Great conversation between Locutus and Worf when Locutus says the Klingons will be assimilated. Worf: "I like my spEEcies the way it is..." The entire conversation is good.
*Worf* "At the first sign of betrayal I will kill him, but I promise to return the body intact". *Sisko* "I assume that's a joke?" *Worf* "We will see". (The look Sisko has is priceless.)
Loved it when Worf joined Deep Space Nine in The Way of the Warrior, where he ended up as Strategic Operations Officer; he really seemed more at home on DS9, especially when he commands the Defiant.

Remember that once he killed Gowron,he was at that moment the ruler of the Klingon Empire. He gave the position to Martok. So he's got that going for him,which is nice.
This is my quote and explanation extrapolating what Worf might thick if not say. "I was a warrior born for battle, and would prefer to die that way. I am not a politician, and I believe the job would drive me to do things that would dishonor me."
Worf's grandfather(or maybe his great-grandfather) represented Kirk and Bones in a Klingon trial for the murder of Chancellor Gorkon. The character's name was Colonel Worf, also played by Michael Dorn.
I will never forget staying up late and watching the episode with the spine transplant with my grandmother. The only episode she every really wanted to watch.
Personally I did not care for her first character(Tasha) but did like her second character(her sister). Tasha was far to unprofessional. To panicky, far to quick to react and angry for a Chief of Security. The Captain had to stop her from over reacting several times.
#5 If Duras or the Duras Sisters had taken power, they would have ripped up the accords there and then. And joined a alliance with the Romulans against the Federation. If anything, he made sure the war only came after the Federation had started militarizing for the Dominion conflict. But he definitely is the "Chancelor Maker".
Civil War might still have happened, in much the same way that happened on Bajor with The Circle. The Duras Family-led High Council accepting assistance, materials and supplies from the Romulans would essentially be locked in war with Klingons who still have a bone to pick with the Romulans because of the bad blood created by the Khitomer Massacre. It would divide the Empire, or rather, what is left of it after the Romulans take their cut.
Worf is my all time favorite Star Trek character. True story, when I was about 6 or 7 my dad and I went to a Star Trek convention. I was soo bored and fell asleep. When I was sleeping my dad got Worf's and Q's autograph. Still mad till this day I fell asleep.
I really would have loved (and still love) to have seen a Captain Worf of an Enterprise; coming off of the path he was walking by the end of DS9: older, wiser, and far more experienced. Plus there's such a powerful poetry to having the Captain of an Enterprise be a Klingon after everything that's happened.
That could be, like real barbers, anything from the nostalgia of when he had the opportunity to his just making sh^t up for banter. Barbers have a far more diverse access of customers than they have life experience to possibly relate to... yet they found ways to relate to all of them in banter... so BS is quite likely a real skill with them.
He's also the first person to be a main character in two different Star Trek shows. While Miles O'Brien was into different Star Treks he was just a recurring guest star in Next Generation. They also at one point considered giving Worf his own show
I'd love to see a Klingon focussed show in the first years of Martok's chancellorship and Worf's role as ambassador. Lead show runner Brannon Braga. That would be bad ass!
At least First Contact and Insurrection explained why he was away from DS9 so he could be on the Enterprise-E (the Defiant getting damaged in the Borg battle, and him being on the Manzar colony installing a new defense perimeter and needing a lift back to DS9). But Nemesis has no explanation for why he's back on the Enterprise-E despite becoming an ambassador at the end of DS9.
In Insurrection, the explanation for what Worf was doing there was Picard saying "Mr. Worf, what the hell are you doing here?!" and Worf's reply just kinda petered out.
@@johnbockelie3899 The worst part is that he kept talking about how the Romulans had no honor, yet had within that same year fought alongside them in the Dominion War.

He's arguing from the domino effect. Worf pushed over that first domino. He didn't directly cause the Klingon/Federation war, he just precipitated the first event that eventually lead to that war.
