I would have to think about it a bit, but I think this is my favorite reaction of yours so far to TNG. I am glad you enjoyed the episode so much.

Twas indeed a spicy episode this week. Most enjoyable to see how much you enjoyed it, Jess. We start with a good poker scene. I too love the poker scenes. It’s like the good poker scenes on M*A*S*H. M*A*S*H and Next Gen, two great shows with great poker scenes. You got to love it. And yeah, Deanna would clean up. The big highlight is the guest appearance of Suzie Plakson as K’Ehleyr, whose name you said right. We previously saw Suzie as Lieutenant Selar. She was good there, and she was DAMN good here. A Twisted Sister video is an apt comparison to K’Ehleyr’s outfit by the way. I share your usual thing of not being overly fond of the rushed romances, especially when done poorly, though you acknowledge how the complaint is not as strong when it is a pre-existing romance as it is here. In this scenario, it WORKS as you discovered. What a delight it is to see your strong investment in that. It feels like Michael and Suzie took time off camera to work out some details of the backstory to make their performances better. They put in the work. You could cut the tension with a bat’leth, to borrow a common joke I’ve heard. You mentioned noting that as well. My one quip past a point was, “The holodeck’s available in case either of you are interested. Alternatively, hit a pillow. Just hit the pillow, see how ya feel.” That poor table though. LOVE Marina getting some good deliveries of Deanna having dry moments of sass, such as her line about said table. Sweet how K’Ehleyr has a small chuckle at that too. And it was great how you got a laugh at that too. Similarly, it is sweet how Deanna mentions her own heritage and somewhat bonds with K’Ehleyr about that. The holodeck scene is memorable, and when you said, “The foreplay.” I deadpanned, “Like I said, the holodeck’s available.” I hear you on loving how your sympathy is in equal measure that you get how K’Ehleyr doesn’t wish to be tied down, yet you do feel for Worf. I was a bit mean when Worf asks would K’Ehleyr dishonor the sacred traditions, I note, “Well, I wouldn’t put it all on her, Worf, you were, after all, there as well when things happened. Yes?” It is great to see Picard’s determination to have a peaceful outcome to the mission. Whilst you are understanding of K’Ehleyr’s less than optimistic appraisal of the situation, it is the great strength of Picard that he prefers exhausting all possible options for a peaceful resolution and does not resort to more permanent measures, nor does he kill anyone that he does not have to. The big climactic scene is great. During said scene, I saw and heard the one crewman, I did a double take, saying, “Wait. Is that Diedrich Bader? It is! Fuckin’ A, Man!” Heard Diedrich himself commented on it once, saying, “Loved that gig. I hadn’t eaten in a while, and I ate like a prince and stole cold cuts in a donut box.” I LIVED for your reaction to the reveal of Worf’s strategy. Worf did the damn thing and Michael sold it well. You showcase how sharp you are, Jess, in that you caught the deliberate thematic element of the poker game when Worf says that Klingons don’t bluff, and how he demonstrates in the end, they do not. He never bluffed. He never lied. He merely implied, posed leading questions, and never corrected the other Klingon captain. Thus, there we have it: Worf demonstrated how Klingons do not bluff. Tis a shared thing in many cultures like the Sith for instance. In the ways of the Sith, there’s no such thing as a lie. There’s only the expedient exaggeration. With occasional dabbling in the art of bullshit. The Klingons, like the Vulcans adhere to a similar philosophy as demonstrated so beautifully here. That last scene, I have zero romantic experience, my brain and temperament would presumably be unsuited to give advice even if I had. I could see me doing what Worf attempted to by letting K’Ehleyr leave without saying a word. She calls him out on that, I felt called out, and in his place, if I’m ever in such a situation, I would briefly bemoan, “...I was just inches from a clean getaway.” I like how you kind of talked sternly to them to have their parting words, and I lived for your reaction to the aforementioned parting words. Two other small notes. Worf mentioning how he finds there are those who use humor as a shield makes me curious what he would make of the 4077th and the doctors, nurses, and other personnel there. The other note: With this episode, you can see how the show is slowly phasing out Dr. Pulaski, or at least not giving her much to do anymore. Feel sorry for Diana on that. She does have the fun poker scene, that’s something. All in all, a lovely Next Gen reaction, Jess. One of your best. Thank you very much, it was most enjoyable.

This is one my favourite episodes from season 2. "K'Ehleyr, I will not be complete without you" No matter how many times I rewatch this episode, that line gets me everytime for some reason. (Love the hairstyle you've got for this reaction)

Jenny Chalek

I adore this entire running subplot for Worf. Then again, I love any episodes that are heavily character-centric. K'Ehleyr is one of my favorite characters on Next Gen.

Remember when The Schizoid Man had that Vulcan doctor Selar who was intended to be a love interest for Worf, but then they decided against it? Well, waste not want not, so here's Suzie Plakson back as a Klingon with almost the same name, as a love interest for Worf. Kind of the same unfortunate vibe as "Let's put Martha and Mickey together just because they're both black," but luckily in this case we get a whole episode for her and Dorn to establish their chemistry and let us see how they make sense together. The one other thing I have to note is that the whole arrival by probe thing is pretty naked padding for when they couldn't quite stretch the script to full episode length, but at least it's a big step up from just smashing two totally different episodes together, like we've seen this show is not above doing.
