When he made his debut in 1987, "Old Trek: The Next Generation" was far from a safe job. The show will be the first to continue Starflit's adventures, as they were first shown in the original Star Trek series in the 1960s, and from 18 years since the final and people were pretty protective of the original series, the chances were against them. Not only that but also the creator of the franchise Ein bornboys even agreed with the series As part of the rage, it meant that the first season of the "next generation" could be incredibly rough as the series found its foundation. So harshly, in fact, some of the cast were not convinced that the series would make it.

An early episode is quite well accepted as One of the worst "next generation", And it was so bad that Michael Dorn, played by Klingon Lieutenant Colonel Warf, was worried that the first season of the show would be the last. On a visit to the podcast "Inside you with Michael Rosenbaum", "" Dorn shared his feelings as to why the "next generation" eventually worked, but said the fourth episode, the wildly controversial "Code of Honor", seemed to say the show's accident.

While talking to Rosenbaum, Dorn said he appreciated the fact that the series every week recounts "moral plays", but that the "Code of Honor" is so bad that it made him doubt the series as a whole:

"... it was maybe the third or fourth episode ... I actually thought we wouldn't do it from that episode ... It's not that I can't tell you. I have to see it ... it was one of the worst episodes. And I don't think they did it to make a bad episode. This is a really good idea.

There are many examples of a time when Star Trek writers thought something was a good idea and ended up aging like milk (don't forget to check yourself Star Trek stories that are pure unique now). However, the "Code of Honor" is particularly frivolous. The episode shows the lieutenant Tasha Far (Dennis Crosby) kidnapped by a group called Ligonians, which are racist, mashed from a stereotype of various African cultures. The Ligan leader, Lutan (Essie Lawrence Ferguson), has decided to make Tasha the most prominent wife despite already having one, leading to a battle between women for status. The episode is so deeply wrong that the Athonian Freyks, who played commander Will Reeker of "Next General" and directed a number of Star Trek episodes, indeed He wants the episode to withdraw from streaming. It's pretty cruel, but he's wrong.

It is quite easy to notice how the racist "Code of Honor" is now, but in 1987 maybe the writers behind "Next Generation" thought they were not harming by portraying the Ligons as African tribal stereotypes. They also probably didn't realize how sexist the episode is, as women are treated as goods and symbols of power and a little more, and captain Jeanan-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) even goes along with some of the sexist ideas set by the Ligons. Really is pretty terrible and is the antithesis of The progressive vision of "Star Trek", Making it really one of the worst episodes of the whole franchise.

In an interview for 2012 with Startrek.comDorn said he There is no regret for his time on the "next general" Even if some of his fellow citizens have discovered certain stories. However, he brought a "Code of Honor" and noticed why he had no personal regrets the episode:

"There was nothing, really, I wanted them to do. There was an episode that I wanted to do not, but fortunately I wasn't in that."

The "Code of Honor" is not only a terrible episode, it is also an episode without Warf, and it is a crime worthy of the Starflit tribunal.
