People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.

Someone can fly a shuttle into the side of the ship, fly a shuttle through a hole in the ship, eject the warpcore or get alien STDs everywhere and it basically never happened.

Why?

Goons aren't saying that, the DS9 writers are saying that. Goons just point out how poo poo his life is.

O'Brien is kind of a genius though, at the start of DS9 he's just like 'gently caress man you want me to integrate Federation technology with Cardassian technology and have it all work just fine gently caress' and then he does it anyway.

Meanwhile you ask an IT kid to make this Windows program run on Linux natively and he rolls his eyes and calls you an idiot.

I just watched that season 1 ep where Wesley takes the test to get into the academy and it involved a bit where he thought the base was on fire and he had to rescue one guy while leaving another to die and drat, trying to become a space janitor requires some serious gumption and know how.

DS9 does a good job of making it seem like the place would just break in half without Obrien there. Yeah, everyone has a job but you could always get another security chief or captain if they died but if Smiley died you might as turn the lights off and shut it down.

O'Brien got hosed by being good at his previous job and getting posted to a much shittier place and forced to do a much more terrible job because "He's the best we got"

As the only enlisted man, O'Brian has to do all of the work. That's why he's the best engineer/soldier in the federation.

Was that an entrance to regular old StarFleet, or was it a fast-track to the officer's corp? If not, then holy poo poo it must take generations (lol) to staff a starship.

The other dude scored slightly higher and got in. Worf gave Wes a chat in the holodeck about how the psych eval was though and he had to face his fears like a warrior. It's was a fun episode, tho, I like seasons 1 and 2 of TNG a bunch, tho it needed to change to survive. Pulaski should have stayed on, tho.

McCoy was good because you felt he and Spock were at least equal and often Spock came out a slight bit ahead.
