Geek favorites Bryan Fuller and Bryan Singer have been forthcoming about their hopes for bringing Star Trek back to the small screen, after the release of J.J. Abrams’ elusive sequel to his Trek movie reboot next summer. However, it turns out those two aren’t the only ones with big dreams about a new TV series set in that sci-fi universe – Michael Dorn is also taking steps to reprise his signature Trek role on a spinoff, tentatively titled Star Trek: Captain Worf.

I don’t want a captain who thinks any day is a good day to die.

Not Worf—it’s Woof. Ask Lwaxana Troi.

I'd like to see a Klingon policy implemented towards radical islamicist terrorists.

I guess he needs some buvks to keep his personal F86 Sabre jet fueled and maintained.

There was a short lived, but highly rated cartoon called Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys, that used the voice talent of both Michael Dorn and Jerry Doyle of Babylon 5.

Unfortunately, most people didn’t look past the premise of the show to see the rather good science fiction within.

Likewise, when it was finally put out on DVD, the quality was awful, poorly designed and with no extras. The cheapest possible job, which is a pity for a series that could have been something of a cult favorite, like the spinoff Star Trek, the Animated Series, which had good enough writing to be considered canon to the series, by many.

Anyone ever play this game? It was during the FMV games of the 90’s. Michael Dorn was the star actor. It was well done.

It was only when Worf joined DS9 that the ratings spiked and became watchable.

The last season,especially the last half of it,was the very best Star Trek, bar none. A lot of the reason is Michael Dorn.

If you meant the DOMINION arc storyline, it beats the tired Borg’ storyline by a mile. The DS9 supporting cast was weak except for Chief O Brien and Quark.

Plus they didn’t have a hot chick in the series like T’Pol, Seven of Nine etc. Maybe that’s why it’s underrated LOL

I hope it’s on Showtime. Star Trek needs nudity.

So as captain he'll finally get some respect?

Worf gets denied again and again

worf never became captain ... he ended up on an outpost somewhere

of course, this will just be another play on the black-man-as-leader motif they’ve been shoving down out throats since before 2008
