[25]Screen Rant has rated the character Worf a number of times, and by several authors, at its site. [laughs] Exactly! But yes, their intent was to be a the shows baddie. Cant help believe some part of the issue with Dorns return has to do with what discovery did with the Klingons. In other words, live action appearances don't take into account the stories written in novels for example. We will be brothers. Kurtzmans idea of different Trek shows is good, but they will not truly have their own voice if 2/3 of the BTS staff are the same people. B. In the game, the player gets instructions from Worf, and the game received generally favorable reviews.[13]. Considering how popular Worf is with fans, it's surprising to learn that the producers of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" did not initially want him as a regular cast member. Fortunately, by the time Worf transfers to Deep Space Nine, he starts winning most of his battles. Its not the COST of the make-up; its the three hours sitting in the chair getting make-up applied that Dorn wants to avoid.

Surely, you wouldnt suggest that Humans have been done to death, or that Starfleet has been done to death. Commander in Star Trek Generations. In the "Next Generation" Season 2 episode "The Emissary," Worf renews a relationship with the half-Klingon ambassador K'Ehleyr (Suzie Plakson). Filk artists Ookla the Mok include a song about Worf entitled "Mr. W" on their 2003 album Oh Okay LA. Afterward, Captain Sisko told Worf that "[Starfleet will] probably never give you a command of your own after this.". 1 Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) giving a shocking order ("Mr. Worf, fire.") and the screen cutting to the words "To be continued", something it . I seriously doubt Frakes ad Sirtis appearances had anything to do with this. [26] Then author Sara Schmidt ranks Worf the 7th most attractive person in the Star Trek universe, in between T'Pol (Enterprise) and Michael Burnham (Star Trek: Discovery),[27] and in another article, she goes on to suggest ideas for a Worf spin-off, saying a young Worf would be "interesting to explore", as well as a "series about Worf's experiences as a Federation ambassador to Qo'noS. This seems to be the step in development that he hasnt fully taken yet, and it may be that the chaos with the showrunners on Discovery has made him keep tighter control, but it seems that its becoming a problem on the live-action series. Why Star Trek's Captain Worf Show Is The Next Perfect TNG Spin-Off According to the Pocket Books novels set after Nemesis, Worf takes over William T. Riker's position of first officer aboard the Enterprise-E. His basic concept has merit just needs some polishing. Youre right though they can and have contradicted the novels when theyve not fit in with the latest direction that theyve wanted to steer the shows but unlike the historic relationship between Trek productions and the tie-ins there is now a greater reward for those that follow the shows and read the literature. Accordingly, a cast portrait released in June 1987 to promote the upcoming series did not include Worf. Picard was also offended at the idea that he would select Worf to be his First Officer if he didn't think the Klingon was capable of being a worthy Captain someday. Worf does get humanized far better than being the token badass on DS9 over time, especially when Sisko teaches him how to be a command officer - a greater responsibility than simply wearing the uniform and using a weapon. In the process, they manage to embarrass Worf multiple times and become worried about their son's recent discommendation from the Klingon Empire. That would make it easier to bring back characters like LRell. Just like they did with the Romulans in TNG. For example, The Hunt for Red October stared with the Russians speaking Russian. But dont go nuts. Ill admit the 1979 Klingon look was already pretty dated by the time of DS9, and they did really need some better wigs and costumes. In the last five years or so, have you talked to the CBS All Access people about this project? In Star Trek: Picard's era, Worf (Michael Dorn) replaced Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) as Captain of the U.S.S. Well Being comfortable doing it is obviously not the same as being able to do it well. And clearly a lot of people felt the same. Its the Russians, basically. Theformer Borg drone Seven of Nine becomes a valued crewmember on "Star Trek: Voyager," even as the Borg Collective attempts to conquer Starfleet. Later in the film the change back to speaking Russian because the circumstance of the scene required it. After the