As someone that plays Star Trek Online (and enjoys the story presented there.) i think it would be awesome if they did they falling apart of the Fed/Klingon alliance and show it from the point of view of Worf who has strong ties to both. It could start out as little arguments, kinda in the background of the show, then get more and more serious till it starts effecting Worf and his command directly finalizing in Worf having to ultamtly choose his side

Now this is something that would have many paying attention, there are way to many questions that were never answered, but it has to done right, unlike Star Trek Enterprise series. With all the races that were in Star Trek TV & Film, were never given a timeline on how when where & why, they just showed up poof they are there. Then there is how Star Trek (2009) was just a FAIL, It was nothing like how it was referenced to by shatner aka Kirk, and Spock was never referenced to having any love interest when he was younger that I can remember. But Worf was one of my Favorite charaters, always having honor and dignity, respect and willing
to die in battle for what he believed in, even if it meant saving a shipmate.

why not set it on a klingon ship, even better, a series, steeped in the klingon empire as all the previous ones were in the federation?

10 years total but only 5 on SyFy, you have to remember that the show originated on Showtime and didn’t move to SyFy until season 6. So far, no scripted show on SyFy has ran for more than 5 seasons and none have ever received early enough notice of their pending cancellation to wrap things up the way they would have wanted to; the closest to this was Eureka which actually managed to air a proper series finale although they had originally been promised and had planned for a 6 episode season 6 to wrap things up.

It just takes a temporal agent to fix it. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Temporal_agent

That was in Star Trek “First Contact”. Which was during DS9 before Season 4 Episode 11 “Home Front”.

And besides he probably won’t get a command because he saved Jedzia Dax instead of completing a mission to extract Larsaran, a Cardasian defector. (Season 6 episode 16 “Change of heart”)

Later, closer to the end of the series Worf becomes the federation ambassador to the Klingon empire.
One of favorite lines from the series.
Martok: “Finally, a Star Fleet ambassador that I can go targ hunting with.”
(Season 7 episode 25 “What you leave behind”)

Although he did say in Star Trek Nemisis that he was not suited for the life of a diplomat. This was after DS9.

Yet, in Star Trek TNG Season 7 episode 25 & 26 “All Good Things” Worf had been an ambassador for quite sometime before relations between the Klingon empire and Star Fleet had fallen apart. But, Q was involved in this one so who knows where Worf ends up.

They totally need to make a non-Terran centric series. Something that shows the other species development in the trek universe. The whole series doesn’t have to revolve around a single species either. They can even go old school and maybe show the wars between the Romulans and Klingons. Sh*t I wouldn’t even mind finding out how the borg started. Let’s just hope by the third Star Trek reboot movie they put the universe back together so this can all work.

If the Stargate Atlantis Movie wasn’t made I doubt this will be made too.

Except that the Vulcans (and their homeworld) were charter members of the Federation. Saying that its destruction wouldn’t radically alter the history would be like saying: If the Nazi’s bombed new york city into oblivion, there wouldn’t be that much of an impact on the intervening history. It is going to drastically alter everything after.

I think Abrams will correct this bubble paradox in the third movie and everything will resume as normal.

It seems to me the only real changes that was made to the Star Trek Universe was A) Vulcan was destroyed and B) The circumstances as to how Pike was paralyzed… I mean it refrenced the older movies like in Star Trek II the wrath of Kahn Kirk talked about how he beat the Kobiashi Maru (sorry 2am spelling sucks). He changed the conditions of the test just as was shown in the movie. And since there was no story telling how Kirk got his command in the first place saying that time travel ruined anything of the Next Generation Universe at all with the exception of the loss of Vulcun is unknown. I mean according to Nero’s story in the 2009 movie his planet was destroyed durning TNG time line anyway….So again all that it intended to do was reintroduce a young cast to make stories that take place within it’s orginal five year mission hell the movie even reffered to Archer and his dog so it does respect the continuity at some point ….and on a side note to people accusing The next movie of rehashing the wrath of Kahn would be inaccurate. If the villian is indeed Kahn which he is unamed at this time it would technically be thier first meeting so it would be more based on space seed…..

