Star Trek: The Next Generation Reunion (1987–1994) watch online HD

When I saw Suzie Plakson's face appear on the screen shortly after a Klingon vessel had appeared I knew it was going to a brilliant episode. Keylehr comes aboard, son in tow and gives Worf the surprise of his life! A real fan pleaser of a moment where Worf faces his son for the first time! Worf refuses to acknowledge the boy as his own as it would harm him. But that does not detract from the Klingon political intrigue of this episode. With the present Klingon leader near death, two factions are vying for leadership of the Empire. Gowran, and Duras. When Kimpec, the leader, reveals he was poisoned, Picard rightly suspects treachery and is asked to be Arbiter Of succession by Kimpec. Picard is aghast that such a request be put before him but quickly accepts when Kimpec points out how necessary it is that it must be an outsider. When Keylehr becomes suspicious of Worf's silence regarding his recent excommunication from the Empire she does some investigating and is murdered shortly thereafter by Duras. Worf takes the boy and tells him to look upon death and always remember. He then goes aboard Duras's ship and kills him. Picard later gives Worf a dressing down and places a reprimand on his record. Just after this Worf informs Keylehr's son he's sending him to live with Worf's human parents. Alexander then asks is Worf his father, Worf finally concedes and says yes. The two embrace in a touching scene. Another excellent episode from the very able Jonathan Frakes.

ST:TNG:81 - "Reunion" (Stardate: 44246.3) - this is the 7th episode of the 4th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

This episode reunites Suzie Plakson as Federation-Klingon Liaison K'Ehleyr (she also played Dr. Selar before) from the 2nd season episode "The Emissary" with Worf, but with a surprise addition - their son Alexander from their bonding in the aforementioned 2nd season episode.

Also returning from the 3rd season episode "Sins Of The Father" are Charles Cooper as K'mpec, who is slowly being poisoned to death and must pick a new successor - either Duras or the newly introduced Gowron (who will become a major Star Trek figure from this point on). In order to do so, K'mpec has chosen Picard as Arbitor of Succession.

Trivia note: this episode will foreshadow the upcoming Klingon Civil War seen in "Redemption". We also see a batleth (a Klingon weapon), as well as hearing the Klingon death yell from the 1st season episode "Heart Of Glory". And, a nice homage to Jerry Goldsmith's Klingon theme again.

Worf has a son. His tryst with the visiting ambassador has produced a little boy, Alexander, and has really complicated the big guy's life. The main plot here is that the head of the Klingon High Command has been slowly poisoned and is not going to live long. He enlists Picard in choosing the future leader. Whoever did this has no honor. Both of the finalists are a couple slime balls, one is the accuser of Worf's father in the incident with the Romulans. He is also the only one that, for now, can clear Worf's name as the son of a traitor. Worf's mate (Alexander's mother) is killed and Starfleet restraint is out the window. Worf, who is shunned like the classic leper, acts out of revenge. The business with his son is now brought to the fore. There are more complications ahead. Characterization of the Klingon's and other species is becoming much more masterful as these episodes unfold.

I'm watching all of the Next Generation series. So far, every episode that has featured Worf and the Klingons has ranged from good to outstanding. I would put this episode in the latter category.

Suzie Plakson reprises her role as Worf's half-human, half-Klingon girlfriend to perfection. I loved her first appearance as K'Ehleyr in season two. Some internet critics claimed in those reviews that she was overacting, which is nonsense. If any actress can cause you to believe that a female Klingon-- even a half-human Klingon-- is sexy then it's an outstanding performance. She adds the right amount of fiery temper and sex appeal to the role.

The story is never boring. As is the case with every Klingon-centered Next Generation episode, it combines the perfect amount of political intrigue, introspection and violence to maintain everyone's interest. However, this episode also has an unexpected and depressing tragedy.

I am a sucker for Klingon episodes of "Star Trek"--and they are almost always among my favorites. They are always exciting and action-packed. This one is no exception, though one huge logical error really ruined the episode in some ways.

