I'm sure many would disagree, but this is the first episode of TNG which I would describe as good, or indeed watchable at all. Up to this point it's a confused mess of cheesy storytelling and awkward dialogue. The Klingon stories are always fun, and while this isn't the first Klingon focused episode of the series, it's certainly setting the template for what was to come. It looks great and benefits from the excellent Klingon ship set built for the feature films.
I actually remember the first time I saw this episode, late night on Sky One. I was a kid and should have been in bed but I was captivated by it, and recognised it as being of higher quality.
Riker is totally on form, showing his ability to adapt and even have fun with whatever situation is thrown at him. Great to see Brian Thompson in his first of several Trek roles, too.
