch the food they give him, and looks suspicious for most of their meal (probably suspecting that they weren't telling the truth).

** Korris claims that the ''Batris'' was attacked by a Ferengi vessel armed with Klingon weapons, something which seems like an absurd lie given what we know about the Ferengi. This is in fact a remnant of one of the original ideas for the Ferengi, namely that they'd acquired much of their technology by purchasing or stealing it (something later re-used for the Pakleds in the following season). Then again... [=DaiMon=] Lurin pulled something similar with the TNG episode 'Rascals."

I removed one of the examples under Early Instalment Weirdness. This referenced the idea that Korris, Konmel and the Klingon captain were unfamiliar with and happy to associate with Worf and contrasted this with later episodes where Worf would be established as a member of the dishonoured House of Mogh. The example argued that this was always common knowledge on the homeworld. However, this is not correct. The House of Mogh was not dishonoured until the episode “Sins of the Father” in Season 3. All later episode were consistent on the point that Worf was not dishonoured at the time when this episode was set, so this is simply a plot development, not Early Instalment Weirdness.

** Korris, Konmel and the Klingon captain seem unfamiliar with Worf, and even try to get him to join them so he can be brought back into Klingon society. This is in contrast to later episodes where, after being established as a member of the dishonoured House of Mogh (which was always common knowledge on the homeworld), most Klingons who visit aboard the Enterprise are familiar with Worf, and refuse to associate with him.