The show begins with Worf's lady love, K'Ehleyr, coming on board the Enterprise. Surprisingly, she's accompanied by a son Word never knew he had--and Alexander is about 6 years-old. However, Worf and K'Ehleyr got their groove on only a season earlier and at least by human standards, the boy should have been a few months old. But, here the freakish little beast is old--and can talk!! This is the same sort of stupid plot device that occurred when "Family Ties" jumped the shark and brought on a freaky little baby who almost instantly was about 6. What's with this?!?!?!

If you can ignore the stupidity of Alexander's age, the rest of the episode is terrific and has to do with more behind the scenes intrigues. As the Klingon leader is dying, he calls for Picard-- someone he can trust since he can no longer trust his own people. Why? Because SOMEONE is poisoning him and he'll soon be dead! So, Picard is given the task of helping to select the Klingon Empire's next leader!! What's next....just see this one.

Well written (aside from Alexander), exciting and with a lot of character development involving Worf (a LOT happens with him)--this one is still well worth your time and is a must-see for Worf-lovers.

Star Trek: The Next Generation

Roddenberry's second creation of an elite group exploring space through humanity is a remarkable milestone for not only television but the sci-fi genre itself. As it quips repetitively, it dares go where no one has been before, and analyzes the good and bad of the nature. And it's that wide range of nature that is touched down, in all its hokum that it calls for, the answers are overwhelming to all the questions thrown out to it. Unlike the previous series, it has much more characters to handle which is a double edge sword. On the pro section, it helps writers jump in on diverse categories through them and swoop in as much as material possible through their individual perspective and still keep it all inside a definite and familiar circle.

On the other hand, it also is challenging to fiddle around these many characters on screen, especially the amount of new contents and eerie ideas each episode comes up with, it increases the possibility to lean towards flaws. And yes, it has its own limitation, but in its own gullible range and potential, it just simply works. Plus, what's fascinating is despite of being brimmed with these many personas floating about in the space, they haven't allotted any stereotypical specific characteristics to the characters, their species and nature may definitely vary, but a cheesy note is strictly prohibited in Enterprise-D.

The infamous Capt. Jean-Luc Picard played by Stewart who is mostly known by this role from his career, is exceptionally well crafted character that is simply nothing but a good leader and add Stewart's performance to that, the outcome is your iconic character that survives decades easily. Sirtis as the consciously enhanced counselor fits perfectly in the ship and the makers makes sure either they keep her up front to notify the shady part of the plot or distracts her wisely to advance the plot.

Frakes, once again, a competent leader and warrior that is more explored into love affairs while Dorn as a hot head and Burton as the most adapting and willful learner on the ship helps make the environment more engaging and realistic. Spiner as the android, Lt. Commander Data, who means nothing but business, unfortunately, is the guy that means the least amount of business, often relied upon for the humor, he might be explored thoroughly but is rarely projected with sincerity.

Personally, I prefer Stewart's mellow equation with Wheaten who looks up to him as a father figure and adds the right amount of emotion to it, McFadden's friendly relation too helps on spicing up this dish. The guest cast coming in- often playing the antagonist- invests equally and perpetually to this scoreboard. Advancing further than the previous series did, this journey also brings in rich traditional rituals and their own quirky references to the table. Star Trek: The Next Generation is your typical space ride, floating without any control it grabs everything like a child, and in its innocence and honesty it is one breathtaking ride.

Season 04

This fourth act of the series lives up to the expectations on terms of bringing out new vivid concepts that are mostly pulled out from the old buried lands, what it unfortunately lacks is the thought provoking ethical dilemmas that were present in the previous season.

Reunion

Reincarnating the electrifying attraction is as far as the episode succeeds on, for the usual drama and treachery comes in handy, with a shocking and arguably a satisfying closure to this ever open chapter of Word and his breeds, or so we think.

K'Ehleyr returns to help mediate a successor as leader of the Klingon Empire and has a son, which is presumably Worf's from their fling in season 2's "The Emissary". Worf never questions how he has a son that's grade-school-age as a result of a fling from just a little over a year ago. If I were him, I'd at least seek a paternity test.

That aside, this is one of the best episodes of the series. It's not only a touching episode, but it really helps establish the Klingon mythos that would play out through the remainder of the series and through Deep Space Nine.

Jonathan Frakes makes his directing debut here. He's a much better director than actor.
