The Way of the Warrior DS9 Season 4, Episode 1

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 4 Episode 1 "The Way of the Warrior" explained. Join me as I review and recap the episode where Worf joins the crew and DS9 must face off against the Klingons for some reason. And that reason is: that the studio demanded it in a ploy in order to boost ratings, while not understanding that in the era of TNG Klingons work much better as an uneasy ally and not an enemy. The writers didn't like and weren't happy with these marching orders but they did the best they could with it by folding it into their existing Dominion arc. So the episode ends up being pretty good, but it's still way overrated and this whole Klingon conflict should have been a one off, they should have stopped here. And there's no need to repeat Worf's discommendation storyline, it's just repetitive. Come see my first reaction as I breakdown the episode and attempt to give my in depth analysis
