New Ground is very good in dealing with Worf and his son, Alexander. In fact, the boy who plays Alexander does a fantastic job, he’s a talented young actor. The B story with the out of control wave was, while not particularly exciting (and even a little convenient) expresses the out of control emotions of Alexander and the challenge both he and Worf will face. This is also the first time in all 5 seasons so far where Worf and Troi have a meaningful scene together.
