An introduction that has become as quotable among the best Star Trek.

The return of Star Trek’s most utilised character, Worf, would be the first sight of the character since Nemesis in 2003 and a huge leap in the development of Star Trek's most famous Klingon. Now working freelance for Starfleet Intelligence, the son of Mogh, slayer of Gowron, member of the House of Martok has rediscovered himself.

The change in Worf's character following the end of the Dominion War provided one of the biggest shifts seen in Picard and fans would probably argue it was for the right reasons given that Worf has more screentime than any other person in Star Trek history - and he didn't even get his own series.

Picard managed to nuance Worf even further than before. Returning him to Operations gold for the first time since The Way of the Warrior he became a champion of pacifism and bearer of a new Dan Curry designed weapon, the kur'leth.

Picard also gave us near confirmation on screen in one golden line that Worf had commanded a starship. Side note that it's fate wasn't in any way his fault and therefore the Enterprise-E wasn't an option to help save the Federation.

A Star Trek fan from birth, I love to dive into every aspect of the franchise in front and behind the screen. There's something here that's kept me interested for the best part of four decades! Now I'm getting back into writing and using Star Trek as my first line of literary attack. If I'm not here on WhatCulture then you're more than welcome to come and take a look at my blog, Some Kind of Star Trek at http://SKoST.co.uk or maybe follow me on Twitter as @TheWarpCore. Sometimes I force myself not to talk about Star Trek.
