Michael Dorn hopes Worf's son Alexander will return in the proposed Star Trek: Picard spinoff, despite Worf being a terrible father. Terry Matalas promises fans, and Dorn, that he has plans for Alexander in Star Trek: Legacy, exploring their difficult relationship. Worf's desire to fix his mistakes as a father could lead to the redemption of his failures in Legacy, if greenlit for production.
Michael Dorn has revealed his hopes for the return of Worf's son in the proposed Star Trek: Picard spinoff, noting that the Klingon was "a terrible father". Worf had a son with Klingon ambassador K'Ehleyr (Suzie Plakson) during Star Trek: The Next Generation, and was left to raise his son alone when she was murdered. Worf's son Alexander Rozhenko had a difficult upbringing, split between Earth and the USS Enterprise-d, which was exacerbated by having to live up to his father's impossible expectations.

Cillian Murphy recently had some choice words for his film Red Eye (watch it Here), a Wes Craven-directed thriller that was released back in 2005. But he wasn’t entirely negative. So that got me thinking: Is Red Eye a good film? Or is it more in the so bad it’s good category? I personally saw Red Eye in theaters and have always had a soft spot for it. But if Oppenheimer‘s own Cillian Murphy has an issue with it, maybe it’s worth a second gander. So let’s see whether it’s good, bad, or somewhere in between as we revisit Red Eye in the video embedded above!
Scripted by Carl Ellsworth, who crafted the story with Dan Foos, Red Eye has the following synopsis: In the wake of her grandmother’s funeral, hotel manager Lisa Reisert is waiting to fly back home when she meets charming Jackson Rippner at check-in.

Suzie Plakson has played multiple characters in Star Trek, including a Vulcan, a half-Klingon/half-human, a member of the Q Continuum, and an Andorian. Lt. Selar, portrayed by Plakson, appears in one episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation as part of the medical team on the USS Enterprise-d. Miss Q, another character played by Plakson, appears in an episode of Star Trek: Voyager and has a romantic connection with Q in the Q Continuum.
Suzie Plakson has played four different Star Trek characters throughout her career. Because of the often elaborate make-up and prosthetics necessary for Star Trek aliens, actors can often portray multiple characters without causing confusion. Many actors, such as Jeffrey Combs, Vaughn Armstrong, and Marc Alaimo have taken on multiple Star Trek roles over the course of their careers.

Lt. Worf almost had a romance with Vulcan Lt. Selar on Star Trek: The Next Generation. The idea was scrapped because having a Vulcan crew member would make the dynamic too similar to the original series. Worf ended up having a romantic relationship with a different character, K'Ehleyr, who tragically died.
Star Trek: The Next Generation's Klingon Security Chief Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn) almost had a romance with a Vulcan crew member. Following the adventures of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the USS Enterprise-d, Tng built a name for itself separate from Star Trek: The Original Series with a new crew of Starfleet officers. Because Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry wanted to distance Tng from Tos, Vulcans did not make regular appearances on Tng. Having a Vulcan as one of the main crew members on Picard's Enterprise might have made the dynamic feel too similar to Tos.

The glory-obsessed, wild-eyed Klingon character of Gowron (Robert O'Reilly) was first introduced in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Reunion", in which the leadership of the Klingon High Council was in a state of flux. It seemed that the old Chancellor K'mpec (Charles Cooper) was being slowly poisoned, and one of two men was set to take his place. There was the dishonorable Duras (Patrick Massett) or the mysterious Gowron. Ultimately, Worf (Michael Dorn) killed Duras in a fit of rage after Duras murdered Worf's mate K'Ehlyr (Suzie Plakson), leaving Gowron in charge. Gowron would sit at the head of the Klingon High Council as Chancellor until the events of the "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" episode "Tacking Into the Wind", when Worf would slay him as well.
Gowron has always been a fan favorite, as Robert O'Reilly's performance was often enjoyably over-the-top. Grit your teeth and growl the phrase "Gloohry to yooooou,...

Romance can be pretty complicated when you're a Starfleet Officer, especially if you're Lieutenant Commander Worf, a Klingon who was raised by humans. Worf, played by Michael Dorn, was a major character on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," and "Star Trek: Picard," and over the course of those three series he was given two major, tragic love interests. His romance and marriage with Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) on "Deep Space Nine" has become a favorite pairing of many "Star Trek" fans (myself included), but he had another love affair that ended in despair, with a half-Klingon ambassador named K'ehleyr, played by Suzie Plakson. Originally, however, there were plans for a different character played by Plakson to end up in a romance with Worf, leading to a bit of a spat between the writers on "The Next Generation."

