That's one of the best episodes of season one and two. It starts with this awesome premise: an exchange program. Who came up with that idea (in Starfleet and in the writers' room)? It's just a great motivation to show more of both Riker and Klingons. Riker is great. It's also the first time that the Star Trek franchise really tells you more about the inner organization of the Klingon fleet. Fascinating. Stage design looks good. Building the sets for the Klingon ship must have been relatively expensive. Thus I believe that this episode must have been important to them.

Watching Riker struggling during his Erasmus year is also fun and entertaining. But given the circumstances he does pretty well I must admit.
