On Facebook some people were talking about how Worf's character arc would've been different if K'ehlyr had lived...
PNQ: Opinions?
The implications are staggering. Upon reflection it would've been nice for Worf to kill Duras during a "Redemption" three parter, skipping Toral entirely. Split TNG into the "Duras era" and the "Duras sisters/Sela era".
Plus I have to admit it, the relationships with Troi and Jadzia never made sense to me. Troi was too fragile and Jadzia was too self-centered. If K'ehlyr was a recurring character there would be no Troi romance and Alexander might've actually served a function. Clashing parental strategies and so forth.
She wouldn't have worked as a regular on DS9, but a nice recurring character instead. Maybe she's taken hostage by the Martok changeling. She has another child with Worf, and this time it's a daughter that actually wants to follow the Klingon lifestyle. Tons of potential there!
Another thing to consider is how Alexander would interact with Jake and Nog. There are tons of possible stories there!