Yes, is all I can say, a Worf film would be excellent!
There is no reason we can’t have this, plus even a series down the line, and STILL have the new films, new films bring in new fans, Worf film/series keeps the current fans happy!
Luckily Star Treks fans should easily cope with having two distinct branches of the franchise running at the same time!
We need more Star Trek!

If there’s anything that could redeem Trek in the eyes of its fandom, it’d be this. I personally did not care for Abrams’ STINO film, and Michael Dorn was part of Star Trek for the better part of 15 years, so if he wants to get involved in a production aspect (where one of the more interesting characters is featured) I’d say give him a chance.

I’d just hope that 3 things are done with the project:

1)Bring back all the great designers of previous Trek. Mike Okuda, Doug Drexler, John Eaves, Bob Blackman, Joe Longo, Rick Sternbach, Dan Curry- These guys knew how to make Trek look good while also still restrain itself to a budget. They know the style, they all worked well together, and they are the Trek Design team. Abrams’ STINO team and Cryptic’s STO team could learn a thing or two from them.

2) Bring in other unresolved plot threads. Have Frakes as Riker do a cameo with the USS Titan to pay homage to that crew and it’s mission that was only briefly mentioned. See if Sisko has come back from his year with the prophets, and if Bajor ever actually joined the Federation. Is Garak now the Ambassador the the Federation for Cardassia, or is he the Prime Minister or President of Cardassia? Is Chakotay captain of Voyager now? Wrap up some of these questions for fans that don’t abide by the Book Timeline (yes, I know all of these questions were wrapped up long ago in the books, so why not make some of them Canon?).

3) Don’t try an link it up with Abrams’ film. Yeah, I know that Worf was featured in the “Countdown” comic, but they messed up his character so badly in that, it made me supremely angry. Let this be it’s own standalone in the actual Trek Timeline. The second you try to link up with the Abrams film, you lose fans.

I trust Dorn to want to make the best Trek film he can, and if he can get Paramount release its death grip on the franchise name, we’ll hopefully have an excellent bit of Trek in the future instead of mournfully watching Abrams bury it in a shallow grave.

Agreed. I wish someone would allow Keith DeCandido to write a Trek script. He’s the king of TrekLit right now, and he loves his Klingons…

Heck, in the books he even eventually retires from his Ambassadorship to go back into Starfleet. Supposedly that occurs sometime in between “Insurrection” and “Nemesis”, so that he can still be present as a Starfleet officer during the last film after Riker’s wedding. So this would totally make sense. Problem is though, by this point in the books, he’s first officer of the Enterprise-E under Picard.

Yes, I know, the books are not canon. I’m just sayin’ it’s not unprecedented.

Make it so. Michael Dorn and Worf have both paid their dues. I think Captain Worf chasing down terrorists is a fantastic idea.

I should have guessed that the Internet and specifically a few unhappy Star Trek fans would resort to hyperbolic exaggeration. I have been a Star Trek fan for most of my life and I don’t see how going forward with 2 or 3 more movies in Abram’s timeline destroys ANYTHING else in the Star Trek universe. It may not be the direction you want going forward but to characterize one movie (so far) as having wiped out 46 years of Star Trek history plays to the worst stereotypes of Trekkies.

do not forget star trek lives in our universe and the only thing that matters is money. So there could be 2, 3, 4, or however many they want that makes money.

Key word i’d say would be “probably”

he could still be a captain… Take Kirk he disobeyed a direct order from the head of starfleet and he was able to keep a career as a Captain

Exactly. It is not an alternate timeline anymore, it is the new star trek universe because that is the direction the movies will now take. They could have easily done a reboot that would have appealed to a younger generation as well as to the older, loyal fans. Instead, everything familiar and 46 years of star trek history is now gone. All the star trek stories are now meaningless because hollywood is going to stick with this new timeline. As a star trek fan, it feels like a betrayal. I would gladly watch a movie with Worf, though, and try and push aside how abrams ruined the star trek universe.

I’ll just bet that Michael Dorn IS pitching a Worf movie!
And Brent Spiner probably has a plum of an idea for a Data movie too!

Get over it guys the new timeline established by the 2009 ST cancelled out your lackluster imitation of TOS forever & now you have two choices; live off of convention money for the rest of your lives or DO SOMETHING NEW!

Oh noes!!! This will cut into their budget for the sequels to Mega-Shark vs Mega-Python vs Mega-Piranha!
