5/10

Nothing of consequence happens other than Sulu is painted in a bad light and the writers do not seem to care.

Not much to say other than a terrible episode marred by writers who are ignoring the elephant in the room in order to tell a story that honestly should have been left on the cutting room floor. So many ways this could have been a better episode, but this episode was more about "Sulu! We have Sulu!" over, "how can we utilize the character of Sulu and Tuvok well).

Trivia
The original script featured a scene with Uhura but Nichelle Nichols declined to reprise her role. George Takei pleaded with her to reprise her role but Nichols felt it was too limited and still refused. The scenes between Tuvok and Neelix and Tuvok and Kes were added to fill the time.

Goofs
Tuvok repeatedly states that the explosion of the Klingon moon took place three days before the final battle scene; however, in the movie Star Trek VI : Terre inconnue (1991), the explosion of the moon is stated to have taken place two months before the next scene in the film.

Quotes
[Tuvok protests against Sulu's decision to rescue his comrades]
Captain Sulu: Ensign, you're absolutely right, but you're also absolutely wrong. You'll find that more happens on the bridge of a starship than just carrying out orders and observing regulations. There's a sense of loyalty to the men and women you serve with, a sense of family. Those two men on trial, I served with them for a long time. I owe them my life a dozen times over, and right now they're in trouble and I'm gonna help them. Let the regulations be damned.
Tuvok: Sir, that is a most illogical line of reasoning.
Captain Sulu: You better believe it.
