'Heart of Glory' - S1E20

In this episode we talk about 'Heart of Glory'. An episode that more than meets the eye with subsequent viewings once TNG and DS9 have wrapped up. This is related to the broadening of Klingon culture with this episode, while importantly, raising questions about the Federation/Klingon alliance before Star Trek 6 came out.

We also talk about unevenness with the setup to the episode's main storyline, Roddenberry's 'No conflict rule", this being a Worf focused episode, Picard's arc playing with dangerous materials, Tasha Yar is side-lined again, Klingons can make weapons from random items on their uniform, and much more.
