Despite getting rid of the Enterprise-D and getting a Sovereign-class ship, my mind still refuses to accept that Will Riker, who has served under Picard for years, would have his ass handed to him by a ragtag group of Klingons in a rusty old starship. He had a better ship, better training, better mind and more experience. He should have had his butt whipped by someone with a bit more class.
