There is a fair argument that no character Star Trek has ever grown up than worf that started Next generation As Flunkie and ended the show as a head of security, whose decision influenced the entire Klingon Empire. Later he moved to Deep Space Nine and eventually married before playing a critical role in events that saved the entire Federation from Dominion. It is irony that Worf’s actor Michael Dorn hated the “The Enemy” script because this TNG episode set his later character development by emphasizing how the brutal Klingon could really be.
Michael Dorn didn’t like “The Enemy”
If you haven’t watched this episode for some time, you need to know: Dr. Crusher is trying to save the dying Romulan and find that worf is the only suitable donor for the blood that this enemy alien needs to live. However, Worf He still hates Romulans for killing his father and shocking the audience and colleagues of the character by refusing to donate, which became a point when Romulan refused to handle and brought. Michael Dorn originally hated the script “The Enemy” because he thought that donating the enemy “it is an honorary thing” and concerns “People would look at worf as a murderer”.
As recorded Captain Protocols: Unauthorized Complete TrekMichael Dorn initially disagreed with the authors and producers for the “enemy”. He was specifically angry at how “producers felt that worf was too human … just a man with a big head” and how they jumped on “an amazing opportunity” to show that the Klingon “is not bound by the same moral as we”. As mentioned earlier, Dorn feared that the audience watching at home would be upset that his character was a dishonest murderer who serves on a boat full of stellar Goody-Good.
Normally we would postpone and Star Trek The actor, when it comes to their character … like who the hell could better understand worf than Dorn, who played the character on three different shows and four different films in the franchise? In this case, however, were producers completely Correct: The whole attractiveness of the worf is that he is not a person that allows us to see different situations and characters through his clear foreign eyes. Michael Dorn may have had his doubts, but Worf’s willingness to let Romulan died in “The Enemy” is entirely in line with the Klingon culture and values and gives us a great insight into this warrior.
And for those of you who are about to attack us with your Bat’leths replicas, you should know that the actor agreed to this evaluation after the episode came out. Michael Dorn finally admitted that “The Enemy” did a great job and showed us Worf’s different parties. Certainly, he might want to drink juice for juice and make Moona Eyes on a betched advisor, but at the end of the day his character is too happy to let Romulana die rather than Sully’s blood donation himself.
If we had to argue, Michael Dorn probably appreciated the “The Enemy” because it was the first really great episode that plunged into the culture of the Klingons, the race that was a close Original series. Later in the same season we got a storyline at the worf father, who will set up the entire arch for our favorite security chief and eventually leads to the Klingon Civil War. Maybe we have never had any of these great stories if TNG Writers and producers did not come out of the way to show how an extraterrestrial worf could be.
