And not too long after that episode was filmed, Kor's actor passed away as well. In a way, both men got to go out on a high note. We should all be so lucky. Qa'pla!

[TheAtkey]

Kor the first Klingon we ever saw in TOS was given the death that Kirk was denied by Berman and Braga. "Kor died on the bridge instead of under one"

[HeadlessChickenTO]

The song the bridge crew sung in closing was just epicly glorious and indicative of honoring an old warrior's sacrifice. You should have added it to the video if it was allowed.

I felt so bad for Kor, his monologue about getting old was hard hitting. Martok needed to see Kor as the person he was, nit just a high ranking official who screwed him over. That was a great episode

I loved these episodes in DS9. One of the few times we got to see full scale war tactics in Star Trek.

[rodneypayne]

Using WW2 Naval tactics in Star Trek was one of the greatest ideas ever put to screen. I've always had a problem with ship tactics used in the different series, sometimes they just sit there and trade fire and other times they go in straight lines like they are not in a vacuum. Even the bigger ships maneuver in 3 axis so they should use that capability. For The EMPIRE!

I loved this episode of DS9. I was in tears, but I also knew that the episode showed what honorable warriors the Klingons were. DS9 showed, on many occasions just how bad ass a true, and honorable Klingon Warrior was.

I use this strategy in Stellaris when a larger faction declares war on me. I'll have some torpedo boat type corvettes move deep into enemy systems and attack their orbital resource stations, forcing the enemy to respond, while I build up my main fleet.

Savor the fruit of life, my young friends. It has a sweet taste when it is fresh from the vine. But don't live too long. The taste turns bitter... after a time.

I enjoy that the "Last Battle of Osiris" was used as the BGM for this video given how similar both the Osiris's final mission and the overall Ghost Fleet Offensive was to this.

Kor, son of Rynar will be welcomed in Sto-vo-kor.

When Martok raised a bottle and says "To Kor...Dahar master...and noble warrior to the end..."

A true moment, when Martok sees him for what he is after holding such anger for him all this time.

"...and inflict major damage to the facility."
Seeing as I love memeing things....
*NOW THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE*

[crazyfrogwales]

I loved ds9 and this has to be one of my favourite episodes it’s got the same feel as Zulu or sharpes siege

[Arashmickey]

The elderly, though slow and dangerous behind the Conn, can still serve a purpose.

[Funkography]

Love battle analysis like this. Noice vid.

[jameswoods]

You should do:
Battleship Halberd
Great Fox
Arwing

[marckrieger]

Such a fantastic episode, Kor goes down like the legend he is.

This is pretty much what happened at Leyte Gulf in WW2. Specifically, the battle of Samar, since the battle of Leyte Gulf was actually comprised of several separate engagements. Nevertheless, kudos to DS9 for using it for this episode, it WAS epic!