@@Craxin01 the way it was going, it would have happened anyway with sisko saving the detapa council members. Worf turning gowron down like a classic tinder date didnt really change much and gowron threw the accords out the airlock before he even spoke to worf. only thing it did was cut worf off from the empire yet again. but if you wanna talk dominos, it all started at khitomer with duras' dad being a traitor and mogh being killed and then subsequently blamed for it which started the chain of events leading to gowron being chacellor in the first place
@Craxin01 Indeed, because if worfs Father wasn't blamed for khitomer then dumas woukdnt have killed kheylar and tried to kill kurn and picard and worf woukdnt have had any reason to kill duras which woukd have led to duras having the chancellorship over gowron as duras had more power and support. Which means gowron would have been killed off either way really, the poor crazy bastard. 🤣🤣
I can clearly remember watching TNG episodes when I was a teenager, knowing I'm witnessing a revolution that will change the world. It's 2021, I was correct.
Thing to keep in mind is if Duras had been allowed to become Chancellor, the Klingon Empire would have aligned with the Romulans (or at least been influenced by them behind behind the scene) which would have made the Star Trek Universe much different by the time DS9 might have come along.
That would be awesome... Have you read Star Trek TNG Collateral Damage? We see Worf Commanding the Enterprise and doing a fine job as Acting Captain. All his experiences led up to the events in that book and is the way I imagine his Captaincy.
While it would be nice, it would also be a break of continuete since he was reprimanded in DS9 (Ep: 6x16 "Change of heart") for saving Jadzea instead of meeting a Dominion informant. Which might have very well cost millions of lives. After handing out the reprimand Sisko told him that due to this he will most likly never get his own command.
@@onionring8206 The events of DS9 would've been more than 25 years ago from "present day" in Picard. Sisko did say getting a command of his own would be "unlikely", but not impossible.

When u mentioned words other brother, I thought u meant martok but yep that's another one. Worf really didn't take sides with gowron the first time, he was just avenging khalar. Great vid!
I love Commander Riker but Worf is my other favorite. He’s so freaking cool and extremely sweet. Loved and adored his relationship with Jadzia. His hair thing, I think makes super sense. He was raised by humans, he’s an officer and he had short hair. I loved that the show at least began growing his hair to go with the character as adapting more to his Klingon roots.
Worf is actually killed and revived a dozen or so more times that you don't give him credit for: all the time loops in which he was killed and then brought back (along with everyone else aboard Enterprise) in "Cause and Effect".
So I'm currently rewatching TNG and as far as Worf's badassery is concerned, I'm not buying it. It seems that every time they want to put forth the idea that some creature or person is really strong and a deadly threat, they have them beat up Worf. He basically loses 90% of the fights they put him in.
Also everybody forgets he changed Klingon politics again (3× total) when he arranged to set the Kahless clone up as the Klingon "Spiritual Leader" to prevent an inevitable civil war!
Well Sean that was interesting and I do think Worf is a great character and his arch in the series was good to end on DS9 was great. THANK for sharing.
I couldn't get past the first part of the pilot of Picard. I loved Star Trek up until Insurrection and Nemesis, (Enterprise had some great characters but was beginning to change the canon) but the worldview that the series now has, (the corruption of Starfleet and how Vulcans are bad) has gone so far away from the Great Bird of the Galaxy's vision that I get outraged in just a few scenes. It's so sad that a series that was all about hope for the future of humanity is now just another dystopia.
The ponytail is fitting if you know of ancient warrior cultures such as the Samurai or the "Vikings". In some cultures, cut hair meant you lost a fight and were ceremonially dishonored.
@@sarahscott5305 For most of that time he was alienated from Klingon culture and carried the dishonor of his father's alleged treason, along with Worf's own discommendation.
In Insurrection you also have to consider that everyone, except Data, is experiencing a reversal of their aging, starting to experience more adolescent traits seen in young adulthood. Worf gets a gorscht (pimple, zit) and experiences another teenage trait a shift to a night owl circadian rhythm (stay up late at night and sleep in late in the morning).
