This could be good, but getting the financing might be impossible.
Michael Dorn has been trying to get that off the ground for several years. Not gonna happen.
Even if it did happen, it would be a very, very bad show.
I like Michael Dorn and I love Worf as a character, but I doubt anyone really wants to see yet another Trek series set in the Next Generation time period.
"What if Worf didn't have a Klingon uniform, didn't have a Starfleet uniform, but he had his own uniform?"
Star Trek that's not too Star Trek! Where have I heard that before? ::)

Lol. Who knew Worf was also a tailor?
Worf: Tinker Tailor Soldier Klingon
What I'm baffled by more than anything is the timeline. If the show is supposed to take place between the end of DS9 and Nemesis, that doesn't allow for much time for episodes/storylines -- only about two years if memory serves.
It would make far more sense for the show to take place after Nemesis -- both in terms of Worf having the rank of Captain (since he was only a Lieutenant Commander in DS9), plus allowing Dorn to freely play a more obviously middle-aged Klingon officer should he choose.
Worf could be a good show. He could go back in time and find out what f--ked-up the Klingons foreheads. The first one I ever saw was a female and I thought it was from Kirk banging her head on the headboard. ;D
Worf lampshaded that pretty hilariously on the episode where the DS9 crew go back in time to the Trouble With Tribbles episode: "We don't like to talk about it."
Personally I'd rather see a series centered on Garak than on Worf. I like Worf, but let's maybe try something other than a Federation-centric series?

Oooh, now you have my attention. Bring back Andrew Robinson ASAP!
^ He wrote a book called "A Stitch In Time" - if you haven't read it, bbmike, you REALLY need to get it. :)

Yes, I've read it a couple of times. I think I'm due to read it again. O0
I let a friend borrow my copy long ago and he never returned it. A shame because the damn thing is very expensive!
Since Garak and Worf served together for quite a while on DS9, there's no reason the series couldn't feature both of them. (Aside from whatever eventually happened to Garak. I recall he survives DS9 but, he went into retirement or something?)

That would be awesome!
Garak was tied with Martok (obviously) as my favorite character in DS9. Moreover, would love to see a series further explore the history & complexity of the Cardassians; one of the more interesting Trek races IMO.

At the end of the series, he remains on Cardassia Prime, presumably to help rebuild his shattered world/people.
In the EU novels, he ends up having a fairly important role in the new government. He eventually becomes the resurrected Union's ambassador to the Federation.
