How did the cast feel when Worf was made a regular?

I know, I was just ribbin' ya.

All the set pics from later seasons make it look like Dorn was an accepted part of the DS9 family. Worf really brought a lot to the show. Jadzia was much more interesting with Worf. He was also like a second first officer for Sisko (a Starfleet one who could handle Starfleet issues for Sisko- stuff he couldn't ask of Kira) I also thought Worf was written better on DS9.

Someone around here some time ago showed a rating chart, Worf's inclusion didn't help like they thought it would, but it didn't hurt ratings either.

I have read (can't think of where, though) that Dorn brought a lot ot levity and fun to the set, the kind of atmosphere that the TNG cast had. Before that the DS9 cast was very "by the book."

Worf's inclusion is what guaranteed I would start watching.

I don't even think Worf was written very well until later in his stay. In all his season four episodes he seems like a petty, dangerously impulsive manchild. They started to figure out how to write him better in season five.

I agree. I also came over to DS9 with Worf and I wasn't crazy about how he was written in that 4th season. His personality seemed very different than we'd last seen him in TNG S7.

To be fair, Jadzia wasn't really all that compelling as a standalone character. Sure, she had a few episodes where she shined, but she was mostly "royal smart person," "Sisko's old friend/mentor," and "person who flirts with everything that's sapient" before Worf rolled around. Becoming Worf's accessory isn't the worst thing in the world.

I agree, it actually have her something consistent to do.
