Notes
- The first appearance of Armin Shimerman as Quark outside of Deep Space Nine, but Shimerman was in TNG before, going all the way back to the first TNG Ferengi episode “The Last Outpost” (as a different Ferengi).
- The final appearance for Alexander on the series and the final appearance of Brian Bonsall as that character. Alexander would appear in Deep Space Nine, but played by someone else.
- The last episode of TV for the Duras sisters (Lursa & B’Etor). They had appeared on a Deep Space Nine episode already in real time (“Past Prologue“). That episode would be referenced in dialogue in this one.

We get appearances by Lursa & B'Etor as well as a cameo by Quark from DS9. The big plot here is Worf & Alexander dealing with Alexander not wanting to be a warrior. This is played out on a Klingon base

#StarTrekMarathon #StarTrek TNG Ep 173 - Firstborn - 25 Apr 1994 2/2 at a celebration. The twist is Alexander from the future has shown up at this place too, although that's not immediately known. I love a good Klingon episode - this one while not the best was way better than I remembered it to be.
