Episode propaganda
General Martok (JG Hertzler) receives orders from the Klingon High Council to search for a Klingon vessel, the B'Moth, missing near the Cardassian border. The mission will be Martok's first since he escaped from a Dominion prison. Assigned a Klingon ship, the Rotarran, to command, he gets permission to take along Worf (Michael Dorn) as his First Officer, while Dax (Terry Farrell) joins them as the ship's Science Officer. They board their vessel and begin the search, only to discover that their crew is hardly the group of proud Klingon warriors they expected. Instead, it is an embittered ensemble whose morale has been destruction: by a series of punishing losses at the hands of the Jem'Hadar.

Intelligence report
Lots of Klingon stuff. Cultural education: shouting, shoving, hitting and stabbing.
I have always been disappointed in Klingons (as they've been shown) because they were too one-dimensional (a hangover from the days when someone had to try and make Shat look two-dimensional) but in this episode you see losers and winners and a greater variety of Klingon fashion. LeVar Burton's direction occasionally veers toward cheesy, but not too much.