While now in-lore Worf is captain of the Enterprise E, it started out that Berman and Braga had no idea what happened with Worf on DS9, and NOR DID THEY CARE. Lore had to be rewritten because of that oversight.
Best comedy character in Trek. His looks during serious dialogues are class. In the TNG episode where the probe erases their memories he is always in the background thinking he will be the leader, his facial expressions are hilarious. Add those too classic lines such as "I am NOT a merry man", "Find him and kill him", "Death to the opposition" and the long list of "Klingon's do not....." which are much more pithy than the rules of acquisition and we have the funniest character in trek.
_Star Trek Online_ has Worf instead return to the Klingon Empire. He becomes Gintok to House Martok, serving Lady Sirella after J'mpok defeats Martok. Instead Data (in B4's body) is mentioned as captaining the _Enterprise-E_ until the ship is lost sometime later. Data does, however, save all hands and return to Earth. He is shown visiting Sela after her story arc. Worf, meanwhile, gets numerous appearances, and the player gets to interact with him many times, over the course of the story missions dealing with the Klingons and the Alliances. He is also prominent if you choose to play as a KDF officer. Worf was, until recently, also the one who voiced narrations and level-ups for KDF officers until recently. Michael Dorn apparently said he did not like how his character was written in some parts of the game, and no longer wants to voice in it. To be fair, Worf is made to make more than a few stupid mistakes, such as leaving Sirella's son, M'ven, alone when he was supposed to be guarding him.
I was gonna say; not sure Worf is old enough to have dealings with Enterprise C. If it were Dorn, I was tempted to say it's more likely Colonel Worf, the grandfather. But is he young enough?
What, no mention of "Colonel Worf" in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country? Definitely needs an honorable mention for being in two different generations of Trek!
Bob Justman’s original idea was for Worf to be a Klingon Marine, according to Larry Nemecek’s Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion. He was more of a utility infielder during TNG’s first season, and in The Most Toys, he was assigned to take Data’s place when he was seemingly KIA at the start of that episode.
Here's something most do not know. Big, bad Worf never was a victor in any IRL fight. He was a bad-ass on the holodeck, but for two full seasons and to the end of the S3e1, he got his ass bitched each time. It was two guards just inside the Duras Sister's quarters -- who, in a previous life, had guarded the Prince, to "Stay Here and Make Sure
Even as a child Nick Stahl had the most unsettling & evil look that most actors could never pull of in a million years. Glad to see him making a comeback recently in FTWD. One of the most underrated talents of his generation. Was actually a great choice to replace Furlong as John Connor in T3 and Carnivale s1 is one of the 5 best seasons of television HBO has ever put to film, in no small part due to his performance alongside Clancy Brown and so many other great character actors.
Good list. But if you listen to the Klingon commander's voice in Yesterday's Enterprise, it's not Michael Dorn's voice at all. From the episode's entry on Memory Alpha: "The shooting script indicated that the voice heard over the com demanding the crew's surrender could be "possibly Worf" however in the episode the demand ended up being made by an unknown Klingon."
Alright Sean, the main thing in this video, that I need to know is... where, oh where, my dear, did you get that awesome shirt! I want! Feel free to send it to me!! Thanks 😊
TrekCulture: We're not talking about parallel universes, alternate timelines - only the main timeline. Also TrekCulture: In "Yesterday's Enterprise..." (fantastic episode and one of my all-time favourites...but still an alternate timeline).
Yes; she was number 1 in the cage and both parts of the menagerie, she was Christine Chapel McCoy's head nurse, Deanna Troi's mother and the voice of the computer in TOS and TNG, not sure if she was the computer voice in the original movies or not. Basically atleast or voice is in every episode of TOS and TNG.
Not sure if it's true, but I think it was a post somewhere said she put in some studio time recording phonetic phrases. She thus bequeathed her voice for lines to be spoken by the computer in scripts not yet written.
