How and when would you have inserted Michael Dorn into the Show?

[Timewalker]

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

That thug broke your heart and you never recovered, admit it.

No, the lady genuinely does not like Worf, and doesn't like Michael Dorn, either.

Although come to think of it, it would be amusing to see Worf and Chakotay sitting in a bar together (Worf with whatever he drinks and Chakotay with herbal tea), sniffling, asserting their masculinity, and complaining that all Q does is make fun of them. I'd call it the "Chuckles and Micro-Brain" episode.

Worf: This prune juice is delicious.

Chakotay: A-coo-chee-moy-a.

Worf: Gesundheit.

ENTER Q

Q: The testosterone in this bar is giving me the vapors.

Offscreen voice of Takei: Oh My!

NONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!

NO! WORF!



First he ate TNG. Then he ate DS9. He invaded the TOS movies. Let there be ONE version of Star Trek I like that does NOT have the Klingon Devourer in it! 'Cause the show would have become All About Worf. And then Q would have reason to show up and call him Micro-Brain.

No Worf. No Michael Dorn. Voyager didn't need either the character or the actor.

So to answer the OP, my reply is: Nohow, and never.

I concur. We had B'Elanna and she was Klingon enough. This is no disrespect to Dorn, I adore him and Worf, but like you said, the character was overused and abused. There was no need for him or any other character to be recycled in Voyager. It already had a larger and very talented cast with strong characters. (Some of which already did not get enough development).

Sorry Timewalker, I took the joke far too far.

But just a clue for the future, I'm never too serious when I quote Bill.

This is how I see Chuckles and Microbrain cohabitating... Trying to Three Stoogesishly both sit in the first officers jumpseat beside Janeway, and after a lot of slapping and noogies, Beltran is sitting on Dorns lap like he's Santa Claus.

Well since you asked...

Michael Dorn, reprising his role as Worf, would appear in the show as Worf as an interactive addition in the DVD or future BluRay editions of the show.

For any scene that Worf's face appears in the corner of the screen you can activiate him with your remote and he will jump into the story and bash Neelix or Harry Kim's face into a pulpy mess. The episode then continues, but with Neelix or Harry Kim's face digitally mashed to reflect Worf's Smackdown.

That's not what I think would be smart or popular, this is how I would want to handle it. Do you think CBS has already considered this?

 

[Guy Gardener]

I can see how Dornovision could be compatiable with many shows, and not just Star Trek.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

But WHO will dorn the Dornonator?

 

[Guy Gardener]

Maybe there's a sword in a stone somewhere?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Let's just have Amy Pond smite him with her beauty.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Beauty is an obtuse scale of value.

Can any woman score consistent numbers from every vector?

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Karen Gillian can.

 

[Guy Gardener]

You're thinking about the nednose day special from last year?

 

[DeepSpaceWine]

Dorn as a charismatic cult leader, as noted earlier or a mysterious charmer. Something more than the taciturn, uptight warrior.

What should his character be called? Harburr or maybe Peer.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Jon Hamm?

 

[antiquityscion]

The only way I see a Worf appearance legitimately working on Voyager would have been in a flash back where one of the crew members were confronting an issue that reminded them of one they encountered with Worf. The problem is, which character?

Janeway was a scientist and engineer before Captain, so that would be unlikely they met.
Chakotay meeting Worf, eh I just can't envision a meeting of the two.

B'elanna hated her Klingon half and would have thought Worf a douche, if they ever met.

Paris was in jail and Worf would not have gotten along with him anyway.

Kim was too young to have met Worf.

Maybe the flashback involving Tuvok, when he was an instructor at Starfleet or a similar scenario would have been the most likely scenario. Maybe something like Tuvok training a young problem star fleet officer, a new crew member they picked up along the way, or maybe even 7 of 9, and being reminded of Worf. I would have loved seeing a young Worf being pwned by Tuvok in a sparring match flashback scene.

The rest of the crew would not have worked for obvious reasons

I read this as "Pear".

I think Pear would be an awesome name for Dorn's VOY character.

Well, it's funny this far...

Upon further bonding, Chakotay would offer to teach Worf to find his animal guide. Worf would immediately agree, assuming it to be some ferocious, hard-to-kill wild animal. But to his great shock...

Bad enough that it's a tribble - but a tribble wearing a sombrero?

That's when Worf remembers Q showing up on the Enterprise with a mariachi band, and gets suspicious...

Apology accepted. Thank you.

This is how I see Chuckles and Microbrain cohabitating... Trying to Three Stoogesishly both sit in the first officers jumpseat beside Janeway, and after a lot of slapping and noogies, Beltran is sitting on Dorns lap like he's Santa Claus.

If he showed up before Tom and B'Elanna's wedding, I foresee problems as to which man would make the best husband for her. They argue, squabble, get into stupid competitions, and B'Elanna gets so disgusted with them, she announces she's eloping with Seven of Nine (hey, there is a subgenre of fanfic where they are a couple).

This confuses Worf, because he can't bear to lose B'Elanna, but the idea of hitting a girl he doesn't intend to have sex with... what a conundrum!

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

B'Elanna never liked her Klingon side. She's the ultimate human otaku. She would not go with Worf, she would always prefer Mr. White Bread human eternal boy Tommy.

 

[Timewalker]

But this is a comedy/satire I'm musing about. Sure, B'Elanna wouldn't want Worf, but would Worf understand that, and why? To the guys this is Deadly Serious Bizness.

To B'Elanna, they're behaving like children, so she decides to shock them by announcing her elopement with Seven. Seven, even though she might not completely understand the dynamics of male/female relationships, would completely understand that the guys are all about ego and power-tripping and trying to be dominant... and would likely be a willing ally to help B'Elanna in such a situation. Let it be left up to the guys' imaginations as to whether or not anything untoward happens in either B'Elanna's quarters or Cargo Bay 2...
