YMMV / Star Trek Deep Space Nine S 04 E 01 E 02 The Way Of The Warrior

• Canon Fodder: Worf tells Sisko he was having a hard time around humans after the destruction of the Enterprise-D. That is expanded upon in the Peter David novel Triangle: Imzadi II. The novel also explains the end of Worf's relationship with Deanna Troi and why he was with the clerics of Boreth.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • The holoprogram that Dax and Kira were in when the met Worf is plainly a Camelot program, with Kira as Guinevere. When Lancelot kissed her, she knocked him out. Star Trek: Picard would later introduce Cristobal Rios, portrayed by Santiago Cabrera, who also appeared in Merlin (2008)... as Lancelot. Kira knocked out Rios!
  • Worf mourning the loss of the Enterprise-D seems a lot funnier when Star Trek: Picard revealed Geordi had been restoring her for 20 years... and all Worf can do is complain that he preferred the weapons systems on the Enterprise-E (and that what happened to her was not his fault).
• Narm Charm: Worf shouting "You must think me a fool to make your lies so transparent" is a bit of an awkwardly-written line, but Michael Dorn sells it pretty well.
• Special Effects Failure: The same group of Klingons beams into command a half-dozen times.
• Strawman Has a Point: In hindsight, the Klingons have a good point about stopping ships leaving Bajoran space and searching them for Changelings. At the this point it's obvious the Dominion is infiltrating the Alpha Quadrant in preparation for war so it's kind of baffling the Federation isn't already more strictly regulating traffic coming through the wormhole and requiring ships to submit to inspection.
• Values Resonance: While the idea of a major power starting a war on shaky grounds and their allies being left with the difficult choice to follow them or not wasn't exactly something new even when the episode first aired, like a great deal of the rest of the show it particularly struck a chord with fans in the new millennium, particularly in the wake of the U.S.'s 2003 invasion of Iraq.