Worf's hair in TNG is a Klingon child's haircut, much like his sash was a child's sash until he went through the ritual with the pain sticks. I don't remember at what age a Klingon is supposed to go through that ritual, but Worf went through it many years later than a Klingon who grew up among Klingons would have. So in my head canon, he changed his hairstyle to the adult Klingon hairstyle only after completing the ritual. And it just takes years to go from a bob cut to a long ponytail.
So far, he keept deeply contact with Klingong. AND of Screen, he became more Klingon / Fed. Coordinator, but more from Klingon Side. Often on Chronos and different Places. Sources: Star Trek Online.... there Michael Dorn Playes a really Huge Role. Connecting the Iconias. - Envolved with things 3 round ( Fed. Klingons. And Tal Shiar - Sela ) . ....
"Sir, I must protest, I am *not* a merry man!" ~ Worf, 'Qpid'.
They gave him some great one liners.😄
Even the lines that could have been weak, Dorn just delivered them so perfectly!

Not on my watch! Get back in there!
Nah man,
Duras would have dissolved the Khitomer agreement sooner. Not Worf's fault.
Also everybody forgets he changed Klingon politics again (3× total) when he arranged to set the Kahless clone up as the Klingon "Spiritual Leader" to prevent an inevitable civil war!
Even before he sided with Gowron, he killed Duras in the Rite of Vengeance.
Well Sean that was interesting and I do think Worf is a great character and his arch in the series was good to end on DS9 was great. THANK for sharing.
Thumbs up for Captain Worf!
Wow I actually didnt know some of these, especially worf becoming Capt of Enterprise E.
10:07 , was this Denise's final filmed episode? That quick shot of her waving, is an obvious blooper that seemed to make it into production.
I hope we get more Worf in the next series of Picard
Wort wort wort
How about the next series AFTER the picard "series".
I couldn't get past the first part of the pilot of Picard. I loved Star Trek up until Insurrection and Nemesis, (Enterprise had some great characters but was beginning to change the canon) but the worldview that the series now has, (the corruption of Starfleet and how Vulcans are bad) has gone so far away from the Great Bird of the Galaxy's vision that I get outraged in just a few scenes. It's so sad that a series that was all about hope for the future of humanity is now just another dystopia.
Michael Dorn has said his return to Trek is *not* for Picard.
STP has burned up all of its goodwill, as far as I am concerned. I don't care what happens on that show; it's not Star Trek to me.
Would enjoy seeing worf as captain of a ship in his own series
Wish they had done that instead of Discovery. I'd much rather series go forwards than backwards in time.
@@paulmccloud9395 they went 1000 years forward
When you think about it, Worf and Ensign Ro had the same haircut before the ponytail.
The ponytail is fitting if you know of ancient warrior cultures such as the Samurai or the "Vikings".
In some cultures, cut hair meant you lost a fight and were ceremonially dishonored.
But what about on TNG when Worf had that cute little bob-hairdo?
@@sarahscott5305 For most of that time he was alienated from Klingon culture and carried the dishonor of his father's alleged treason, along with Worf's own discommendation.
Jeremy Aster. Rejected by Worf, a couple of years later he went back in time, got involved in drugs, and disassembled Robocop. All Worfs fault.
'That would only encourage them...
' line is one i feel true kinship with. If only i could find the darn word combo to find a clip XP
In Insurrection you also have to consider that everyone, except Data, is experiencing a reversal of their aging, starting to experience more adolescent traits seen in young adulthood. Worf gets a gorscht (pimple, zit) and experiences another teenage trait a shift to a night owl circadian rhythm (stay up late at night and sleep in late in the morning).
Is nobody gonna talk about him being a Public Defender?
I loved this!!! Can you do one on the Klingon language??
Hey Seán, You dug deep for this one and Worf deserved it!
Keep up the great job you're doing! 🖖🏻👨🏻🦲👍🏻
Jem Ha'dar: Victory is life!
Worf: No. I am.
Jem Ha'dar: You are NOT life. Klingon.
