TNG - Reunion

Reunion, was an important episode to the overall story of The Next Generation. It even had an impact on subsequent Star Trek series, namely DS9. It sets the stage of the upcoming Klingon civil war, and the ongoing feud between the houses of Duras and Mogh. The episode also introduces the character of Alexander, another often recurring (and annoying) role. However, in order to change the direction of the Star Trek franchise we had to sit through scene after scene of watching K’ehleyr, a really annoying version of B’lanna Torres, argue with Worf, a major aspect of the episode I could have done without. This was not the only bickering in this episode. The confrontation between Duras and Gowron is similar, but with Klingon chest-thumping overtones, right up until the point where Worf puts Duras in his place, on the floor with a Bat’leth sticking out of him. Reunion may have been a very important episode that set the stage for many better ones to come, however, that does not mean that stands out on its own as good.
