In "Birthright, Part I" the Enterprise visits Deep Space Nine once again, this time to help with repairs. While there, Worf meets someone claiming his father is still alive, trapped on a Romulan prison planet. Meanwhile, an experiment on a strange device from the Gamma quadrant causes Data to experience his first ever dream. He tries to interpret what all this means.
Worf's family issues just seems to be the saga that will never end. After finally clearing his dad's name, here he finds out the man may still be alive. But as soon as he arrives on the planet, an old friend tells Worf that the rumour is untrue. We cut off the episode with the "trapped" Klingons appearing to be co-conspirators with the Romulans on the planet as they take Worf hostage.
Data's plot line feels like complete filler to make it long enough to be a two-parter. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it though. We get some really fun scenes between Data and Dr. Soong with some fun wide angle shots and a sort of surreal vibe over the whole thing.
Having a crossover episode, I figured we'd see more of the DS9 cast but so far (in Part I at least) we've only encounter Dr. Bashir. That's a bit of a disappointment. Hopefully we'll see more of the DS9 regulars in Part II.
