Day #29 of the 30 Day Television Challenge. Getting near the end - which is a good thing, since I'm growing weary of it.

The prompt is ...Character whose introduction improved a television series.

I'm drawing a blank. I know there's something...can I use Buffy again? It's my meme, my rules. I can do whatever I want.

I am going to go with Farscape instead. Chiana - showed up towards the end of S1, and that's when the series suddenly got really good. I'd almost recommend folks starting Farscape, to skip ahead to the Chiana episode.

"It Is a Good Day to Die"

When Star Trek: The Next Generation ended its acclaimed seven season run, Deep Space Nine was at a crossroads. Going into season 4, Paramount execs wanted to juice the ratings a little, so they made a suggestion: why not bring Worf over?

Showrunner Ira Steven Behr bristled at the suggestion. He had the whole Dominion War plotline ready to go, and squeezing in a new character--even a fan favorite--was going to be a lot of work. But he did see the possibilities, and Michael Dorn was welcomed on to the station.

Well, for once, the suits were right. Worf and Dorn immediately raised DS9's profile, and adding the Klingons to the already volatile political situation in the series opened up new storytelling avenues.

"The Way of the Warrior"--the 2-hour s4 season opener--is on many fans' short list of best DS9 episodes.

K'Plach!
