Exchange Program

Story: A Matter of Honor
Written By: Burton Armus
Series: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Year: 1989

Riker participates in an exchange program in which he acts as first officer on a Klingon ship for a short period of time. It’s pretty good. Riker must act in the Klingon way in order to garner respect, so he has to prove himself physically and with in honor, if someone questions him he must react by attacking them.
I think it gives a nice little look into the Klingon world as well as giving us a nice lesson in tolerance, without jamming it down our throats like some early TNG “lesson” episodes.

Oh and it is kinda fun too!
