TNG: A Matter of Honor

[Trek Talk]

tng_matter_of_honor.jpg

In another very well written episode TNG: A Matter of Honor we once again get to see one of the Enterprise regulars stretch a bit. This time it is Jonathan Frakes's turn to show some range as Riker gets to serve on an officer exchange program aboard a Klingon cruiser. This delightful opportunity to see life aboard a Klingon ship gave me hope when I heard about the suggestion to make an all-Klingon series (which was later nixed in favor of "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995)).

Yes, this was a overall good episode. Although the Klingon captain was rather unfortunately casted, and consequently I spent the whole episode looking at him as a reincarnated Pakled.

Hey! 'kshatriyahgirl' is one of my names! What's going on here?

Didn't you make the first post? It has your return address on it...

I most certainly did not!

Would it be that hard to fake it? aNYbody can read the email addresses ...

Yeah, I know that now, but I didn't when I posted my first comments. Well, nobody use my email address anymore, y'hear?

Not hard to do, just kind of weird. Why would someone make a commment and use someone else's email address? Be sure you don't select 'Remember Info' at the bottom if you are using a public computer that someone else might use. Also let me know if you see another faked posting, I can tell where every posting originates if I need to.

The best part of this episode is when Riker eats the gagh and all that otehr stuff on the Enterprise, and grosses out Picard and Troi ... Oh, and the stare-down between him and the Klingon captain. This is a good episode. Well scripted.

I like it when Riker says "Yesterday, I did not know how to eat gagh" and eats the live gagh like the other Klingons. The Mendon subplot was also interesting. Love the Benzites. And I promise, this isn't just an oblique way of saying I love any and all scenes with Wesley.
Also, this one was actually before 'Samaritan Snare', so it would actually be that the Pakled
guy was a reincarnated Klingon. But whatever...

Though I would expect the officer exchange program premise to be fascinating, I actually was a little bored by this one, though it was a good watch-once episode.

This was a very interesting episode! It might have gotten a little bit boring if all they had was the stuff on the Klingon ship (the Klingons can get tiresome if there's too much of them in a episode) but they quite wisely had the Mendon subplot to round out the show.
