You have to assume that there are time constraints involved and that going around isn't feasible.


It's a cool story regardless, and a good episode.

I really like how the klingons are casually brawling, which isn't a phrase I thought I'd ever use.

Already cooler than Discovery will ever be. This is so late-'80s it's almost painful, but in a good way.

Does TNG ever really establish if Warbirds can warp while cloaked? They show up under the Enterprise's nose enough that I'd kind of assume they can, but in Redemption they have to move at sublight while cloaked so the blockade is actually a feasible idea and uggggggggggh (fake) science. Either way you'd think they could just warp at right angles out of range of the blockade and get there way faster anyway.

Isn't this actually said directly in the episode? They aren't trying to physically block the Romulans, just stop them from taking the fastest straight line path.

It's been said before but Insurrection is like a two part episode from season 3 TNG. It's okay, better than other stuff (in this case Nemesis), but has some really dumb moments and cringy writing.

Season 3 is when TNG was doing interesting things with the characters ("Most Toys" being the first obvious example.) Insurrection is like one of the lazy season 6-7 episodes where they're just coasting, but with the specific instruction of "make it so people who don't like Star Trek will understand."

It also gets more rage-inducing the more you think about it, as opposed to the start-to-finish cerebral piledriver that is Nemesis.

I hope it's at least revealed that Gowron let Worf be captured or something so it's less stupid.

I've always interpreted it as a bit of both, though less anger and more just general authority. Very literal about his duties.

Even if the war happened a little fast, that was a good episode. Besides the Yar stuff. I really wish they could've left well enough alone and not retconned her death back to pointless.
