- GoofsIn Sickbay after the accident, Dr. Crusher tells Worf that the falling barrel shattered seven of his vertebrae and crushed his spinal cord. However, during the operation, when Worf's spine is removed and placed into the genitronic replicator, it looks remarkably intact and shows no damaged vertebrae.

Alexander Rozhenko: This is part of that Klingon stuff, isn't it? My mother always said Klingons had a lot of dumb ideas about honor.

Featured review
Klingon values
In the original Star Trek series the Klingons were presented as a just a simple race who just liked to fight. But with TNG and the addition of Michael Dorn as Worf, a crewman on the Enterprise we got a far fuller picture of Klingon values.
Dorn is injured and he is looking at a possible life of paralysis. Dr. Crusher says in time he can regain 60% of his mobility. But that's not good enough, a Klingon is whole or he's nothing in his culture.
Time for a consultant and a futuristic neurologist in Caroline Kava is called in. Gates McFadden and her have some professional and personal differences that are part of the story.
The rest is Worf trying to decide what to do and not having other Klingons around he's not given much support.
These are the moments that counselor Troi is called in. Every time I watch Marina Sirtis I wish our school guidance counselors were like her.
