And then we have the laborious, utterly suspense-free attempt to the generate drama by showing the drawn-out surgical procedure, followed by the patient crashing, the endless attempts to revive him, and then him staying dead for an unconvincingly long time before plot-convenient-itis rescues him. This sort of thing is wearisome because there’s absolutely no doubt that Worf is going to survive. We’re talking, not just about an opening-credits regular, but one of the show’s two breakout characters (along with Data), a character who will go on to appear on more episodes of Star Trek than any other character. He’s not going to die on the operating table in a mid-fifth-season episode. (Game of Thrones, this ain’t.)
