Episode Quotes
 
Worf: I believed her. I helped her. I did not see what she was.
Picard: Mr. Worf. Villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Title: The Drumhead

"Drumhead" used as an adjective means "performed speedily and without formality" -- it is often used in the context of a "Drumhead Courtmartial", a quick martial court performed when all the facts are believed known and unchallenged, and the expected results are merely to apply a clear stamp of law and record of the facts to a foregone conclusion. It can, however, refer to another type of courtmartial, which bears a strong resemblance to a so-called "Kangaroo Court".