conclusion of the Dominion War, Worf was offered the position of the Federation ambassador to Qo'noS (the Klingon homeworld), as depicted in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series finale "What You Leave Behind". Its such a great fit and it doesnt feel like anything else thats on All Access. In 2370 after returning from a tournament, Worf encountered a quantum fissure and began shifting into different realities. The Klingons attacked the station in order to capture the council members but withdrew as Starfleet ships approached, fearing a war on two fronts. He later accepts reassignment as the strategic operations officer of Deep Space Nine in the "DS9" Season 4 episode "The Way of the Warrior." 6 Biggest Questions About Worf's Return In Picard Season 3 - Screen Rant Would love to see you back. I know he got beat in fights more often than he probably should have but still He was easily the only interesting character on TNG. Julian Bashir was able to save the Dax symbiont, which was sent back to the Trill homeworld to be rejoined with a new host aboard the USS Destiny. Brutally killing the Ferengi Sneed to rescue Picard's associate Raffi . Aside from creating a strong link between the old and new "Star Trek" generations, this appearance reveals that Worf's family has always been full of honorable people willing to fight for justice. Shortly after, theship's bartender, Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg), approaches the Rozhenkos. Id thank you for making accusations on this board only when theyre based on facts, after all Dorns a person tooHope you dont mind me saying this, Cheers! By 2386, Worf's son Alexander is an Ambassador, working alongside Admiral William Riker. Worf was born on the Klingon homeworld Qo'noS on May 23, 2340.He was named after his grandfather, General Worf. In fact, I find those twos constant appearances to be tiresome and more self serving than Dorn speaking about a Worf centered show from time to time. Dorns a person tooHope you dont mind me saying this, Cheers! Out of all of the characters from TNG, Worf had the most potential for development in the post-Nemesis universe. According to the Titan series, he also adopted Data's cat Spot. When news of the Romulan supernova reached Starfleet, Picard was summoned to Starfleet Headquarters in San Francisco. I am 100% for this. The ship had suffered many losses to the Dominion, and morale was low. Worf (Played by Michael Dorn) PERSONNEL FILE: Worf Last Starfleet Rank: Lieutenant Commander Current position: Federation Ambassador to Qo'noS; previously, strategic operations officer, Deep Space Nine and first officer, U.S.S. I think TNG pushed the envelope when they gave Romulans foreheads. It sounds far more interesting that Picard or Discovery to me as well. [21] He talked about his experiences pitching his idea for the character at the 2019 Keystone Comic Con. Worf became Captain of the Enterprise in Star Trek: Picard's era but Starfleet objected. Canon Novel Star Trek Picard The Last Best Hope revealed. Five years later, his parents moved to the Khitomer colony. Kurn now has the identity of Rodek, who believes he lost his memory after being hit by a plasma discharge (DS9 episode "Sons of Mogh"). She tells them that when Worf looks out the ship's windows toward the star he calls home, he doesn't look toward the Klingon Empire he looks to Earth, and his adoptive parents. They can STILL do that with the Klingons too but so far they done nothing other than the augment explanation. By late 2374, Worf and Jadzia were married less than a year when they decided to try to have a child, despite the extreme difficulties posed by the disparate biologies of Trill and Klingons. What happened to Wesley Crusher after nemesis? The reasons may not be what you think. The more I think of it, the more I think this could be made an animated series: Gorgeous designs and many new worlds and aliens, all at a much lower production cost with maximum creative possibilities, with Dorn doing the voice work. The Star Trek Story Bridging the Gaps Between Deep Space Nine and Worf challenged him for command, but allowed Martok to win and retain command. While Worf was away during a mission, Jadzia visited the Bajoran temple on the station where she was attacked and killed by an alien possessing the body of Gul Dukat, who had come aboard the station to destroy an Orb of the Prophet. Thus, despite his outsider status, Worf's effect on Klingon politics is considerable. Already prepared for such a tactic, Nero succeeds in surprising Worf by impaling him through the back with a large mechanical tentacle. Yeah but heres the thing