Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis episode was written in an effort to more fully integrate the character of Worf into the Deep Space Nine world. All of the fourth season episodes to that date, with the exception of The Way of the Warrior (1995), had been green-lit prior to the confirmation of Michael Dorn's arrival, and as such, Worf tended to be confined to the B-stories of these episodes, if he even figured in them at all. "The Sword of Kahless" was the first show put together after Worf joined the cast, and as such, the producers felt it should focus on him.
- GoofsWhen the Lethean attacks Kor, as he removes his hands from Kor's head the Klingon cranial prosthetic moves, shifting position on the actor's forehead.
- Quotes
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Kor! I have someone I'd like you to meet.
Kor: Oh?
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: I'd like you to meet our Strategic Operations Officer, Commander Worf.
Kor: Ah, Worf the traitor. The pariah. The lowest of the low!
[long tense pause, then his face turns into a smile]
Kor: It's a pleasure to meet you.

Featured review
Nasty, icky Sword (Bat'leth) of Kahless.
This episode begins with Kor (John Colicos) on DS9 spinning drunken tales of glory. You might remember this character from earlier in the series ("Blood Oath") or from the original "Star Trek" ("Errand of Mercy")--but it isn't necessary for you to have seen these prior episodes. Suffice to say, this old warrior is more a drinking machine than much of a hero any more. However, his stories about how he might be on the trail of the legendary Sword of Kahless might just turn out to have something to it--and some others are also very interested in following Kor and his friends, Worf and Jadzia Dax to the location of this legendary weapon. However, surprisingly, there is SOMETHING about this weapon, as after they find it, it sets them against each other. What gives?!
All in all, this is a decent episode but not much more. I did once again love seeing the great evil villain character actor John Colicos once again and any Worf episode is worth seeing.
