(unless he was actually seen to be infirm or incompetent as a result of his age) - I think both Duras AND Gowron alluded to K'mpec being off his rocker for assigning Picard as the Arbiter. We the audience know that's his best choice, but the two challengers do have a point from a High Council perspective.– Jesse C. SlicerCommented Apr 20, 2020 at 20:59

2@JesseC.Slicer - They're not happy about Picard, but he's widely (albeit grudgingly) respected in the Empire. I'm assuming it's a case of neither having quite enough support to justify a challenge, especially when there are two potential candidates for the top job. One would immediately challenge the other if they challenged K'mpec, so for example Duras might be able to kill K'mpec but would then have to fight Gowron straight away afterwards. Both have more to lose with a challenge than they stand to gain.– ValorumCommented Apr 20, 2020 at 21:02

4The issue with K'mpec is that there was no need to challenge him; the whole point of Picard being selected as Arbiter of Succession was that there was going to be a Succession because everyone knew he was dying. And challenging a dying, out of shape old man would probably be seen as not very honorable, even given the flexible Klingon definition of honor.– Keith MorrisonCommented Apr 21, 2020 at 5:06

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
