It'll take some time before The Next Generation does any degree of justice to the former enemy of the Federation, the Klingons. "Heart of Glory" certainly does little favors to the war-like race that eventually become super beloved. We pontificate on how readily the crew speculates that just because some of his own species boards the ship, Worf might bail on Starfleet and rejoin his brethren. More veiled racism in the first season is a super bad look.
