Star Trek TNG: Episode 54 - The Bonding

In this episode, a crewmember of the Federation Starfleet starship USS Enterprise is killed in a tragic accident, leaving behind a young son who must deal with her death.

 Well made and acted. It shows a softer side to Worf, he feels bad for this kid and makes him his brother ... in some weird Klingon way. Also, the episode explores Wesley's feelings over the death of his father.

But really though, this little kid has a shit life. His parents are both dead and the compensation for this is that he gets to live with a hideous Klingon. Sounds fucking fantastic.

This is one of those episodes that is a really brilliant idea for a story... but... meh. It's not bad at all, but it's not one I rewatch too often. It's well done and very thought provoking, but it's also a little too heavy and depressing.

I agree, sometimes next gen get's a bit too soap opera-ish for me.