Dorn does Worf well. Id love to see a 6 ep mini series. Soon afterwards, however, Worf successfully leads the rescue of Picard from another Borg crisis, and is sufficiently convinced to accept the permanent promotion. The Star Trek: Picard novel The Last Best Hope, set between Star Trek: Nemesis and the first season of Star Trek: Picard, asserts that Picard chose Worf to become the Enterprise -E's new. Or a Titan series. Worf may have a great love of Klingon culture, but when it comes to what planet he considers home, his heart lies with humanity. I didnt have a big issue with it, just never loved them one or the other. [3][4], He made his debut in 1987 in "Encounter at Farpoint", and last appeared in character in 2023 in Picard season 3. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited"). He is married to Deanna Troi and has a daughter Shannara Rozhenko and a son Eric Christopher Rozhenko. He eventually developed strong feelings for Counselor Deanna Troi, and explored a relationship with her for a time, which at times strained his relationship with her former romantic interest, Commander Riker. One enterprising "Star Trek" fan even combined the many instances of Worf's ideas being shot down, and ended up with a nearly15-minute-long video. Its funny because its like they are looking for something and theyve totally ignored this easy path. You bring up a valid point. Still, his presence often reveals the beauty and value of Klingon culture. They can even say that if people question it, we dont discuss it with outsiders lol. He is last seen playing poker with his Enterprise crewmates at the Ten Forward bar in Los Angeles, content with his life. And no one thought this to be odd. Worf's brother Kurn, barely a year old at the time of the Khitomer attack, had been left behind on the Klingon homeworld Qo'noS by his parents. Related:Star Trek: Why Picard Left The Enterprise, Worf's ascendance to commanding the Enterprise is detailed in the canonical prequel novel, Star Trek: Picard:The Last Best Hope by Una McCormack. But that just cost too much in time and money when Errand of Mercy was shot. However, Worf declined in favor of Martok (DS9: "Tacking Into the Wind"). But I would love for him to be a recurring character on Picard. He graduated in 2361 and was commissioned with the rank of Ensign, becoming the first Klingon officer in Starfleet. However, whenTerry Farrell was denied the chance to be a recurring character and decided not to renew her contract for Season 7, the producers opted to have Jadzia murdered by Gul Dukat in the Season 6 finale "Tears of the Prophets," leaving Worf a widower. Kurtzman has struggled to get the S31 series out of development. Enterprise did this to an extent. When Sisko eventually returned with a fleet of Federation ships to retake the station, Worf and Martok lobbied Gowron to send Klingon ships to join the battle. In another reality, Worf is first officer of the Enterprise, serving under Capt. As of 2385 in the novel miniseries Star Trek: The Fall, Worf continues to remain first officer of the Enterprise-E. After a brief rekindling of their feelings for one another, they decided that things were just too different and, eventually, the two settled into a comfortable friendship, with Ezri eventually becoming romantically involved with Julian Bashir (who previously had feelings for Jadzia). For me to do that, it really has to be kind of worth it, you know what I mean? Worf attended the wedding of William Riker and Deanna Troi on Earth and traveled to Betazed with the Enterprise crew for the second wedding ceremony when the ship was diverted to investigate positronic signals from a system near the Romulan border. I think a lot of people wouldve loved this idea if that was actually the idea at the time. After the invasion had begun, Gowron traveled to DS9 to ask Worf to join him in battle. In a meeting with Commander-in-Chief Victor Bordson and Captain Kirsten Clancy (Ann Magnuson), Picard accepted a long-overdue promotion to Admiral in order to lead the Romulan rescue mission. Exercising his right of vengeance, Worf fought and killed Duras with a bat'leth in a duel, allowing Duras's political opponent Gowron to become chancellor (TNG: "Reunion"). Although Worf was raised by humans, he considered himself a Klingon at heart and studied in-depth the ways of his people. I mean Id love to see him in either Picard or Lower Decks but his klingon series idea is also interesting and I get why he is frustrated with CBS for not fully understanding or caring about it. [29], TheWrap rates Worf as the 9th best character of Star Trek, saying that he "started the trend