Worf: I have lived three.
Dpock: I've been dead for a few months.
Worf's first appearance was in Star Trek Undiscovered Country as Captain Kirk's Lawyer in the kangaroo court and he had a full ponytail.
Yeah, Michael Dorn wasn't intended to be a main but was made a main BEFORE the series aired, hence why he's in the title sequence from day one.
5:57 Jeromy goes on to start a drug cartel that had to be taken out by Robo Cop. 🤣
We had a great big dog growing up named Worf he was awesome ☺️
While now in-lore Worf is captain of the Enterprise E, it started out that Berman and Braga had no idea what happened with Worf on DS9, and NOR DID THEY CARE. Lore had to be rewritten because of that oversight.
Best comedy character in Trek. His looks during serious dialogues are class. In the TNG episode where the probe erases their memories he is always in the background thinking he will be the leader, his facial expressions are hilarious. Add those too classic lines such as "I am NOT a merry man", "Find him and kill him", "Death to the opposition" and the long list of "Klingon's do not....." which are much more pithy than the rules of acquisition and we have the funniest character in trek.
Fascinating and Informative video. All Hail Sean!!!!
Good ol’ Worf
"Worf is more badass than we give him credit for"
Wait, even more?
That sounds much more sarcastic than I meant it to be
_Star Trek Online_ has Worf instead return to the Klingon Empire. He becomes Gintok to House Martok, serving Lady Sirella after J'mpok defeats Martok. Instead Data (in B4's body) is mentioned as captaining the _Enterprise-E_ until the ship is lost sometime later. Data does, however, save all hands and return to Earth. He is shown visiting Sela after her story arc. Worf, meanwhile, gets numerous appearances, and the player gets to interact with him many times, over the course of the story missions dealing with the Klingons and the Alliances. He is also prominent if you choose to play as a KDF officer. Worf was, until recently, also the one who voiced narrations and level-ups for KDF officers until recently. Michael Dorn apparently said he did not like how his character was written in some parts of the game, and no longer wants to voice in it. To be fair, Worf is made to make more than a few stupid mistakes, such as leaving Sirella's son, M'ven, alone when he was supposed to be guarding him.
And when you're looking for him as a Klingon Recruit, you get sidetracked by a traitor you get to kill.
This edition is worthy of a Klingon opera!
With regards to #4, Dorn did not voice the Klingon, as I recall it was done on purpose.
I agree. I just watched that part of the episode to make sure it was, in fact, not Worf. Not sure what "script notes" say that...
Just listened to it again. It almost sounds like Martok. I'm sure the character hadn't been created yet at that point but still an amusing theory.
I was gonna say; not sure Worf is old enough to have dealings with Enterprise C. If it were Dorn, I was tempted to say it's more likely Colonel Worf, the grandfather. But is he young enough?
@@alm2187 it's the same time but alternate reality. Worf would be the same age as he was in the prime universe.
WOW! Way cool.... VERY Informative!
Worf also died in Star Trek Generations with the rest of the crew only to be brought back to life when Kirk and Picard stopped Soran
Good point! He also died several times in that time loop episode.
Michael Dorn also played Colonel Worf in Undiscovered Country. Worf's grandfather.
Worf is such a badass hes the only character to get his ass kicked more then anyone else in any series
Well you know what they say, it's not how many times you get knocked down it's how many of those times you get back up.
Worf is my favourite character on Star Trek
And 0. Word was in chips tv show as a chp officer. Work, martok and Scotty are my favorites in all Star Trek ka’pla
"I'd like my hair trimmed. And not like the last time!"
That the episode where people were being abducted off the Enterprise and experimented on?
Ah, another 10 Things You Didn't Know about... DOTHEROMULANWARBIRDFORGODSAKE!!!
What, no mention of "Colonel Worf" in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country? Definitely needs an honorable mention for being in two different generations of Trek!
Colonel Worf is Mogh's father, Lt Commander Worf was named for him. Same actor, but different characters.
