We’ve got a Worf-centric episode here, where we learn some things about Klingons and about Worf himself. What we do not have are a lot of essential fashions, but there are a few jazzy Klingon looks, so settle in and let’s have a look-see.
The episode starts with Riker and Picard posing for their New Wave album cover on the bridge.

Believe it or not, the present is not as gloomy as you think
Please memorize the second one.
This is so important to me
I saw Scott posted this and I was really hoping to scroll down and see some plausible argument that this all stems from the elimination of lead.
Seriously though, this is good stuff to keep in mind.
About that second one, not that their point isn’t true, but the decade they selected was the 1940s. OK, so we’re not in the middle of a world war! Go us! But I’d really prefer a more typical and less cherry-picked example.
Agreed. I seem to recall that a previous time I saw someone use the 1940’s for this, someone responded with an explanation of how it’s still true even if you don’t use a world-war decade. However, I have no idea where I saw that, so take plenty of salt.
The first time I saw a calculation of how much data was on the Internet, it was five petabytes. To think, just a few years ago the entire Internet could be stored inside Data’s brain, with room to spare. We’ve come so far.

#Star Trek #TNG #yeah pretty much #interesting to note that tribbletron and I interpreted ‘alpine ibexes on the mountainside’ #differently #I figured it was ‘I need and/or strongly desire this thing’ without itself specifying what the thing was
Astute reader Brandon Z pointed out that the Klingon exchange program covered in Sins of the Father showed the “Riker on a Klingon ship” half of the exchange in this episode. As Brandon puts it:
“You’ll get some Klingon fashion, a guide to Klingon cuisine, and Riker and Picard at a phaser firing range – other than that it’s uniforms. And Riker indeed gets punched in the face, though it is the Klingon ladies that hit on him.”
GET IT, KLINGON LADIES.
So the episode starts with this quintessential Riker/Wesley shot:
Riker: YOU WANNA GO? HUH? BRO? Wesley: what if I had a mauve sweater