of turning enemies from past series into complex characters who became vital Starfleet crew members despite cultural differences. Worf continued to appear in TNG films, which is explained in various ways, such as being rescued from the damaged Defiant during a battle with the Borg (Star Trek: First Contact) and taking leave that led to him traveling on the Enterprise (Star Trek: Insurrection). It's the people's reaction around him that's funny." Alongside his role as the show's unlikely comic relief, however, Worf developed into one of Star Trek's most. That said, good luck to him I know hes been trying for a long time. Being the only Klingon in a largely human society proved difficult for Worf, but the Rozhenkos made a point of making sure Worf still practiced Klingon culture. Gowron believed the Federation was unworthy of Worf's loyalty because they would not fight the Dominion. That sounds really good! Understanding what Worf had done, Martok thanked him for reminding him of his duty as a soldier and offered him a place in his house as his brother. For the first months, Worf had difficulties adjusting to life on the station, unintentionally overstepping his boundaries by acting as he did on the Enterprise, putting him for a while at odds with Chief of Security Odo. In the 2012 book Star Trek 101: A Practical Guide to Who, What, Where, and Why by Terry J. Erdmann, they felt "The Way of the Warrior" was one of three key episodes for the character Worf, along with "The Sword of Khaless" and "Sons of Mogh".[36]. Exactly. The thing is, Worf is a character that has no fear. Worf also has a human brother, Nikolai, with whom he often quarreled. You would think that would mean something too, wouldnt you? The Klingon debuted in the premiere episode of TNG, "Encounter at Farpoint", as a bridge officer but he was soon promoted to Security Chief after the death of Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby). Picard Just Brought Back a Major Star Trek Character Like You've Never Worf was orphaned as a child as a result of the Khitomer Massacre, and raised on the farm world Gault by human parents: Helena and Sergey Rozhenko. Some worlds are rebelling. John Orquiola is Screen Rant's Star Trek Beat Editor, Senior Features staff writer, and interviewer. [16] He was trying to address rumors that he might appear on the show which is streamed on Paramount+. Id watch it though! just the guy who got his ideas shot down all the time. It is still surprising to Worf in command of Starfleet vessel, let alone one as storied as Enterprise. She wanted to marry him but Worf refused because he did not want to share his dishonor with her and their son (TNG: "Reunion"). I had the opposite view (although still curious to see how they did it). And in the 60s not much effort was made to go deeper with such characters. 'Star Trek': The Story of the Most Daring Cliffhanger in 'Next First, I think they wanted them to be gold skinned. [9] He also spent time on Earth in his parents' native city of Minsk, later recommending it to Miles O'Brien as one of his favorite places on Earth.[10][11][12]. He asked permission from Commander Riker to court Troi. Chief Petty Officer Sergey Rozhenko found Worf in the rubble and took him in after failing to find any living relatives. That is why a made-for-streaming movie or a limited series to pilot this one makes a lot of sense. But how many times has Dorn served up garbage playing Worf? He wanted to end the feuding among the great houses and declared that the House of Mogh would no longer engage in blood feuds. Unfortunately, I feel Klingon culture has already been explored to death. In the end, Worf has grown an awful lot though, and even though he has a discommendation on his record from that episode, he's proven time and again to be a stellar officer and great level headed commander, and will be a great Captain. When Rodek sees Worf, he asks him whether he is family. Yeah, I forgot what it is. Haha. I have the script ready. I think they could start with a miniseries or limited series and see how it goes. On DS9, Worf misses the Enterprise-D "family" that he had, often bemoaning the cut-rate work ethic and unfriendliness on the wayward outpost. Worf's son, Alexander, was also assigned to the Rotarran after joining the Klingon Defense Force. Enraged, Worf claimed he lost only because he had been betrayed, with the Mirror Garak blaming Intendant Kira Nerys as the likely source (DS9: "Shattered Mirror"). You want to see LRell on Picard? Martok is a high-ranking Klingon leader at the Federation-Bajoran space station in the late 2300s. I think they wanted to make it clear the Worf