In the final episode of season 4, Odo became privy to some VERY interesting information--that the leader of the Klingon Empire, Gowron, is a Founder!! This does make sense in light of all the things Gowron has recently done to stoke discord with the Empire and the Federation as well as Cardassia. Here in the premier episode of season 5, Captain Sisko has been ordered to the Klingon home world to expose Gowron for what he is. But how...how will he get on the planet...how will he get near Gowron...and how will he show that the guy is really a pile of goo?! Well, the plan will naturally involve bringing Odo along--but Odo is busy feeling sorry for himself, as the Founders have made him a humanoid permanently--something that is very confusing and strange for him.
Much of the show is spend with the away team members dressed up like Klingons--which is a lot of fun to watch. While Odo and O'Brien make crappy Klingons, Sisko is surprisingly good. As for Worf, well, he IS a Klingon! This portion of the show is cool--and it's exciting watching these Federation folks acting like drunk Klingons. Additionally, the show is pretty exciting and features a neat twist. All in all, an excellent start to season 5.
