I like that DS9 did an episode showing how inexperienced kids running a star ship is a really bad idea in practice. It's also a fairly accurate portrayal of how big the egos of a military cadet can get despite not having had to deal with the real world.

I never really took that to be Keiko being down to clown like that. At first I just assumed she meant "We'll just wait till i'm older" but after DS9 I now take it to mean this is where she starts the polycule she clearly wants to build.

it's kinda weird how much time they spent on Miles tbh. I did not find him an engaging character and it felt like a weak attempt at sympathy for the devil for an obvious bigot. Was there a producer who really liked Colm Meaney or something?

It was the audience that loved Colm Meaney. In a future where humanity has risen above the bullshit of the current day and are basically ‘perfect’ you have a normal married guy who works with his hands and has personality flaws. It’s why Barclay was so popular, although I think his schtick would’ve worn thin if he had as much screen time as O’Brien.

It also helps that Meaney is, as far as I know, a well-reputed actor and liked by everyone. Especially compared to Dwight Schultz. But since Colm Meaney also had a career after Star Trek, he is probably too expensive for STO and doesn't appear in it in any way, not even in the DS9 and Gamma quadrant storyline which is closest we will ever get to a DS9 sequel or movie.

I really enjoyed how he and Wharf got turned into 3 dimensional characters after TNG Personal preference and all that

Yeh same feelings here I like him having to fix all the lovely broken DS9 tech like the replicator that keeps spitting out piss-coffee and arguing with an operating system he isn't used to Why is this turbolift broken, all the sensors are nominal *commences ripping wires/USB data crystals out from under console* gently caress

O'Brien had so much legitimate trauma before and during the series and everyone loves to poo poo on him because he can't magically turn himself from a solider who has to pull the trigger and watch someone die in front of them to just being a normal tolerant open minded dude again on a dime. Even after all the horror he witnessed he still managed to make a decent life for himself and continued to work on his problems and improve as a person. Most people who went through that would just be perpetually online curating their list of trigger warnings and neurosis in their Twitter bio, or go the other way and turn into a full time MAGA chud.

That was seriously messed up. It's been a while but I don't remember if they really conveyed the gravity of his suffering. Absolutely top notch sci fi concept. Also the way I saw him was he held a grudge and had some PTSD from war and didn't like spoonheads as a result.

Hard to do in less than an hour but I think they did the best they could. Hitting plastic buckets with a giant wrench was a little silly but going from that immediately into full on suicide attempt was pretty harsh.

Honestly I do like Miles by DS9, but that's because the dynamics in that show are that much better IMO. I think I just really hate the episode where he's got the Cardassian kid Rugal and at the beginning he's like oh no Keiko, don't let Molly be around that boy (oh Miles!), then by the end he's giving a very 90's trek-speech about how you shouldn't judge a whole race and it's like HEY. No you don't get to just say it like that, when at the very beginning of the episode you were up to your old shenanigans! be more honest about who you still are. It's too fast of a redemption arc for me.

The best interaction for Miles has to be when he was working with the Cardassian woman and she was like " Let's get down"

Hot horny cardassian lady was fun, it’s like when the racist skinhead biker has a black wife, but the real winner is when O’Brien bonds with the cardassian kid over their mutual annoyance of keiko’s bullshit

O'Brien knew Dr. Pulaski hated the transporters so when she chose to beam down to a planet (I think it's the clip show episode where they force Riker to relive his best memories, then immediately experience his worst to kill some parasite in him), he takes extra care... To gently caress with her right before he beams her down. O'Brien owns

So there's this teenaged boy who showed up in your city a few hours ago. You two know things about him so far, first, he bit someone's hand for saying hello, second, he might be dealing with possible trauma from growing up an an abusive home. Are you comfortable with boy spending a few hours alone with your very young daughter? Keep in mind one of these answers will make you a bigot, I guess.
