The comment about Klingons not caring about intentions should be removed. The hearing is being conducted according to Federation law (as Worf is a Federation citizen and Starfleet officer) and Federation law certainly does care about intent as well as action. The Klingon advocate is simply working within the necessary confines of the Federation legal system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.184.100.228 (talk) 07:24, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See Also

[edit]

I just tweaked the See Also reference to The Undiscovered Country, but I honestly don't see the relevance to an arbitrary episode of DS9 just because Worf is in it. It is better included in the articles about Worf or Michael Dorn, and indeed is already in both. If anyone reads this and agrees, go and delete the reference entirely and we'll call it consensus. -- PaulxSA (talk) 06:33, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

4th wall, documentary-style

[edit]

It’s most likely noteworthy to mention that this episodes makes use of unusual dramatic effects.

Interviewees are breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly into the camera, as if being interviewed in a documentary.

For Star Trek, this is an extremely rare means of dramaturgy, which makes this episode outstanding from this viewpoint. -- WA1TF0R 18:48, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The DeCandido review already cited in the article mentions it; you could use that as a source to add a reference to it to the article. AJD (talk) 20:22, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
