Star Trek DS9 Episode 157 - Once More Unto the Breach

"Worf finds a battle assignment for Kor, an aging Klingon hero."

I feel that DS9 is now starting to limp to the end of the series. I don't blame them for running out of ideas or putting out subpar episodes at this point, I mean 25 episodes per season is way too many. These series' easily could have put out 14 awesome episodes and done away with the 10 remaining average ones.

Anyway, this episode is ok I guess. The elderly Klingon Kor asks Worf to help him participate in one last battle before he is too old. So Worf hooks him up ... completely unaware that Kor is senile. They end up with Martok (who hates Kor), but after Kor loses his mind on the ship Martok starts feeling bad for him.

They are soon attacked by Jem'Hadar and of course Kor ends up sacrificing himself and saving the day. Very predictable. His family then went on to create Kors Beer and have a series of commercials starring Mark Harmon.

Also this should have been the plot: An elderly Kor asks Worf to help him get laid one more time before he is too old. The episode is named "Once More Unto the Breeches"

157 down and 19 to go

are breeches the same as Britches? like pants?

I'd watch an episode where worf tries to get his friend laid but just gives bad Klingon advice

Worf "okay tell her that her forehead looks like a sensuous horseshoe crab and that you want to kill her in battle"

HAHAHA. Yeah Breetches is just another way of saying Britches. I actually looked that up to make sure that joke worked.
