* AuthorsSavingThrow: Creator/GeneRoddenberry never liked that he used the Klingons as the "Race of Black Hats" in [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries The Original Series]], and thus made Worf as a Klingon main character and this episode completely redefined their place as a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race]].

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: One of many examples by Ron Jones -- in this case, the BGM in certain scenes with Worf and Korris subtly hint at the primal nature within Worf's heart, helped by the return of Jerry Goldsmith’s Klingon theme from ''[[Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture]]'' and prominently heard during Korris’ escape from the brig and the subsequent phaser shootout. However, the highpoint of the score has to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCQr1mwii2A "Geordi-Vision"]], an absolutely beautiful piece that plays when Geordi activates the visual acuity transmitter, allowing the others to see the world through his eyes.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Narm}}: The StaggeredZoom effect used when Worf does the death howl for Korris always looked silly at best, but the resulting similarity to the later "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOk4hQXbGDs MENDOZA!]]" scene from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' renders it utterly impossible to take seriously nowadays.

* WhatAnIdiot:
** The ''Enterprise'' rescues a group of Klingons from an exploding freighter, which they claim to have been attacked by a Ferengi ship which they managed to destroy in a CrazyEnoughToWork gambit. Worf, however, points out that he analysed the weapons signatures on the freighter before it exploded, and that they were those of Klingon disruptors. The leader of the group, Korris, tries to claim that the Ferengi ship was armed with Klingon weaponry.\\
'''You'd Expect''': That Picard would immediately see through Korris's explanation as the pathetic lie that it clearly is,[[note]](the writers' original intention was that the Ferengi had acquired much of their military technology by purchasing or stealing it. This info never made it on-screen however, making it appear that Picard's just holding the IdiotBall in this episode)[[/note]] throw him and his colleague Konmel in the brig (the third member of the group is severely injured and being held in sickbay), and then contact the Klingons to try and find out if they know anything.\\
'''Instead''': To his credit, Picard actually doesn't buy into Korris's claims, but he also decides that he doesn't have enough proof to put him in the brig. So, he just palms them off to Worf. Later on in the episode, after the injured Klingon expires, Korris admits that what Worf clearly suspects is true: the ship that attacked the freighter ''was'' Klingon, and had been sent to recapture them.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Worf to immediately take Korris and Konmel into custody and then notify both Picard and the Klingon authorities.\\
'''Instead''': Not only does he not do that, he gives the two Klingons a tour of main engineering, which later goes pear-shaped when Korris escapes and tries to hold the whole ship hostage by threatening to shoot the warp core, eventually forcing Worf to kill him.
** The security officers make zero effort to take cover from the armed Klingons and in fact jump in to give the largest target possible.
** The Enterprise is examining a highly damaged ship under what they consider suspicious circumstances. They then spend most of the first act playing with Geordi's toy. This waste of time ultimately nearly costs the lives of Riker, Data and Geordi.

* HarsherInHindsight: Korris and his compatriots turn renegade out of frustration for the prolonged peace the Klingon Empire has enjoyed in their lifetimes. Had they waited just a few years, they would've gotten the chance to fight in a whole ''mess'' of wars: the Klingon Civil War, the Klingon-Cardassian War, a war with the Federation and the Dominion War.
