One minor gripe I had with Star Trek: The Next Generation was that there were not enough scenes showing Worf being a badass. I know he was there to show how the Federation had made peace with one of their greatest enemies, but he could have still tapped into his Klingon savage side a bit more for my tastes. Ongoing storylines like giving him a son or an ill-conceived romance with Deanna Troy only served to soften him up further. I see that he is returning with most of the original Bridge Crew for the new season of Picard - but in the trailer for that he announces that he is now a pacifist. Let's hope he rethinks that stance by the end of the season.

While I wasn't that fond of many of Worf's storylines on DS9, he was much more effective as a fighter against the Dominion
Hard to tell the difference between him and Tasha Yar as the security chief.
He was very good in Parallels for going with the different conditions he met.
Sorry, Ross. But, for me, Worf will never be more of a badass than when he finally skewered that good-for-nothing Duras with his bat'leth in the TNG episode "Reunion"!
Not to mention Gowron. But all too often his only purpose in TNG was to show how strong an alien was because he could mop the floor with their resident Klingon.
The third "and final" season of Star Trek: Picard will also feature Geordi (as you implied), rounding out appearances from the TNG crew (even Wesley had a cameo in Season 2). I'm admittedly sorry to see the show go, though it may be just as well given the title actor's age.
Besides, the Star Trek show that I'm really looking forward to seeing more of of Discovery... though the recent CGI-animated show Prodigy is quite interesting. I'd love to see the latter show's crew make an appearance here.
I'll tell you who'd be interesting against the Aliens, though: the team of Lobo and Wolverine.
@Emsley Wyatt: hey! Even Mr. T, as B.A. Baracus, wound up getting his clock cleaned by a giant Mexican bouncer in the original 2-hour pilot film for NBC's "The A-Team."
Well since you’re doing a cartoon version of Worf, may I suggest Worf vs Kalibak?

Star Trek has never been about violence for the sake of violence.
Sorry.
@Daviticus: on the other hand, this would make for a great tie-in with today's cover (STF #3907).
