YATI :

One of the ways Kahless tries to convince Worf that he is real is to talk about a vision of Kahless Worf had as a child. So since Kahless turns out to be a fake, how did he know about Worf's vision? And if Worf had told people about it, then why wouldn't he object that Kahless knowing about it was no proof that he was real?

Great Moment :

Data talking about his 'leap of faith'.

Factoid :

A line cut from this episode places the death of Kahless 1,547 years ago - 822 AD.

Quote :

"Long ago a storm was heading toward the city of Quin'lat. The people sought protection within the walls, all except one man who remained outside. I went to him and asked what he was doing. 'I am not afraid,' he said. 'I will not hide my face behind stone and mortar. I will stand before the wind and make it respect me.' I honoured his choice and went inside. The next day the storm came, and the man was killed. The wind does not respect a fool." - Kahless to Gowron.
