These stories seem to be completely disconnected from each other, which isn't a bad thing. I think Worf needed something to give his character more depth than his interest in Klingon political affairs. This provided him with an awkward challenge, which humanized him, as well as gave him comedic beats.
I think some people haven't cared for Alexander's inclusion in the show. I don't think too much of it, but maybe he doesn't handle properly later on.
For now, the episode is interesting, mostly because Worf seems to be a little thrown off by having a kid around, but no one seems to think that it's strange. Worf's mother just dropped Alexander off unannounced.
Also, the teacher on the Enterprise doesn't seem to be nearly as skilled as she should be.
The other plot, with the new propulsion method, is a little fun, but still seems a little forced. At least someone points out "can't we just go around the wave?" They get some response about how the size of the wave is increasing, and they can't go around it any longer. Of course, once we see the wave, it's roughly as big as it had been when we first saw it. I suppose that writing scripts that take three-dimensional space into account just isn't as exciting.
