Spoilers The Way of the Warrior. Was it really a good idea for Sisko to get Worf?

I know that the relationship with the other Klingons were with everyone on Deep Space and the incident with Cassidy Yate's ship but was it really a good idea for Sisko to try to persuade Starfleet to get Worf involved just because he was Klingon?
 
Seemed to work out okay in the long run. The Klingon attack on Cardassia could have gone so much worse if not for the warning. What's your opinion on the matter?
 
well for one thing, Worf went through the ordeal of the whole Nexus thing in Star Trek Generations and the demise of Enterprise D.

also what if Worf said no where he wanted to be left alone because of what everyone on the Enterprise D went through. What then? There goes kaput Sisko's hope of Starfleet and Worf.
 
Worf didn't resign from Starfleet, so he still goes where he's needed. His connection with the Klingon who owed his father a favor got them their information about Gowron's plan to invade Cardassia, evidence of a changeling takeover or not. There was a lot better chance of Worf having such a connection than if Worf hadn't been there and they relied on previous series regulars.

To quote Sisko...

SISKO: Curzon told me once that in the long run, the only people who can really handle the Klingons are Klingons. Get me Starfleet Command.

The right choice IMO.
 
No,not really.

and Kurzon was a drunken womanizer where his trill parasite almost got Jadzia executed over some stupid thing that Kurzon got involved with on some other planet.

also Worf was probably not working right after Enterprise D was destroyed.

What if Worf would have said no. in Next Generation he had enough of the crap going on with Gowron and the Klingon Civil War stuff.

But what do I know. Im not Rick Berman or that Ira guy so...
 
Gandhi was a wife-beating asshole, too. It's not a hindrance to having good insight and ideas.

"Worf not working right" seems to adequately describe every appearance of the character, including all those where his saying yes to Sisko in "WotW" resulted in Federation triumphs. Worf is a wreck, orphaned in an alien culture and trying to learn Klingonhood from reading their equivalent of chivalry fiction (or its Don Quixote parodies). Which is what makes him so great in solving all sorts of problems more wholesome people can't tackle, apparently.

The irony is that at this point it was the Klingons who were infiltrated by a changeling, the one that was pushing war with Cardassia (IE Martok).
 
Prune Juice: A warrior's drink.

Odo: Worf, why are you talking to your beverage?

Worf: It's not a beverage, it's a Klngon.

Odo:???

Worf: Two can play this game!

I thought this was before he got replaced - they have a scene in the wardroom of him, Sisko, and Kira slicing their hands to prove they aren't Changelings
