This is one of those guilty pleasure episodes for me. On paper, I should not like this episode due to the lack of any real message within it but I cannot help but enjoy it.
I view this episode as a bit of a love letter to the western roots of TOS and star trek in general. A large part of star trek is the 'sheriff' solving some type of problem within the galaxy and it's a storytelling method that has worked for over 50 years.
The Worf comedy moments make this episode but I also enjoyed the atmosphere, the soundtrack, even Deanna Troi's western accent had me in stitches.
I don't believe that I have watched a Worf episode that has been an absolute stinker yet ---- Dorn's uptight performance is always rock solid.
