How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In 426 Worf and Kurn forge a cautious strategy of waiting to back Gowron until his enemies are at his throat. In 501 that strategy collapses into an open argument, as Kurn challenges Worf's position and the brothers split over loyalty to Gowron and the war."

The longer arc this connection carries
