> [@PSXer](#): > > so would the show just be Captain Worf blowing up every ship they meet? I think it would only last one episode. Worf would meet a larger ship and, having no other options, crash his into it. A glorious death that will be spoken of in legends for eons. ---

The thing is. They will propose a _Captain Worf_ show. The studios will greelight a _Captain Wesley_. Although Wil Wheaton is actually pretty funny. ---

He’d never do it in a million years. He feels pretty strongly that they\* purposefully tried to screw him over as a child actor (and given the evidence, I’m leaning towards him being right) and I’m betting there’s no way that he’d give them the satisfaction. \*“They” being the production people, not the actual actors or set crew or individual directors. Want to make that clear - he loves those guys. ---

I want to see Captain Worf’s performance assessment meetings “Lt Martin, your slow response in reporting sensor readings have dishonored me and our ship.” “I’ve very sorry sir” “Apologies are not sufficient. Prepare for battle” ---