@@DavidLemmo I have been out nerded! Thanks for the explanation!
@@DavidLemmo so it's his grandfather 👍🏾
@@slow_rednline4874exactly
Bob Justman’s original idea was for Worf to be a Klingon Marine, according to Larry Nemecek’s Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion. He was more of a utility infielder during TNG’s first season, and in The Most Toys, he was assigned to take Data’s place when he was seemingly KIA at the start of that episode.
It's time to get some EE love in Lower Decks, and with Worf as first officer
Qapla with a Vulcan 🖖🏻 greeting? Come on man..
I just realized that’s Paul Sorvino who played Paulie in Goodfellas playing Nikolai Rozhenko!
Here's something most do not know.
Big, bad Worf never was a victor in any IRL fight.
He was a bad-ass on the holodeck, but for two full seasons and to the end of the S3e1, he got his ass bitched each time.
It was two guards just inside the Duras Sister's quarters -- who, in a previous life, had guarded the Prince, to "Stay Here and Make Sure
Even as a child Nick Stahl had the most unsettling & evil look that most actors could never pull of in a million years. Glad to see him making a comeback recently in FTWD. One of the most underrated talents of his generation. Was actually a great choice to replace Furlong as John Connor in T3 and Carnivale s1 is one of the 5 best seasons of television HBO has ever put to film, in no small part due to his performance alongside Clancy Brown and so many other great character actors.
Good list. But if you listen to the Klingon commander's voice in Yesterday's Enterprise, it's not Michael Dorn's voice at all. From the episode's entry on Memory Alpha: "The shooting script indicated that the voice heard over the com demanding the crew's surrender could be "possibly Worf" however in the episode the demand ended up being made by an unknown Klingon."
One thing that might not be known about Michael Dorn is that he played Colonel Worf in Star Trek the Undiscovered Country.
We *NEED* to see Captain Worf in Picard at some point
Alright Sean, the main thing in this video, that I need to know is... where, oh where, my dear, did you get that awesome shirt! I want!
Feel free to send it to me!! Thanks 😊
Denise Crosby: "prepare for ramming speed"
Data: ;)
TrekCulture: We're not talking about parallel universes, alternate timelines - only the main timeline.
Also TrekCulture: In "Yesterday's Enterprise..." (fantastic episode and one of my all-time favourites...but still an alternate timeline).
That was in specific reference to how many times he's died and recovered...not the overall list of things we don't know about Worf.
"What's your name, Dog?"
"Worf!"
Nice use of the work in progress Enterprise E in the thumbnail.
Worf became captain of the Enterprise E. That's just awesome.
Well researched video.
Aside from appearances is Majel Barrett credited in more episodes including voice acting?
Yes; she was number 1 in the cage and both parts of the menagerie, she was Christine Chapel McCoy's head nurse, Deanna Troi's mother and the voice of the computer in TOS and TNG, not sure if she was the computer voice in the original movies or not. Basically atleast or voice is in every episode of TOS and TNG.
Not sure if it's true, but I think it was a post somewhere said she put in some studio time recording phonetic phrases. She thus bequeathed her voice for lines to be spoken by the computer in scripts not yet written.
Worf's hair in TNG is a Klingon child's haircut, much like his sash was a child's sash until he went through the ritual with the pain sticks. I don't remember at what age a Klingon is supposed to go through that ritual, but Worf went through it many years later than a Klingon who grew up among Klingons would have. So in my head canon, he changed his hairstyle to the adult Klingon hairstyle only after completing the ritual. And it just takes years to go from a bob cut to a long ponytail.
So far, he keept deeply contact with Klingong. AND of Screen, he became more Klingon / Fed. Coordinator, but more from Klingon Side. Often on Chronos and different Places. Sources: Star Trek Online.... there Michael Dorn Playes a really Huge Role. Connecting the Iconias. - Envolved with things 3 round ( Fed. Klingons. And Tal Shiar - Sela ) . ....
