Editing Worf (section)

== Prominent episodes ==
Some shows have a major subplot for the Worf character. The first of these debuted in 1988, "[[Heart of Glory]]" (which was S1E20 of ''The Next Generation'') This kicked off a long-running story arc that continued until the end of ''DS9'' in 1999 on television and 2002 on film.

In the 2012 book ''Star Trek 101: A Practical Guide to Who, What, Where, and Why'' by ''Terry J. Erdmann,'' they felt "The Way of the Warrior" was one of three key episodes for the character Worf, along with "The Sword of Khaless" and "Sons of Mogh".<ref name=":2">{{Cite book|last=Erdmann|first=Terry J.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yi0xvGuzVC0C&q=The+Way+of+the+Warrior+Star+Trek+Deep+Space+Nine|title=Star Trek 101: A Practical Guide to Who, What, Where, and Why|date=September 23, 2008|publisher=Simon and Schuster|isbn=978-1-4391-1787-3|language=en}}</ref>