we know, in appearance anyway, is still very much in canon. Worf's visit had a profound effect on the children of the prisoners and many chose to leave with him (TNG: Birthright). The only times I really liked Klingon storylines was the first (and much better done) Klingon conflict in DS9, which was obviously created to bring Worf in and The Undiscovered Country. not a bad idea, if theyre concerned about make up cost etc they could just make it animated. Terms like STD are too often used for trolling and we prefer them not used here. She helped him on his mission and then returned to DS9 with him. They have planets and worlds and societies that they own, but they do it in a brutal way. In the mirror universe, Worf leads the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance as Regent. When they investigate, they learn they have been expected. Join me in the R'uustai, the Bonding. In early 2373, Worf became involved with DS9 science officer Jadzia Dax, a Trill woman. And animated would be an easier yes for you because of the makeup? But nobody likes a poopypants. Depressed, Kurn attempts to kill himself. Initially disregarding orders from Sisko not to carry out the honor killing, Worf failed in his first attempt to perform the ritual and later found he could not bring himself to do so again, as he had taken on a human feature of morality and would consider it murdering his brother. They follow Klingon customs as first taught to them by Worf (DS9: "Children of Time"). At this point its pretty well established what a Klingon look is. This idea came way before Discovery or Picard existed and when it was just the Kelvin movies. I cant say that Im overly fond of the idea Mr. Dorn presents for a Worf show, but Id check it out. [13] It was published in 2000 for Windows and 2001 for Macintosh. I, too, would love it! He proposed marriage but was rejected (TNG: "The Emissary"). I guess most Klingons die in battle before getting this old ;-) He only ate Klingon food (motivating Helena to learn how to make Rokeg blood pie) and immersed himself in Klingon history, art, and philosophy. Star Trek Fan-Favorite Character Promoted To Captain, But Not Of A Ship So, basically you pitched the Klingon verson of The Undiscovered Country, fast forward one hundred years. Could you give us your latest elevator pitch? (TNG: "Rightful Heir"). The loss forced the clerics to reveal that they had created a clone of Kahless and implanted ancient scriptures of Kahless's battles as his memories. Only some are from Kronos; most likely the Worf-y ones. I dont want to get in makeup and just stand around and scowl at people. IDW Comics took the character in a different direction in its licensed works. To make matters more difficult, K'Ehleyr never taught Alexander about Klingon culture and the boy has no interest in being a warrior. One would assume that the Klingons will show up at some point in Strange New Worlds, itll be interesting to see if they change the aesthetics at all like they did for S2 with the addition of the hair and the story that went along with it. A. I always thought from TSFS on they DID look more alien. Star Trek: Picard Reveals the New Captain of the Enterprise - ComicBook.com But what Discovery did to the Klingons was more than a tweak or an update. If so, thank Kahless! But this meant Picard had to immediately relinquish command of his beloved Enterprise so, naturally, he suggested Worf, his current First Officer to become the new Captain. Yeah, I actually did. Probably the best concept since Enterprise. And this is also why people shouldn't be pushing for him to become a long term Captain of a Federation vessel. Accordingly, a cast portrait released in June 1987 to promote the upcoming series did not include Worf. I really like Michael Dorns pitch. Having a different opinion doesnt necessarily make somebody whiny, feeling the need to insult those that dont share your view usually does though. Dorns pitch is solid, and a good way to go for a series from the Klingon perspective. Worf is the first Klingon main character to appear in Star Trek, and in 11 seasons as a regular character on TNG and then DS9, has appeared in more Star Trek franchise episodes than any other character. They wont care about contradicting the novels, because they are not canon.

Also, klingons have been done to death, though the 32nd century version may have undergone a change like he described. We recently spoke to Gates [McFadden], who said she is talking to them. Worf captained DS9's U.S.S. I also think that Dorn is correct that Kurtzman needs to be willing to let some others like him and Noah Hawley come in and play.
