I really enjoyed this. Fast-paced nonstop action was just what I needed last night as a break from editing an article. At the same time I appreciated the view provided of the cultural divide within Klingon society that led to the civil war—it's much clearer now how Klayvor managed to scrape up as much support as he did. (I do wonder why Jurdak was on the Klingon Union side in the first place, given all that.)

It's nice to see the younger generation of Duelists get a chance at the spotlight. Krattak is clearly going to fit in very well around here with that problem-solving approach. The Science Gorn is just as awesome as we expected. And I'm definitely looking forward to finding out how B'Elanna met Karn.

I'm a little sorry Sub-Commander Karodis got killed off before she had a chance to do anything; she seemed like she could have been an interesting character.