"Lower Decks" highlights the importance of lower-ranking officers on the Enterprise-d, offering a glimpse into their lives and the dangers they face. Star Trek: Lower Decks expands on this concept with a whole show centered on the adventures of lower-ranking crew members on the USS Cerritos. The Lower Deckers of the Star Trek universe have become increasingly important, and here are the top 10 lower-ranking crew members who served on the Enterprise under Captain Picard.
While Star Trek: The Next Generation may focus on the senior officers on the USS Enterprise-d, several important Lower Decks officers have memorable appearances throughout the series. As the commander of the Enterprise-d, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) relies on every one of the crew members on his ship to do their jobs well. The senior officers on the Enterprise may be the ones who get the credit for saving the day, but it takes officers...

Kirstie Alley's salary dispute resulted in her replacement as Lt. Saavik in Star Trek III and IV, with conflicting stories about the basis of the dispute. Robin Curtis turned down the role of K'Ehleyr, Worf's lover in Tng, due to prior commitments, and Suzie Plakson was cast instead. Robin Curtis later played Vulcan villain Tallera in Tng's "Gambit," opposing alien influence on Vulcan culture. It is unclear what happened to the Isolationists after the episode.
K'Ehleyr (Suzie Plakson), the lover of Star Trek: The Next Generation's Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn) was originally offered to Robin Curtis, who replaced Kirstie Alley as Lt. Saavik in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. A dispute over pay meant that Kirstie Alley didn't reprise the role of Saavik for Star Trek 3, although there are conflicting stories about the basis of that dispute.

Alexander Rozhenko, son of Lt. Worf, had a human name because he was raised among humans. The clash between Worf's Klingon heritage and human upbringing caused many problems for him in Star Trek, which is why he wanted a different path for his son. Alexander took on the surname Rozhenko from Worf's adoptive human parents and eventually reconciled with his father and forged his own path.
There's a perfectly good reason why Alexander Rozhenko (Brian Bonsall), the son of Star Trek: The Next Generation's Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn) has a human name and not a Klingon one. Alexander was introduced in the Tng episode "Reunion", and appeared in eight episodes of Tng and two episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Worf and Alexander's relationship was strained, as the youngster didn't match up to his father's idealized image of a Klingon Warrior. The boy's human name likely exacerbated the...

Star Trek recast Alexander Rozhenko multiple times due to the Klingon aging plot hole and the desire for different actors to bring something new to the role. The first actor to play Alexander, Jon Steuer, was deemed too shy to convincingly portray a young Klingon, leading to his recasting. Despite the challenges of Klingon aging, Alexander appeared to age normally between seasons 5 and 7 of The Next Generation, and a future version of him, played by James Sloyan, traveled back in time to convince Worf to send him to a Klingon training academy.
Star Trek recast the character of Alexander Rozhenko, son of Worf (Michael Dorn) multiple times in the 1990s, for a variety of reasons. First introduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation as the son of Worf and half-Human diplomat K'Ehleyr (Suzie Plakson), Alexander had a fraught relationship with his father.

Starfleet's first ever Klingon officer, Captain Worf (Michael Dorn) has killed around 27 Klingons during his history in Star Trek. While commanding the USS Defiant, Worf was even accused of killing 441 Klingon civilians, but this was revealed to be an elaborate deception on the part of the Klingon Empire to discredit Starfleet's highest-profile Klingon officer. For a society that is defined by both combat and honor, it's hardly surprising that Worf racked up some such a high kill count when it came to his fellow Klingons.
In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Worf's service record earned a black mark from Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), who objected to Worf killing a fellow Klingon while in Starfleet uniform, regardless of the shared traditions. With one or two notable exceptions, the killings committed by Worf after this admonishment were done so in the line of duty. Here are the estimated 22 Klingons that Worf...

Michael Dorn's Worf was a regular in both Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine but there's some debate over which show gave him the better story. Although he wasn't originally intended as a main Tng character, Worf has clocked up the most Star Trek appearances as a series regular. Worf's arc was one of the most satisfying Star Trek stories which took him from being a Klingon outlier in Tng to becoming a Federation ambassador to the Klingon Empire at the end of DS9.
As the Chief of Security aboard the USS Enterprise-d, Worf was often at the forefront of some of Tng's best episodes. However, the Tng movies mishandled the Klingon by largely ignoring his ongoing DS9 arc after Worf joined the cast of the spinoff series. The reasons for this were rooted in the schism between DS9 and Tng, but the films...

Star Trek: The Next Generation's Worf (Michael Dorn) had a complex relationship with the Klingon Empire, which was fixed during the events of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Raised by his adoptive human parents and the first Klingon to enroll in Starfleet, Worf often faced prejudice as a result. This contributed to an inner conflict within Worf between his loyalty to Starfleet and his loyalty to his Klingon heritage.
Worf is set to return for Star Trek: Picard season 3, and it's clear he's still in crisis. It's been revealed that Worf has embraced a life of pacifism, the reasons for which will presumably be expanded upon during Picard's final season. It's implied by how Worf talks about Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd) that he has finally been able to make peace with his Klingon heritage, and the betrayal of his father by the Empire.

