Star Trek Picard Season 3 Ending Explained (In Detail)
Star Trek: Picard season 3’s finale concludes the story of TNG in grand style and sets up the next generation’s legacy, along with a big surprise.
What Is Michael Dorn’s Star Trek Future As Worf?
It’s hard to believe Worf won’t return to Star Trek
Michael Dorn’s return as Captain Worf was one of the true highlights ofStar Trek: Picardseason 3. Paired with Commander Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd), Worf showed a more pacifistic side - or so he said, as the Klingon warrior was as efficient at killing foes as ever. Worf was integral toStar Trek: Picardseason 3’s success andMichael Dorn delighted audiences by showing new facets of Worf.However, withStar Trek: Picard’s proposed spinoff,Star Trek: Legacy, not happening, will Worf be seen again inStar Trek?
Don’t expectStar Trek: Picardseason 3 to be the last we see ofStar Trek’s greatest Klingon.
Even withoutStar Trek: Legacy,it’s hard to believe one of theupcomingStar Trekserieswon’t utilize Worf in some fashion, at least in some sort of cameo appearance. Meanwhile,Michael Dorn has numerous real-lifeStar Trekconnections, like his eternal friendships with theTNGcast. Dorn is also a pilot teachingStar Trek: Strange New Worlds' Melissa Navia how to fly. Whatever comes next for Michael Dorn’s Worf, don’t expectStar Trek: Picardseason 3 to be the last we see ofStar Trek’s greatest Klingon.
