10 most disliked Star Trek characters, ranked

8. Alexander Rozhenko (Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine)

Alexander Rozhenko is the little Klingon who could... annoy the stars out of the Star Trek universe. It's not that we don't appreciate a good Klingon warrior in the making, but Alexander is like that one kid at a party who just can't get read the room. Appearing in both The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, he's the son of Worf, which you'd think would make him an instant hit. But alas, no. This kiddo is more likely to trip over his own bat'leth than to strike fear in the hearts of his enemies. It's like watching a puppy trying to act like a wolf – cute but kind of sad.

Now, why the universal groan every time Alexander beams onto the screen? Well, for starters, his character is as inconsistent as a replicator on its dying leg. In one episode, he's a stubborn little warrior wannabe, and in the next, he's as Klingon as a Tribble in a beauty contest. The writers seemed to be playing "pin the tail" on the storyline with him. And let's not forget his acting – it's as if he's trying to outdo a Vulcan in a "Who Can Be More Wooden?" competition. The poor kid was more out of place than a Ferengi at a charity event. In the end, Alexander's character was a painfully missed opportunity.

Again, this is a clear case of what could have been. They just didn't get it right.
