This episode comes from my recent livestream about Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and its Shakespearean influences.
The plot is a real-time metaphor for the end of the Cold War, highlighting larger-than-life personalities and critical historical moments in a way that Shakespeare did when writing his history plays. Klingon costumes are based on Elizabethan fashions, telling viewers exactly who each character is using only clothing. And the famous dinner scene both honors the original meaning of Hamlet and recontextualizes it in fascinating ways.