Star Wars fans are gearing up to see Rosario Dawson play Ahsoka Tano in The Mandalorian season 2, but while the actress has yet to confirm the reports swirling about her journeying to that galaxy far, far away, she did make clear that she’s a lifelong fan not just of Star Wars but also of Star Trek.
Let’s say for the moment that she’s got a Wars role in the bag, who would Dawson like to play in the Star Trek universe – or, if she had her choice, Star Trek: Picard, specifically? Well, in a chat with Variety, the actress revealed that her dream role in the franchise would be Q, seeing as playing the almost-omniscient being who exists outside of time and space would allow her to pop up all over the place.

Some episodes of television are elevated by the performance of the regular actors, and with a star of the calibre of Patrick Stewart, Star Trek: The Next Generation is not short of such episodes. Equally important, however, are the performances of guest actors brought in for a one-off appearance who elevate any scenes in which they take part and work with the regular actors to create something really memorable.

James' weekly Star Trek: Tng look-back arrives at a great Worf episode with almost no stupid bits. Here's his review of The Emissary...
This review contains spoilers.
2.19 The Emissary
The episode opens with Worf, Data, Geordi La Forge, Dr. Pulaski and Riker playing poker (wait, who's steering this damn ship!?) and being impressed by Worf's cold, emotionless demeanour during the game. And when you're playing against an Android, that's saying something. Before he can clean them all out, though, the crew is summoned to the bridge to listen to a phonecall from Starfleet Command, instructing them to collect a probe and not ask any questions until they open it.
Confused but obedient, the Enterprise follows the order. After an unnecessarily long docking and unboxing sequence, it turns out that the probe contains K'Ehleyr, a federation emissary who is a half-human, half-Klingon woman. Riker attempts to smooth talk her,...

Brent Spiner demonstrates his considerable range in this week's Star Trek: Tng look-back at The Schizoid Man...
This review contains spoilers.
2.6 The Schizoid Man
The Enterprise is called to the aid of Dr. Ira Graves, a cybernetics specialist who has become ill. An away team consisting of Troi, Worf, Data and one of the ship's doctors transports to the planet's surface and spends some time with Graves and his assistant while the Enterprise attends to urgent matters further afield.

2.6 The Schizoid Man
The Enterprise is called to the aid of Dr. Ira Graves, a cybernetics specialist who has become ill. An away team consisting of Troi, Worf, Data and one of the ship's doctors transports to the planet's surface and spends some time with Graves and his assistant while the Enterprise attends to urgent matters further afield. After insulting the woman in the away team (and then, just for good measure, insulting all women everywhere) the doctor informs him that he has a terminal disease and will be dead more or less within the day. Good job they got there in time!

I’m not so sure if How I Met Your Mother is playing it smart by announcing the Autumn of Breakups so blatantly and so early in the season. “The Pre-Nup” is only the second episode and we’re already being told that every couple – with the exception of Marshall and Lily, will break up sometime this fall. That’s a pretty bold statement, but I simply cannot get over how quickly the show is strolling into that territory. Of course none of these couples are going to last. We’ve seen the future, we know Barney and Quinn don’t get married, and we know Robin and Nick won’t last. Hell, we’ve known since the first season Victoria isn’t the mother, so why put us through the motions? How can we, as an audience, ever come to enjoy these couples if we know they’re doomed to fail?...

Katy Perry has entered the pantheon of pop songstresses to grace an episode of "How I Met Your Mother" -- and though she earns high marks for playing Zoey's (Jennifer Morrison) dim cousin, "Honey," she hardly steals the show.
That honor goes to Marshall's (Jason Segel) mother Judy (Suzie Plakson) and brother Marcus (Ned Rolsma).
As is the case with most good "Himym" offerings, the story is told via gimmick. The gang relaying events to Marshall over the phone, while he lingers in Minnesota after his father's funeral. Slightly relapsing into his Midwestern childhood persona, Marshall politely answers every call "Eriksen residence" and contends with his mom and brother eavesdropping on all of his conversations.
Honey, and her stupidity, are the catalyst for these conversations, but the real story is that Ted (Josh Radnor) has finally realized his feelings for Zoey. And Zoey has finally realized her feelings for Ted.

This past weekend at the Hilton Universal City, hundreds of stars gathered to meet and greet fans, and reunite with old friends at the HollywoodXpo. For Trekkies the highlight of the event was the Star Trek: Of Gods and Men Internet series cast reunion. Personally, we preferred a few other star spottings—The Brady Bunch's Susan Olsen, Bewitched's Erin Murphy, Happy Days' Erin Moran, and Lost in Space's June Lockhart and Mark Goddard.
We asked some of the celebrities why they come to these kinds of events. Replies ranged from selfless charitable giving to a deep respect for their fans to a simple need to earn some cash.
We asked Susan Olsen, who played Cindy (the youngest one in curls) on The Brady Bunch, why she likes to do these kind of shows and she joked, "I actually don't. I really don't like these things.
