As you say, though he's a capable actor, I don't really buy Jeff McCarthy as a grizzled war veteran. Feels more like he's a brother of a traumatized solider or he's some pontificating military scholar weighing in on it all. That said, the solid, action infused pace along with Worf's 'security chiefery' - really love that phrase - lol - is nonetheless pleasing. 🖖
What a great read on that casting - he would have been perfect as the brother of someone with PTSD! Of course, then we wouldn't have got 'Rambo on the Enterprise', which as I say in the piece is really much more fun than I remember it. 😁
Yeah, this moves well, it's satisfying.
